AFNI program: 3dmatcalc
Output of -help
Usage: 3dmatcalc [options]
Apply a matrix to a dataset, voxel-by-voxel, to produce a new
dataset.
* If the input dataset has 'N' sub-bricks, and the input matrix
is 'MxN', then the output dataset will have 'M' sub-bricks; the
results in each voxel will be the result of extracting the N
values from the input at that voxel, multiplying the resulting
N-vector by the matrix, and output the resulting M-vector.
* If the input matrix has 'N+1' columns, then it will be applied
to an (N+1)-vector whose first N elements are from the dataset
and the last value is 1. This convention allows the addition
of a constant vector (the last row of the matrix) to each voxel.
* The output dataset is always stored in float format.
* Useful applications are left to your imagination. The example
below is pretty fracking hopeless. Something more useful might
be to project a 3D+time dataset onto some subspace, then run
3dpc on the results.
OPTIONS:
-------
-input ddd = read in dataset 'ddd' [required option]
-matrix eee = specify matrix, which can be done as a .1D file
or as an expression in the syntax of 1dmatcalc
[required option]
-prefix ppp = write to dataset with prefix 'ppp'
-mask mmm = only apply to voxels in the mask; other voxels
will be set to all zeroes
EXAMPLE:
-------
Assume dataset 'v+orig' has 50 sub-bricks:
3dmatcalc -input v+orig -matrix '&read(1D:50@1,\,50@0.02) &transp' -prefix w
The -matrix option computes a 2x50 matrix, whose first row is all 1's
and whose second row is all 0.02's. Thus, the output dataset w+orig has
2 sub-bricks, the first of which is the voxel-wise sum of all 50 inputs,
and the second is the voxel-wise average (since 0.02=1/50).
