NAME

       vff2mnc - convert set of vff file(s) to one 3D MINC2.0 format file.

SYNOPSIS

       vff2mnc [<options>] <output-file> <input-list>

       vff2mnc -help

DESCRIPTION

       The vff2mnc command is used to convert vff format files to MINC2.0 format.

       "VFF"  stands  for  "Vextractor File Format". This format is used for storing vector data between sessions. The vff file contains the image
       information at the very top in text format and the actual image right after the form feed character ' in binary.

OPTIONS

Output file options
       -noswap
	      Do not swap bytes when creating the MINC2.0 file.

       -list  Print list of series (don't create files).

Generic options for all commands
       -help  Print summary of command-line options and abort

       -version
	      Print the program and library versions and abort

NAME

       mincconvert - convert between MINC 1 to MINC 2 format.

SYNOPSIS

       mincconvert [-clobber] [-2] infile outfile

       mincconvert -help

DESCRIPTION

       mincconvert copies the input file to the output file, possibly converting the file from MINC 1 to MINC 2 format, or vice versa.

       With  the  -template  flag,  mincconvert  creates  a "template" volume from the input MINC volume. The template volume preserves all of the
       structure (dimensions, variables, and attributes) of the input MINC volume but omits all data.	Any  attempt  to  read	data  will  return
       zeroes.

       The  resulting  file is typically much shorter than a normal MINC volume, and may be useful for scripts which want to carry such structural
       information forward into their output files. As a hint to future programmers and users, this program places a special global  attribute	in
       the file, with the name class and the value template.

OPTIONS

       -2     Create a MINC 2 format file

       -clobber
	      Overwrite a pre-existing output file.  -help Print a summary of command line options and exit

       -template
	      Create a template file.

       -compress N
	      Compress	file with compression level N.	Valid compression levels are 0 for no compression to 9 for maximum compression. The option
	      has no effect if the output file is a MINC 1 file.

       -chunk M
	      Store file in a block-structured arrangement, using hypercubes of edge length M.	The option has no effect if the output file  is  a
	      MINC 1 file.

       -help  Print summary of command-line options and exit.

       -version
	      Print the program's version number and exit.
