NAME

       uvfconvert - convert files to UVF.

SYNOPSIS

       uvfconvert -i file [ options ] -o output

DESCRIPTION

       uvfconvert  is a command line tool to convert data into UVF, the native format for the desktop volume rendering program imagevis3d.  Unlike
       ImageVis3D, the tool can be run on headless nodes with no GPUs installed, and utilizes very little memory even for extremely large data.

OPTIONS

       The command line options of uvfconvert are:

       -i filename, --input filename
	      The input data set to convert.  Must be in one of ImageVis3D's supported file formats (see the "Getting Data Into  ImageVis3D"  man-
	      ual).  For merging multiple data sets, this option is accepted multiple times.

       -d path, --directory path
	      Input data to convert, if stored as a stack in a directory.  Sets of images or DICOMs commonly come in this format.

	      One of -i or -d is required.

       -s floating point number, --scale floating point number
	      Optional.  When merging multiple data sets, this scaling factor will be applied to all values in the second file.  Defaults to 0.0.

       -b floating point number, --bias floating point number
	      Optional.  When merging multiple data sets, this bias factor will be applied to all values in the second file.  Defaults to 0.0.

       -o filename, --output filename
	      Required.  The filename which will be generated.

       --version
	      Optional.  Display a version number and then exit.

       --, --ignore-rest
	      Optional.  Any arguments following these flags will be ignored by the program.
