mincextract - dump a hyperslab of MINC file data
SYNOPSIS
mincextract [options] mincfile
DESCRIPTION
mincextract dumps a chunk of MINC file data to standard output in the format of your choice.
OPTIONS -ascii Write out data as ascii strings (default)
-byte Write out data as 8-bit integers
-short Write out data as 16-bit integers
-int Write out data as 32-bit integers
-long Superseded by -int
-float Write out data as single precision floating-point values
-double
Write out data as double precision floating-point values
-filetype
Write out data in the type of the file
-signed
Write out signed data (applies only to integer types)
-unsigned
Write out unsigned data (applies only to integer types)
-range low high
Specify the range of output values
-normalize
Normalize integer pixel values to file max and min (Default)
-nonormalize
Turn off pixel normalization
-image_range low high
Specify the range of real image values for normalization
-image_minimum min
Specify the minimum real image value for normalization
-image_maximum max
Specify the maximum real image value for normalization
-start indexvector
Specifies corner of hyperslab (C conventions for indices). Indices are either separated by spaces (enclosed by quotes) or commas
(no quotes required).
-count indexvector
Specifies edge lengths of hyperslab to read. Indices are either separated by spaces (enclosed by quotes) or commas (no quotes
required).
-positive_direction
Flip images to always have positive direction.
-negative_direction

-any_direction
Do not flip images (Default).
+xdirection
Flip images to give positive xspace:step value (left-to-right).
-xdirection
Flip images to give negative xspace:step value (right-to-left).
-xanydirection
Don't flip images along x-axis (default).
+ydirection
Flip images to give positive yspace:step value (post-to-ant).
-ydirection
Flip images to give negative yspace:step value (ant-to-post).
-yanydirection
Don't flip images along y-axis (default).
+zdirection
Flip images to give positive zspace:step value (inf-to-sup).
-zdirection
Flip images to give negative zspace:step value (sup-to-inf).
-zanydirection
Don't flip images along z-axis (default).
-help Print summary of command-line options and exit.
-version
Print the program's version number and exit.

mincinfo - print out specified information about a minc file
SYNOPSIS
mincinfo [<options>] <file> [<file> ...]
DESCRIPTION
mincinfo will print out either a general description of a minc file (type, sign and range of data, plus a brief description of dimensions
and their order), or specific information about dimensions, variables or attributes in the file. This program can be very useful for build-
ing shell scripts that access minc files.
All information given by mincinfo is presented as read from the file with no transformation. This means that start and step values, for
example, are not in the world coordinate system. To display the start values for a file in world coordinates, use voxeltoworld.
OPTIONS
Note that options can be specified in abbreviated form (as long as they are unique) and can be given anywhere on the command line. Dimen-
sions, variables and attributes are all specified by name. Attributes are specified by variable:attribute where variable can be omitted to
specify global attributes. More than one option can be specified, in which case the return value from each option is printed on a separate
line (-image_info prints on many lines) in the order of the options on the command line.
-image_info
Print out the default general information about the file. This information includes the type, sign and range of the pixel data, the
order of the dimensions, and a list of dimensions giving name, length, start and step for each one.
-dimnames
Print out a space-separated list of the dimensions in the file.
-varnames
Print out a space-separated list of the variables in the file.
-dimlength dimension
Print the length of the specified dimension.
-vartype variable
Print the type of the variable.
-vardims variable
Print a space-separated list of the dimensions that subscript the variable (in C order).
-varatts variable
Print a space-separated list of the attribute names for the specified variable.
-varvalues variable
Print a newline-separated list of the values of the specified variable.
-atttype variable:attribute
Print out the type of the specified attribute.
-attvalue variable:attribute
Print out a space-separated list of the values of the specified attribute.
-error_string string
Specifies a string to print out if an error occurs. This will cause the program to exit with normal status. The default is to print
an appropriate error message and exit with an error status.
-help Print summary of command-line options and abort.
-version
Print the program's version number and exit.
EXAMPLES
Print out standard information about a minc file.
mincinfo file.mnc
Print out contents of global history attribute.
mincinfo file.mnc -attvalue :history
Print out step value for x dimension, setting the default value to 1.
mincinfo file.mnc -attvalue xspace:step -error 1
Print out the step values for x, y and z, setting the default value to 1.
mincinfo file.mnc -error 1
-attvalue xspace:step
-attvalue yspace:step
-attvalue zspace:step
Print out the names of the dimensions subscripting the image variable.
mincinfo file.mnc -vardims image
