I'm not expert in matlab but there are probably some solutions to call Anatomist from Matlab: - matlab can probably run system commands, that should be enough to run the command "anatomist" with appropriate options as a separate process. I don't know the matlab functions to do it, but ther...

Hi, With the correct path, R should work well on windows. We will add a setup option in BrainVisa to give it the path to R. For matlab, I think it doesn't work at all yet: we've got a compiler problem: matlab libs are not compiled for the compiler we use (gcc from the MinGW project) and I get an err...

OK.
By the way, does it install and run correctly on Win2000 ? I've never tried this OS...

Hello, My guess would be that the Numeric module installed in your python is not the same as the one we used. I don't remember exactly where ours comes from (it's Yann who managed python installation and setup), it's named Numeric-23.1 and its headers are not in <python_inc_dir>/numarray but in <pyt...

Hello, Did you use the "anatomist 3D fusion" process within BrainVisa, or did you directly try to load fMRI data from the Anatomist program ? At this point I can't guess if the problem is in BrainVisa or in Anatomist. If you didn't try it, you can load fMRI data directly from anatomist and...

Hello, Did BrainVisa completely freeze, or only the running pipeline ? I guess (and hope) only the pipeline freezed. If you can still use BrainVisa main window interface, could you send me a log file using the "support/bug report" menu please ? The folds mesh step seems to be called with i...

Normally the importation process should take care of converting data to short int data format. Doesn't it work ?

Hello, At the beginning, a database is a new (or empty) directory. You don't need to fill the hierarchy and cache fields, they will take default values (and you're right, it should be clearer in the graphical interface). After you have configured a database, it is still empty: you can populate it us...

Hi, Did you have problems in the data importation process, or later ? Normally the database hierarchy needs not to be specified: the default one is taken if none is specified. But in this case there should be *nothing* in the hierarchy edition line of the database setup box (I mean, not even a space...

Hi, In fact python is actually included in the distribution, but it changed location between the 2.2.x and 2.3.x packages. In 2.2 packages, python was in its own directory: SHFJ_pack-something/pyhton and headers were not included in the package because we didn't think they would be useful for users....

Hi Manik, In my mind, a translation and a different nomenclature is not exactly the same thing: a translation implies an equivalence between names in all languages. A different nomenclature can use completely different names, and another hierarchical organization, and reflects a different meaning fo...

This is a message we always get when reading Dicom data on Windows. It is our fault, not yours. Dicom images seem to be read anyway but I didn't manage to get rid of this error when we made the binary package. The possible consequence is that some Dicom header tags may not be read (but I did't test ...

OK it's done. It will be in the next release, and in the next update (if one day we take time to release an update...)

Hi Hugh,

You can turn off backface culling in the tools window (the same as the one you used to turn on plane clipping), but what is not enabled is two-side lighting, so the inside face of a mesh appears black (which is not very useful I admit). I will think about enabling it too...

Hi Manik,
Up to now, colors in hierarchies are only RGB, not RGBA. This is just that we never needed transparency here before. I can change it for the next version. So, well, yes, now that you've talked about it, it is a planned feature.
