MINCPIK(1)

💖 MINCPIK(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the User Commands section of the manual, and today's main character is mincpik 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

mincpik — MNI medical image format tools 🧠📸

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

⚠️ heads up: Option h is ambiguous (help, horizontal)

so like, the usage is literally this:

mincpik [options] <infile>.mnc [<image.type>]

mincpik makes image files out of MINC volumes, and it does it by handing things off to the Imagemagick convert utility 🖼️✨ Use -help or -man if you want more info and examples — she's got receipts, fr fr 💅

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -v, --verbose — be noisy when doing things 📢 like, tell me everything bestie
• --version — print version number and exit 🏷️
• -?, --help — dump some quick help output 🆘
• --man — dump a man page 📖 (yes, the thing you're reading, iconic)
• -c, --clobber — overwrite the output file if it exists already 💥 no hesitation
• -f, --fake — do a dry run, (echo cmds only). This is usually used in combination with -verbose to echo commands only 👻 pretend mode, nothing actually happens
• --scale — scaling factor for resulting image, by default images are output at twice their original resolution 🔍
• --width — autoscale the resulting image to have a fixed image width (in pixels) 📏
• --depth — bitdepth for resulting image 8 or 16 (MSB machines only!) 🧊
• --title — add a title to the resulting image, if just this option is specified the text used for the title is the name of the input image file 🏷️
• --title_text — use the input string for the title [default: input-filename]. This option must be used in conjunction with -title ✍️
• --title_size — font point size for the title 🔠
• --anot_bar — create an annotated bar to match the image (use height of the output image) 📊

🍓 Image range and lookup table options 🍓

• --range — valid range of values for MINC file 🎯
• --image_range — range of image values to use for pixel intensity 🌈
• --auto_range — automatically determine image range using a 5 and 95% PcT. (histogram) 📈
• --lookup — arguments to pass to minclookup 🔎

🦋 Slicing options 🦋

• -s, --slice — slice number to get. (note this is in voxel co-ordinates) 🍰
• -z, --axial, --transverse — get an axial/transverse (z) slice 🪓
• -y, --coronal — get a coronal (y) slice 👑
• -x, --sagittal — get a sagital (x) slice 🫧

🌈 Triplanar options 🌈

• -t, --triplanar — create a triplanar view of the input file 🧊
• --tilesize — pixel size for each image in a triplanar 🔲
• --sagittal_offset — offset the sagittal slice from the centre 🎯
• --sagittal_offset_perc — offset the sagittal slice by a percentage from the centre 📐
• --vertical — create a vertical triplanar view (Default) ⬆️
• --horizontal — create a horizontal triplanar view ➡️

and that's the whole vibe check, bestie 🫶 mincpik 2.3.00, dated July 2020 — go make some gorgeous images, you ate 💅✨🍓
