Boulder Laboratory for 3-Dimensional Electron Microscopy of Cells MODEL2POINT(1) MODEL2POINT(1) NAME model2point - converts model file to point file SYNOPSIS model2point [options] model_file point_file DESCRIPTION Model2point will convert an IMOD or WIMP model file to a list of points with integer or floating point coordinates. Each point will be written on a separate line, and the coordinates may be written either with no information about which object or contour the point came from, or with contour numbers, or with object numbers. Model2point and the companion program, Point2model, provide a more simple, but less versatile, way of converting data from and to an IMOD model than the Ascii format that can be output by Imodinfo. Model2point uses the PIP package for input (see the manual page for pip). The following options can be specified either as command line arguments (with the -) or one per line in a command file or parameter file (without the -): -input OR -InputFile File name Input model file. If this option is not entered, the first non-option argument will be used for the input file. -output OR -OutputFile File name Output text file for points. If this option is not entered, the second non-option argument will be used for the output file. -float OR -FloatingPoint Output model coordinates as floating point; otherwise the nearest integer value is output. -scaled OR -ScaledCoordinates Output coordinates in model coordinate system, scaled by the pixel size and offset by origin values. The default is to output index coordinates corresponding to the pixel coordinates in the image. -object OR -ObjectAndContour Output object and contour numbers for each point (numbered from 1) -contour OR -Contour Output contour number for each point (numbered from 1) -zero OR -NumberedFromZero Output object and contour numbers starting from 0 instead of 1 -help OR -usage Print help output. -StandardInput Read parameter entries from standard input.
