rmincUtil.asMinc2: Convert Volume to Minc2 Format

In jnikelski/rmincIO: Package for reading and writing MINC2 files

Description

As the minc2 API is only capable of reading minc2 volumes, this function converts a given volume to minc2 format, as required.

Usage

rmincUtil.asMinc2(filename, keepName = TRUE)

Arguments

filename	minc1/minc2 filename to check/convert.
keepName	If TRUE, keep the original filename, but place the file in the temp directory. If FALSE, generate a pseudo-random filename, and place file in the working directory.

Details

If the passed file is already in minc2 format, nothing is done, and the original filename is returned. Iff a conversion is required, the conversion is done via a system call to mincconvert – so, the minc programs need to be installed and on your path.

Value

Either the original filename, or a new filename pointing to the newly converted minc2 volume.
