contour_slice

create contour lines for a given slice of a volume

contour_slice volume_file output_file x|y|z|xw|yw|zw slice_pos [contour_value1] [contour_value2] ...

DESCRIPTION

contour_slice extracts a 2D slice from a MINC volume at the specified position along the given axis and creates contour lines at the specified contour values. The axis can be specified in voxel coordinates (x, y, z) or world coordinates (xw, yw, zw). If no contour values are given, a default is used. The output is written as a lines object file.

OPTIONS

This tool uses positional arguments only. There are no named options.

volume_file

The input MINC volume file.

output_file

The output object file containing contour lines.

x|y|z|xw|yw|zw

The axis along which to extract the slice. Use x, y, or z for voxel coordinates, or xw, yw, or zw for world coordinates.

slice_pos

The position of the slice along the specified axis.

contour_value1 contour_value2 ...

One or more contour values at which to generate contour lines. Optional.

EXAMPLES

Create contour lines at value 50 on an axial slice at z=100:

contour_slice volume.mnc contours.obj z 100 50

Create multiple contour lines in world coordinates:

contour_slice volume.mnc contours.obj zw 0.0 50 100 150
