WB_VIEW(1)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to WB_VIEW(1) — this is wb_view, the visualization and discovery tool you use to map neuroimaging data 🧠✨. It's the main character of your whole pipeline, fr fr.

---

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

wb_view [options] [files]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So like, [files]? If you actually pass some in, it can be a single spec file, or it can be multiple data files. That's it, that's the whole vibe check 💅.

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -help — shows you this usage text. The "help me help you" button 🫶
• -enable-perf — turns on graphics performance improvements, specifically surface buffers and volume textures. Glow-up for your GPU, no cap 🔥
• -graphics-size <X Y> — sets the size of the graphics region. ⚠️ Heads up: if you use this option you WILL NOT be able to change the size of the graphic region. Like, it's locked in. It may be useful when you want image captures of a particular size 📸
• -logging <level> — sets the logging level. Valid levels are:

SEVERE WARNING INFO CONFIG FINE FINER FINEST ALL OFF

pick your poison, bestie 💀

• -mac-menu-in-window — MacOS only. Menus live at the top of each main window, similar to Linux and Window Applications. May be useful for creating tutorial images and videos 🎀
• -no-recent-files-dialog — inhibits display of the Open Recent Files Dialog when wb_view starts up. Bye bye popup 🙈
• -no-splash — (Obsolete) replaced by "-no-recent-files-dialog". The splash screen was replaced with the Open Recent Fiels Dialog. (Yes, Fiels. Typo and all, we keep it 💅)
• -recent-files-mode <mode> — sets the recent file's file system access mode. It overrides and replaces the value in preferences. Using an off mode prevents file system access for obtaining last modified time and file existance. This option may be useful if recent files are on a mounted file system that is having problems that may cause wb_view to hang at startup 😭 Valid modes are:

ON OFF

• -scene-load <scene-file-name> <scene-name-or-number> — loads the specified scene file and displays the scene in the file that matches by name or number. Name takes precedence over number. The scene numbers start at one. The scene dialog remains visible after loading of the scene 👑
• -scene-load-hd <scene-file-name> <scene-name-of-number> — same as "-scene-load" except that the scene dialog is hidden after the scene has loaded. Sneaky link energy 🤫
• -scene-recent — loads the most recently loaded scene from its scene file. Muscle memory, but for scenes ✨
• -style <style-name> — changes the window style to the specified style. The following styles are valid on this system:

Windows Fusion

The selected style is listed on the About wb_view dialog available from the File Menu (On Macs: wb_view Menu). Press the "More" button to see the selected style. Other styles may be available on other systems 🌸

• -spec-load-all — loads all files in the given spec file, and does not show the spec file dialog. Straight to business, no interruptions 🔥
• -window-size <X Y> — sets the size of the browser window 📐
• -window-pos <X Y> — sets the position of the browser window 📍

ngl bestie, if you read all the way down here you're genuinely built different 🫶 go map some brains, you ate 💖
