💖 PHM2IF(1) 💖 (General Commands Manual)

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about phm2if — she's a whole phantom-generating icon and she lives in your terminal 💅

✨ NAME ✨

phm2if — generate Phantom (generate phantom for computed tomography simulator)

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

phm2if outfile nx ny [--phantom phantom-name] [--picfile filename]
       [OPTIONS]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So basically, phm2if makes phantom images so you can compare them against reconstructions for CTsim. It's giving "reference image so we know if the reconstruction ate or not." 👑

And listen, phm2if is fully configurable — she's got a whole buffet of options for phantom generation, so you can build exactly the phantom you want. Obsessed.

The options are as follows:

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • --phantom predefined-phantom-name — picks out a predefined phantom by name. Lowkey the easiest way to get a phantom without doing the most.
  • --picfile picfile — reads in a picture file that defines a phantom. Your art, your rules 🖼️
  • --filter filter-name — generates a phantom image from a filter
  • --filter-param x — sets the alpha level for the Hamming filter
  • --filter-bw bw — filter bandwidth (default is 1)
  • --filter-domain domain — sets the domain to "spatial" or "freq"
  • --nsample n — uses n samples per X & Y direction for each pixel. More samples, more detail, more slay ✨
  • --trace level — sets the trace level (default is none)
  • --desc description — saves a description inside the image file 📝
  • --verbose — turns on verbose mode. She will talk to you 💬
  • --debug — turns on debug mode 🐛
  • --version — prints the version
  • --help — prints a terse help summary

🌈 HISTORY 🌈

CTSim was begun in 1983 using MS-DOS and an EGA display adapter. Then in 1999 it was ported to GNU/Linux, and later it got ported to Microsoft Windows. The way she's been migrating for decades?? Resilient queen 🧚
