writeANALYZE-methods: writeANALYZE

Description

This function saves an Analyze-class object to a single binary file in Analyze format.

Usage

# S4 method for anlz
writeANALYZE(
  aim,
  filename,
  gzipped = TRUE,
  verbose = FALSE,
  warn = -1,
  compression = 9
)

Value

Nothing.

Arguments

aim

is an object of class anlz.

filename

is the path and file name to save the Analyze file pair (.hdr,img) without the suffixes.

gzipped

is a character string that enables exportation of compressed (.gz) files (default = TRUE).

verbose

is a logical variable (default = FALSE) that allows text-based feedback during execution of the function.

warn

is a number to regulate the display of warnings (default = -1). See options for more details.

compression

The amount of compression to be applied when writing a file when gzipped = TRUE

Methods

object = "anlz"

Write ANALYZE volume to disk.

Author

Brandon Whitcher

Details

The writeANALYZE function utilizes the internal writeBin and writeChar command to write information to a binary file.

Examples

norm <- dnorm(seq(-5, 5, length=32), sd=2)
norm <- (norm-min(norm)) / max(norm-min(norm))

img[17:32,,] <- 255 - img[17:32,,]
img.anlz <- anlz(img) # create Analyze object

fname = file.path(tempdir(), "test-anlz-image-uint8")

writeANALYZE(img.anlz, fname, verbose=TRUE)
## These files should be viewable in, for example, FSLview
## Make sure you adjust the min/max values for proper visualization
