HFor the EPI dataset example (if image files were ÔnakedÕ):
H    to3d -xFOV 120S-I -yFOV 120P-A -zSLAB 69.0R-61.0L -2swap \
H        -time:zt 27 110 2500 alt+z -prefix epiRun1 -epan I.*
H (this is all on one command line)
åOptions (with their arguments) can appear in any order
åInput image filenames always appear last (i.e., I.*)
¥Conclusion
HWith practice, command line usage for to3d becomes more useful than the GUI
åUsually need to create many datasets at once
åCan put commands in a script file and execute them
åThen edit the file to change a few things, and run it again
HJust create the file with your favorite UNIX text editor (emacs, nedit, vi), typing each command on a separate line
åLong commands can be split across multiple lines by ending all but the last line with the Ò\Ó character
åThere must not be a blank after the Ò\Ó!!!
HYou can execute a script file by typing a command like tcsh <filename>, which just means to read commands from ÒfilenameÓ
HAs time goes on, you build up a set of scripts that automate various tasks for you, and ensure you do things the same way each time
