VMTKIMAGESEEDER(1)

💖 VMTKIMAGESEEDER 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about vmtkimageseeder — it's a vmtk script (like, the whole manual page is literally titled VMTKIMAGESEEDER(1), iconic) and its whole vibe is: you get to interactively place seeds in a 3D image. That's it. That's the dream. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

vmtkimageseeder — bestie it's the vmtk script vmtkimageseeder, no notes 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, the automatic piping situation: vmtkimageseeder does its automatic piping thing, and it also does the parsing options thing — vmtkimageseeder both times, yeah. That's the boilerplate, we move.

vmtkimageseeder : interactively place seeds in a 3D image 🎀

fr fr that's the whole point of it. You point it at a 3D image, you click around and drop little seeds in there, it hands you back your seeds and your image. no cap.

✨ Input arguments ✨

• -id Id (str,1); default=0 — the script id, classic
• -handle Self (self,1) — handle to self, the obligatory little self-reference, main character energy honestly
• -disabled Disabled (bool,1); default=0 — toggle this to disable execution and piping
• -i Image (vtkImageData,1) — the input image 🖼️ your actual 3D image, the star of the show
• -ifile ImageInputFileName (str,1) — filename for the default Image reader
• -array ArrayName (str,1) — name of the array to display
• -renderer vmtkRenderer (vmtkRenderer,1) — an external renderer, if you've already got one going
• -display Display (bool,1); default=1 — toggle rendering on/off
• -keepseeds KeepSeeds (bool,1); default=0 — toggle avoid removal of seeds from renderer, so your seeds don't get yeeted 💀
• -seedcolor SeedRGBColor (float,3) >= 0.0 and <= 1.0; default=[1.0, 0.0, 0.0] — RGB Values to set the color of the seed to. red by default 🍓 (three floats, and keep them between 0.0 and 1.0, bestie, that's the range)
• -textureinterpolation TextureInterpolation (bool,1); default=1 — toggle interpolation of graylevels on image planes
• -ofile ImageOutputFileName (str,1) — filename for the default Image writer
• -seedsfile SeedsOutputFileName (str,1) — filename for the default Seeds writer

🌈 Output arguments 🌈

• -id Id (str,1); default=0 — script id, again, she contains multitudes
• -handle Self (self,1) — handle to self, again 🫶
• -o Image (vtkImageData,1) — the output image 🖼️
• -seeds Seeds (vtkPolyData,1) — the placed seeds 🌱 the whole reason we're here

ngl the handler ones show up on both the input side AND the output side, that's just how this script do. don't panic, it's giving intentional.
