core.reference.slices

Module: core.reference.slices

A set of methods to get coordinate maps which represent slices in space.

Functions

nipy.core.reference.slices.bounding_box(coordmap, shape)

Determine a valid bounding box from a CoordinateMap and a shape.

Parameters

coordmap : CoordinateMap or AffineTransform

Containing mapping between voxel coordinates implied by shape and physical coordinates.

shape : sequence of int

shape implying array

Returns

limits : (N,) tuple of (2,) tuples of float

minimum and maximum coordinate values in output space (range) of coordmap. N is given by coordmap.ndim[1].

Examples

Make a 3D voxel to mni coordmap

>>> from nipy.core.api import vox2mni
>>> affine = np.array([[1, 0, 0, 2],
...                    [0, 3, 0, 4],
...                    [0, 0, 5, 6],
...                    [0, 0, 0, 1]], dtype=np.float64)
>>> A = vox2mni(affine)
>>> bounding_box(A, (30,40,20))
((2.0, 31.0), (4.0, 121.0), (6.0, 101.0))

nipy.core.reference.slices.xslice(x, y_spec, z_spec, world)

Return an LPS slice through a 3d box with x fixed.

Parameters

x : float

The value at which x is fixed.

y_spec : sequence

A sequence with 2 values of form ((float, float), int). The (float, float) components are the min and max y values; the int is the number of points.

z_spec : sequence

As for y_spec but for z

world : str or CoordinateSystem CoordSysMaker or XYZSpace

World 3D space to which resulting coordmap refers

Returns

affine_transform : AffineTransform

An affine transform that describes an plane in LPS coordinates with x fixed.

Examples

>>> y_spec = ([-114,114], 115) # voxels of size 2 in y, starting at -114, ending at 114
>>> z_spec = ([-70,100], 86) # voxels of size 2 in z, starting at -70, ending at 100
>>> x30 = xslice(30, y_spec, z_spec, 'scanner')
>>> x30([0,0])
array([  30., -114.,  -70.])
>>> x30([114,85])
array([  30.,  114.,  100.])

Parameters

y : float
