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       -long  Superseded by -int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
	      Flip images to always have 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.
