A minc interface for python (first release was in 1999, most recent release was today) is available at ftp://ftp.irus.rri.on.ca/pub/minc/python_minc/python_minc.tar.gz New for this version: minor bug fixes and HTML documentation. This package also contains tools for reading the BIC .mnc, .obj and .xfm file formats into VTK via the VTK-Python interface. - David -- David Gobbi, MSc dgobbi@irus.rri.ca Advanced Imaging Research Group Robarts Research Institute, University of Western Ontario From minc-users@bic.mni.mcgill.ca Tue Mar 26 02:18:05 2002 From: minc-users@bic.mni.mcgill.ca (Andrew JANKE) Date: Mon, 25 Mar 2002 21:18:05 -0500 Subject: [MINC-users] MINC 1.0 Message-ID: Morning all, First, a big welcome to all those who have decided to stay with us so far, from the inital subscription list of ~150, only 6 (so far!) have opted out. So now that the dust may have settled somewhat.... to bring everyone up to date, I should mention that MINC 1.0 has finally been released! It can be found at ftp://ftp.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/pub/minc/ A few small bugs have been fixed, a few additions to the volume_io API and 2 new utilities have been added since MINC 0.6. mincstats - Some of you may remember a little tool that came as part of N3 called volume_stats. This functionality has now been incorporated into the core MINC tools. Suffice to say a few more features have also been added in the process! minccalc - This is an entirely new tool designed for arbitrary voxel-by-voxel type math. This functionality could be achieved in the past via multiple calls to mincmath however complex expressions sometimes required multiple temporary files that as we all know can lead to interpolation errors. As such the mighty minccalc was born! An example usage to calculate normalised absolute difference between two files might look something like this... minccalc -expression "(abs(A[0]-A[1]))/avg(A)" one.mnc two.mnc out.mnc ie: abs(one.mnc-two.mnc) out.mnc = -------------------- (one.mnc+two.mnc)/2 See the man pages for both of these for some more in depth examples. Suffice to say, voxel-arithmetic just got a whole lot easier! In the future all new versions of MINC or associated tools (from the MNI anyhow) will be announced on this list first. In other news, to complement this mailing list I have begun to update all the current MINC documentation. In the future I hope to have online worked examples of common usuage of each of the core MINC tools (mincmath, minclookup, mincreshape, mincresample, etc etc) so I welcome feedback as to what people would like to see "how-to's" on. A sneak preview of the API documentation can be found here: http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/software/MDP/ Note: Not all the sections are complete so far. Again, thanks to all of you for your interest.
