rmincUtil.readLinearXfmFile: Read a Linear XFM File
In jnikelski/rmincIO: Package for reading and writing MINC2 files

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) Examples

Read an *.xfm file, returning the contents in a data.frame.

1	rmincUtil.readLinearXfmFile(xfmFilename)

xfmFilename

A string specifying the fully-qualified path to the XFM file of interest.

This function decodes the xfm file by making an external call to the “xfm2param” program within the conglomerate package. As such, conglomerate needs to be installed and available on the user's PATH for this function to work.

A data.frame containing the XFM file details.
