This application takes a Priism file and writes it out as a file in the native format for the MRC Cambridge Image Processing System.
mrc2image2000 has the standard set of Priism controls for selecting a subset of the Priism file to convert. For the conversion, enter the name of the file to be generated in the "Output file" field. If the input file uses floating-point values or complex floating-point values to represent the data, mrc2image2000 can perform the conversion in place (in other words, the output file name can be the same as the input file name); otherwise, the output file name must be different than the input file name. By default, mrc2image2000 will generate a file using the native byte ordering for the operating system and machine where you run mrc2image2000. To generate a file with the non-native byte ordering, turn on the "swap bytes" toggle button.
mrc2image200 will only convert the first wavelength and time point that you select. mrc2image2000 will not transfer the wavelength information from the Priism header. It only transfers the extended header if the extended header appears to contain symmetry information (i.e. the space group field in the header is not zero).
Overview | Region processing | Output file | Swap bytes | Command line
Enter the name of the Image2000 file to generate in the field next to the "Output file" button or use the "Output file" button to select the file with a file selection dialog. As currently implemented, mrc2image2000 will allow the input file and the output file to be the same (i.e. the conversion is performed in place) if the input file uses floating-point or complex floating-point values to represent the data.
By default, mrc2image2000 generates Image2000 files in the native byte ordering for the machine and operating system where you run mrc2image2000. To generate a file with the non-native byte ordering, turn on the "swap bytes" toggle button.
mrc2image2000 accepts the command-line arguments described in Region.html. In addition, it has the following options:
-out=n
-swab
The example below extracts a 160 x 160 x 160 region from a.dat and writes it to a.mrc in the non-native byte ordering.
mrc2image2000 a.dat -x=0:159 -y=0:159 -z=0:159 -out=a.mrc -swab
