🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Here's the actual tea 👑:

like. it takes your image and it CASTS it. to a type you specify. main character energy fr fr 🌟

🎀 Input arguments 🎀

these are the ones you feed in, the little guys you hand over at the door 🫶

• -id — declared as Id (str,1), and it defaults to 0. this is the script id. yes, it shows up again down in the output list, she contains multitudes.
• -handle — declared as Self (self,1). it's a handle to self. very "look inward" of it ngl 💭
• -disabled — declared as Disabled (bool,1), and here's the kicker: default 0. flip it on and it disables execution and piping. so like, the whole thing just… doesn't go. lowkey useful, highkey a little ominous 😭
• -i — declared as Image (vtkImageData,1). this is the input image. the star of the show. the moment. 🌸
• -ifile — declared as ImageInputFileName (str,1). it's the filename for the default Image reader. give her a path and she'll read it for you 📖
• -type — declared as OutputType (str,1) in ['float', 'double', 'uchar', 'short'], and the default is float. this is the output image type, so you've got exactly four flavors to pick from: float, double, uchar, short. choose wisely bestie 🍓
• -shiftscale — declared as ShiftScale (int,1), default 1. it shift-scales the values to fit the windowlevel. teamwork honestly 🤝
• -windowlevel — declared as WindowLevel (float,2), default [0.0, 0.0]. this is the window and the level, for value mapping. two floats, one job 💅
• -ofile — declared as ImageOutputFileName (str,1). the filename for the default Image writer. tell her where to put the results 📝

🌈 Output arguments 🌈

the lil gifts she hands back to you at the end 🎁

• -id — declared as Id (str,1), default 0. the script id, back for round two. she said "I'm not leaving" 💖
• -handle — declared as Self (self,1). handle to self. still self-referential, still thriving 🪞
• -o — declared as Image (vtkImageData,1). this is the output image. the glow-up version. the cast one. periodt. ✨
