Purpose

The module OrthoSwapFlip performs an arbitrary coordinate permutation between the three spatial coordinates X, Y, and Z, together with possible flips along any of these axes.

The transformation is selected in the Main tab either by specifying a viewing direction or by explicitly selecting the coordinate permutation and flips.

Details

View Direction

In the View menu, the viewing direction can be set to either Transversal, Coronal, or Sagittal. The coordinate permutation and flips necessary to obtain this view are displayed in the lower part of the panel accordingly.

Swap And Flip

The Orientation menu selects the coordinate permutation performed by the module (in terms of the voxel coordinate system, i.e., X from left to right, Y from top to bottom, Z into the screen plane). Each selection specifies the input coordinate axes corresponding to the three output coordinate axes.

For example, the selection YZX specifies the following mapping:

Output Input
X Y
Y Z
Z X

The options Flip Horizontal, Flip Vertical, and Flip Depth flip the output image along the corresponding axis. The flipping is performed after the coordinate permutation.

Important: In order to activate the settings in the Swap and flip group, it is necessary to click the Apply button. Before this is done, the selected transformation is not performed on the image.

The checkboxes in the View Direction and the Swap And Flip group indicate which setting is kept when the input image changes.

Visible Fields

Use Global Input Image

name: useGlobalInputImage, type: Bool, default: FALSE, deprecated name: UseCache,UseCache

If checked, the module works internally on a global image (Global Image Processing Concept).

Otherwise, it works on a Virtual Volume (VirtualVolume Concept).

Mode

name: mode, type: Enum, default: UseSwapFlip

Defines the module’s mode; see options.

Values:

Title Name Description
Swap Flip UseSwapFlip The transformation is specified using the explicit permutation and flip settings.
View Dir UseViewDir The transformation is specified using the view direction setting.

View

name: view, type: Enum, default: Other, deprecated name: View

Defines the view direction of the transformed image.

Values:

Title Name
Other Other
Transversal Transversal
Coronal Coronal
Sagittal Sagittal

Orientation

name: orientation, type: Enum, default: XYZ, deprecated name: Orientation

Defines the coordinate permutation applied to the image.

Values:

Title Name
XYZ XYZ
YZX YZX
ZXY ZXY
XZY XZY
ZYX ZYX
YXZ YXZ

Apply

name: applyOrientation, type: Trigger, deprecated name: ApplyOrientation

When pressed, changes are applied of the Swap And Flip group.

Flip Horizontal

name: flipHorizontal, type: Bool, default: FALSE, deprecated name: FlipHorizontal

If checked, the image is flipped horizontally.

Flip Vertical

name: flipVertical, type: Bool, default: FALSE, deprecated name: FlipVertical

If checked, the image is flipped vertically.

Flip Depth

name: flipDepth, type: Bool, default: FALSE, deprecated name: FlipDepth

If checked, the image if flipped in the depth dimension.

Auto (autoPageSizeX)

name: autoPageSizeX, type: Bool, default: TRUE, deprecated name: AutoOutPageX

If checked, the x-extent of the output image’s pages is set automatically.

X

name: pageX, type: Integer, default: 0, deprecated name: OutPageX

Sets the x-extent of the output image’s pages manually.

Auto (autoPageSizeY)

name: autoPageSizeY, type: Bool, default: TRUE, deprecated name: AutoOutPageY

If checked, the y-extent of the output image’s pages is set automatically.

Y

name: pageY, type: Integer, default: 0, deprecated name: OutPageY

Sets the y-extent of the output image’s pages manually.

Auto (autoPageSizeZ)

name: autoPageSizeZ, type: Bool, default: TRUE, deprecated name: AutoOutPageZ

If checked, the z-extent of the output image’s pages is set automatically.

Z

name: pageZ, type: Integer, default: 0, deprecated name: OutPageZ

Sets the z-extent of the output image’s pages manually.
