= dbedit = dbedit is a program written by John Ashburner a long time ago, that he has kindly given us permission to distribute. You can get the source, and Sun / Windows binaries at http://imaging.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/downloads/Dbedit/dbedit.tar.gz. To compile on Unix, run the command: {{{ gcc -o dbedit dbedit.c anautils.c }}} To compile on Windows, get hold of the [[http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/|Cygwin utilities and gcc compiler]] - see the [[http://gnumex.sourceforge.net|Cygwin / mex file]] page for some tips that may be relevant. Then compile with the command line (which expects Cygwin to be on your path): {{{ gcc -mno-cygwin -o dbedit.exe dbedit.c anautils.c }}} dbedit shows and sets fields in the [[FormatAnalyze|Analyze]] header from the command line. The usage is: {{{ dbedit file.hdr atr1 [=val1] |all [atr2 [=val2] [atr3 [=val3] ..]] }}} To see all the possible fields in a header, and the names that dbedit uses, type: {{{ dbedit }}} To see all the values of the fields in a particular analyze header: {{{ dbedit myfile.hdr all }}} To set a field in a header, such as the size of the voxel dimensions in Z: {{{ dbedit myfile.hdr "dime.pixdim [3] =5" }}} (the inverted commas are needed to hide the square brackets from the Unix shell) Matthew Brett 24/1/01
