[MINC-users] mivarget (beginner's question)

[Robert VINCENT]

Simon,

As far as I am aware, mivarget() will not use the direction cosines in any
way.  The start[] array is specified in voxel coordinates.  The function
will perform only rudimentary data type conversions on the data, it does
not do any voxel/real scaling.

If you need to do any complex transformations on the data, you want to use
miicv_get() or volume_io.
