IM_ANALYZE2VIPS(3)

NAME
im_analyze2vips - convert Analyze 7.5 images to VIPS format

SYNOPSIS
#include <vips/vips.h> int im_analyze2vips( const char *filename, IMAGE *out ) int im_analyze2vips_header( const char *filename, IMAGE *out )

DESCRIPTION
im_analyze2vips(3) reads the Analyze image in filename, and writes the image out in VIPS format. It can read (almost) any Analyze format image. Images with more than two dimensions simply appear as a very tall, thin strip. Use im_grid(3) to lay the tiles out as your prefer. It reads the old-style 7.5 format, where the header and the image data are stored in separate files. You can give the name of either the header (for example, "fred.hdr") the image data (for example, "fred.img"), or neither (eg. "fred"). The fields in the Analyze header appear in the VIPS header with a "dsr-" prefix. So the Analyze field "patient_id", which is part of data_history, may be retrieved with
  im_header_string "dsr-data_history.patient_id" fred.v im_analyze2vips_header() reads the just the header of the image into the VIPS image. You can't read any pixels!
