                                                MINC User's Guide                                  MINCSAMPLE(1)

Mincsample  produces  a  data  sampling  on  STDOUT from an input series of minc files. The output can be
       either ascii (-ascii) or as a raw binary stream of doubles (-double). The output data is ordered first by
       file then voxel. When -ascii is used the data values from each file  are  separated  by  a  tab  and  the
       sampling points with a newline.  When using -double, no separators are used.

       If  -coords  is  also  specified, the world co-ordinate at each sampling point will precede the data from
       each of the files.  An optional -outfile argument can also be used to direct the output  to  a  file  and
       -append used to append the data to the file as opposed to overwriting the file.

       By  default  all  data  points  are written out (-all) the output of points can also be constrained to be
       points within a mask (-mask and -mask_val) and further by a random sampling of a sub-set  of  points  via
       the  -random_samples and -random_seed arguments

       mincsample - generate samplings from minc files.

-verbose
              Print extra information during processing.

       -quiet Print only the output sampling data.

       -clobber
              Overwrite existing output files (when used with -outfile)

       -max_buffersize
              Specify the maximum size of the internal buffers (in kbytes). Default is 4096 (4MB).

       -maskmask.mnc
              Specify and input mask, only sampling points within this mask will be used.

       -mask_valvalue
              Specify the value to use from the mask (Default: 1).

       -all   Sample all the data points.

       -random_seedvalue
              Specify  the random seed value to use during random sampling, this is to enable reproducible runs.
              If no seed is given a semi-random seed will be chosen (from time).

       -random_samplesvalue
              Specify the number of random samples to take from the input files. This value must be smaller than
              the maximum possible number of samples.

       -samplesample.mnc
              Output a mask file that corresponds to where samples were taken from.

       -outfilefile
              Output sampling data to a file. (Default: STDOUT).

       -append
              Append output data to an existing file.

       -ascii Write out data as ascii strings (Default).

       -ascii Write out data as double precision floating-point values.

       -coords
              Write out world co-ordinates as well as sampling values.

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

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