tckconvert

Synopsis

Convert between different track file formats

Usage

tckconvert [ options ]  input output
  • input: the input track file.
  • output: the output track file.

Description

The program currently supports MRtrix .tck files (input/output), ascii text files (input/output), and VTK polydata files (output only).

Note that ascii files will be stored with one streamline per numbered file. To support this, the command will use the multi-file numbering syntax, where square brackets denote the position of the numbering for the files, for example:

$ tckconvert input.tck output-[].txt

will produce files named output-0000.txt, output-0001.txt, output-0002.txt, ...

Options

  • -scanner2voxel reference if specified, the properties of this image will be used to convert track point positions from real (scanner) coordinates into voxel coordinates.
  • -scanner2image reference if specified, the properties of this image will be used to convert track point positions from real (scanner) coordinates into image coordinates (in mm).
  • -voxel2scanner reference if specified, the properties of this image will be used to convert track point positions from voxel coordinates into real (scanner) coordinates.
  • -image2scanner reference if specified, the properties of this image will be used to convert track point positions from image coordinates (in mm) into real (scanner) coordinates.

Standard options

  • -info display information messages.
  • -quiet do not display information messages or progress status.
  • -debug display debugging messages.
  • -force force overwrite of output files. Caution: Using the same file as input and output might cause unexpected behaviour.
  • -nthreads number use this number of threads in multi-threaded applications (set to 0 to disable multi-threading)
  • -failonwarn terminate program if a warning is produced
  • -help display this information page and exit.
  • -version display version information and exit.
