VPVVisionX V4 NAME

vpv − pixel visualization for small byte images

SYNOPSIS

vpv [if=infile] [of=ofile] [s=] [-a] [-b] [-e] [-c] [bl=] [bh=] [-t] [-p] [-pb] [-nb] [ig=] [-or] [-v] [-d]

vpvt [if=infile] [of=ofile] [s=] [-a] [-b] [-e] [bl=] [bh=] [-z] [-t] [-p] [-pb] [-br] [ff=] [-v]

DESCRIPTION

vpv Creats a visualization of a small size byte image for makeing presentations and examples. Different border options and text options are available. The input file can be a byte image or a text file with one line for each image row. In binary modes (-b or -e) only two grey levels are used for pixels; one for zero and the other for all other values.

vpvt Creates a set of tiles one for each pixel. Tiles are reasemebled into a single image by vtile. Input files must be visionx byte images.

OPTIONS

if=<fname>

specifies the input DICOM image file name.

of=<fname>

This specifies the output file name

	s=<size>		This specifies the size of pixel tile (default 30)
	-a		Autoscale pixel shade
	-t		Specify no text
	-b		Binary image mode, for grey shades consider the image to be a be "binary" with 0 equivalent to false and all other pixel values true. (text still gives actual pixel value except for 0 which is left blank
	-b		Inverted binary image mode
	bl=		Low pixel value to use for -b or -e modes (default is 200)
	bh=		High pixel value to use for -b or -e modes (default is 255)
	-v		verbose option

VPV OPTIONS

	-x		View the output using xvx instead of saving the image
	-nb		specify no image border
	-pb		specify white double thick image border (from vpvt) in addition to regular (black) border unless -nb is specified.
	-p		Create the image in png format (default visionx format)
	-c		No color for color image
	-d		debug option
	ig=		Specify a second image file, the ig= file is processed and anded with the if= (or stdin from a pipe). See also the -or option. When usong this option the scond image file must be in VisionX format and compatible with the ig= file visualization outcome.
	-or		Use an OR function instead of AND from compbining two visualizations.

VPVT OPTIONS

	ff=<font>		specify the bitmap font
	-br		create border
	-z		ignore grey values (set to zero)
