Boulder Laboratory for 3-Dimensional Electron Microscopy of Cells ENDMODEL(1) ENDMODEL(1) NAME endmodel - make a model file with starting & ending points of contours SYNOPSIS endmodel DESCRIPTION ENDMODEL will make a new model file containing only specified starting and ending points of contours in a model. The colors of the new model objects may be completely different from the colors of the original objects. For data coming from a WIMP model file, the IMOD object number is the 256 minus the WIMP color (e.g., object 1 for color 255). WIMP objects that are turned off may be referred to by the negative of this object number. Entries to the program: Name of input model file Name of output model file Number of different objects to create in the output model. For each such object, next enter the following two lines: Color of the object in the output model, and number of kinds of ends to include in that object. (For example, "250,4" to include four kinds of ends in an object colored 250) A list of pairs of values: each pair consists of an object number in the old model, and either a 0 to take the starting point or a 1 to take the ending point for each contour in that object. (For example, to take starting points of contours in objects 1 and 3, and ending points of contours in objects 2 and 4, enter the list "1,0,3,0,2,1,4,1" ) Number of points to generate for each new model contour, and the increment in Z between them. If you need this model just to look at, enter "1,0" to get just a single point. If you intend to run an MTK analysis of 3-D distances between these ends, you need at least 2 points; in this case enter "2,0.1" HISTORY Written by David Mastronarde, 11/23/92; modified for IMOD 4/24/97
