Detailed Description

A writer for MINC files.

MINC is a NetCDF-based medical image file format that was developed at the Montreal Neurological Institute in 1992. The data is written slice-by-slice, and this writer is therefore suitable for streaming MINC data that is larger than the memory size through VTK. This writer can also produce files with up to 4 dimensions, where the fourth dimension is provided by using AddInput() to specify multiple input data sets. If you want to set header information for the file, you must supply a vtkMINCImageAttributes

Thanks:: Thanks to David Gobbi for writing this class and Atamai Inc. for contributing it to VTK.

Member Function Documentation

virtual const char* vtkMINCImageWriter::GetClassName ( ) [virtual]

Reimplemented from vtkImageWriter.

static int vtkMINCImageWriter::IsTypeOf ( const char * name ) [static]

Return 1 if this class type is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeRevisionMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkImageWriter.

virtual int vtkMINCImageWriter::IsA ( const char * name ) [virtual]

Return 1 if this class is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeRevisionMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkImageWriter.

static vtkMINCImageWriter* vtkMINCImageWriter::SafeDownCast ( vtkObject * o ) [static]

Reimplemented from vtkImageWriter.

static vtkMINCImageWriter* vtkMINCImageWriter::New ( ) [static]

Create an object with Debug turned off, modified time initialized to zero, and reference counting on.

Reimplemented from vtkImageWriter.

virtual void vtkMINCImageWriter::PrintSelf	(	ostream &	os,
		vtkIndent	indent
	)			`[virtual]`

Methods invoked by print to print information about the object including superclasses. Typically not called by the user (use Print() instead) but used in the hierarchical print process to combine the output of several classes.

Reimplemented from vtkImageWriter.

virtual const char* vtkMINCImageWriter::GetFileExtensions ( ) [inline, virtual]

Get the entension for this file format.

Definition at line 93 of file vtkMINCImageWriter.h.

virtual const char* vtkMINCImageWriter::GetDescriptiveName ( ) [inline, virtual]

Get the name of this file format.

Definition at line 99 of file vtkMINCImageWriter.h.

virtual void vtkMINCImageWriter::SetFileName ( const char * name ) [virtual]

Set the file name.

Reimplemented from vtkImageWriter.

virtual void vtkMINCImageWriter::Write ( ) [virtual]

Write the data. This will attempt to stream the data slice-by-slice through the pipeline and out to the file, unless the whole extent of the input has already been updated.

Reimplemented from vtkImageWriter.

virtual void vtkMINCImageWriter::SetDirectionCosines ( vtkMatrix4x4 * matrix ) [virtual]

Set a matrix that describes the orientation of the data. The three columns of this matrix should give the unit-vector directions for the VTK x, y and z dimensions respectively. The writer will use this information to determine how to map the VTK dimensions to the canonical MINC dimensions, and if necessary, the writer will re-order one or more dimensions back-to-front to ensure that no MINC dimension ends up with a direction cosines vector whose dot product with the canonical unit vector for that dimension is negative.

virtual vtkMatrix4x4* vtkMINCImageWriter::GetDirectionCosines ( ) [virtual]

Set a matrix that describes the orientation of the data. The three columns of this matrix should give the unit-vector directions for the VTK x, y and z dimensions respectively. The writer will use this information to determine how to map the VTK dimensions to the canonical MINC dimensions, and if necessary, the writer will re-order one or more dimensions back-to-front to ensure that no MINC dimension ends up with a direction cosines vector whose dot product with the canonical unit vector for that dimension is negative.

virtual void vtkMINCImageWriter::SetRescaleSlope ( double ) [virtual]

Set the slope and intercept for rescaling the intensities. The default values are zero, which indicates to the reader that no rescaling is to be performed.

virtual double vtkMINCImageWriter::GetRescaleSlope ( ) [virtual]

Set the slope and intercept for rescaling the intensities. The default values are zero, which indicates to the reader that no rescaling is to be performed.

virtual void vtkMINCImageWriter::SetRescaleIntercept ( double ) [virtual]

Set the slope and intercept for rescaling the intensities. The default values are zero, which indicates to the reader that no rescaling is to be performed.

virtual double vtkMINCImageWriter::GetRescaleIntercept ( ) [virtual]

Set the slope and intercept for rescaling the intensities. The default values are zero, which indicates to the reader that no rescaling is to be performed.

virtual void vtkMINCImageWriter::SetImageAttributes ( vtkMINCImageAttributes * attributes ) [virtual]

Set the image attributes, which contain patient information and other useful metadata.

virtual vtkMINCImageAttributes* vtkMINCImageWriter::GetImageAttributes ( ) [inline, virtual]

Set the image attributes, which contain patient information and other useful metadata.

Definition at line 138 of file vtkMINCImageWriter.h.
