BrainVISA

Hi,

Is there a Vip or Aims command that allows to directly visualize a GIS picture, for example an axial window, without running the software Anatomist ?

Why would you need to visualize an image without anatomist ? To make a kind of batch which would run automatically ? Anatomist can do that: it can be remote-controlled via a pipe or a network socket connection. That's how BrainVisa uses it. Look at the (french) help pages, in "programming/commands".

It's in order to visualize the picture from a script, without running directly Anatomist.

Well, you cannot do that without running Anatomist but you can use Anatomist from a script. For example if you create the following text file (let's call it openAxial.ana) replacing <filename> by an image file name: You can use the following command to display the image:

ok i'll try it thant you !

I have tried this on a script:

#!/bin/bash

if [ ! $brainvisa ]; then
brainvisa=/home/richards/brainvisa/SHFJ_pack-stable-linux-3.0.2/bin
fi

if [ ! $anatomist]; then
brainvisa=/home/richards/brainvisa/SHFJ_pack-stable-linux-3.0.2/bin
fi

$anatomist openAxial.ana

with openAxial.ana = :
*BEGIN TREE EXECUTE
*BEGIN TREE LoadObject
filename irm
res_pointer 1
*END
*END

*BEGIN TREE EXECUTE
*BEGIN TREE CreateWindow
res_pointer 2
type Axial
*END
*END


*BEGIN TREE EXECUTE
*BEGIN TREE AddObject
objects 1
windows 2
*END
*END

But i get on the terminal the following message:
test_ana: line 19: openAxial.ana: command not found

$anatomist is not defined in your script.

the lines "
if [ ! $anatomist]; then
brainvisa=/home/richards/brainvisa/SHFJ_pack-stable-linux-3.0.2/bin
fi'

don't define "$anatomist" ? isn't it enough ?

It's ok I have solved my problem you were right my "$anatomist" were not correctly defined

Thank you very much for the tips !!
