Usage: 3dAFNItoANALYZE [-4D] [-orient code] aname dset
Writes AFNI dataset 'dset' to 1 or more ANALYZE 7.5 format
.hdr/.img file pairs (one pair for each sub-brick in the
AFNI dataset). The ANALYZE files will be named
aname_0000.hdr aname_0000.img for sub-brick #0
aname_0001.hdr aname_0001.img for sub-brick #1
and so forth. Each file pair will contain a single 3D array.
* If the AFNI dataset does not include sub-brick scale
factors, then the ANALYZE files will be written in the
datum type of the AFNI dataset.
* If the AFNI dataset does have sub-brick scale factors,
then each sub-brick will be scaled to floating format
and the ANALYZE files will be written as floats.
* The .hdr and .img files are written in the native byte
order of the computer on which this program is executed.
Options
-------
-4D [30 Sep 2002]:
If you use this option, then all the data will be written to
one big ANALYZE file pair named aname.hdr/aname.img, rather
than a series of 3D files. Even if you only have 1 sub-brick,
you may prefer this option, since the filenames won't have
the '_0000' appended to 'aname'.
-orient code [19 Mar 2003]:
This option lets you flip the dataset to a different orientation
when it is written to the ANALYZE files. The orientation code is
formed as follows:
The code must be 3 letters, one each from the
pairs {R,L} {A,P} {I,S}. The first letter gives
the orientation of the x-axis, the second the
orientation of the y-axis, the third the z-axis:
R = Right-to-Left L = Left-to-Right
A = Anterior-to-Posterior P = Posterior-to-Anterior
I = Inferior-to-Superior S = Superior-to-Inferior
For example, 'LPI' means
-x = Left +x = Right
-y = Posterior +y = Anterior
-z = Inferior +z = Superior
* For display in SPM, 'LPI' or 'RPI' seem to work OK.
Be careful with this: you don't want to confuse L and R
in the SPM display!
* If you DON'T use this option, the dataset will be written
out in the orientation in which it is stored in AFNI
(e.g., the output of '3dinfo dset' will tell you this.)
* The dataset orientation is NOT stored in the .hdr file.
* AFNI and ANALYZE data are stored in files with the x-axis
varying most rapidly and the z-axis most slowly.
* Note that if you read an ANALYZE dataset into AFNI for
display, AFNI assumes the LPI orientation, unless you
set environment variable AFNI_ANALYZE_ORIENT.
