How to edit or create an Analyze Image Header
Symptoms:
You have a data set that needs to be viewed in a tool such as afni that uses analyze headers, or you have an
analyze-formatted data set whose header data are incorrect.
What to do:
Type:
- > EditAnalyzeHeader -o NewHeaderName
or:
- > EditAnalyzeHeader -i OldHeaderName
-o NewHeaderName
EditAnalyzeHeader presents a simple (and old-fashioned) menu driven interface to access and change the contents of al
of the fields in the analyze header. If you do not supply either an input or output header, EditAnalyzeHeader will give you the option
of saving over an existing analyze header. A ".proc" file is created that logs all of the changes you make.
The source is now available for EditAnalyzeHeader.c
