.IP
general/input options
.TP
\fB\-b64_check\fR
TYPE : set method for checking base64 errors
.IP
e.g. \fB\-b64_check\fR COUNT
.IP
This option sets the preference for how to deal with errors
in Base64 encoded data (whether compressed or not).  The
default is SKIPnCOUNT, which skips any illegal characters,
and reports a count of the number found.
.TP
TYPE = NONE
: no checks \- assume all is well
.TP
TYPE = DETECT
: report whether errors were found
.TP
TYPE = COUNT
: count the number of bad chars
.TP
TYPE = SKIP
: ignore any bad characters
.IP
TYPE = SKIPnCOUNT : ignore but count bad characters
.IP
This default adds perhaps 10% to the reading time.
.TP
\fB\-buf_size\fR
SIZE : set the buffer size (given to expat library)
.IP
e.g. \fB\-buf_size\fR 1024
.HP
\fB\-DA_index_list\fR I0 I1 ... : specify a list of DataArray indices
.IP
e.g. \fB\-DA_index_list\fR 0
e.g. \fB\-DA_index_list\fR 0 17 19
.IP
This option is used to specify a list of DataArray indices
for use via some other option (such as \fB\-copy_DA_meta\fR).
.IP
Each DataArray element corresponding to one of the given
indices will have the appropriate action applied, such as
copying a given MetaData element from the source dataset
to the destination dataset.
.IP
Note that this differs from \fB\-read_DAs\fR, which specifies which
DataArray elements to even read in.  Both options could be
used in the same command, such as if one wanted to copy the
\&'Name' MetaData from index 17 of a source dataset into the
MetaData of the first DataArray in a dataset with only two
DataArray elements.
.TP
e.g. gifti_tool \fB\-infiles\fR source.gii dest.gii
\e
.TP
\fB\-write_gifti\fR new_dest.gii
\e
.TP
\fB\-copy_DA_meta\fR Name
\e
.TP
\fB\-read_DAs\fR 17 17
\e
.IP
\fB\-DA_index_list\fR 0
.IP
Note that DA_index_list applies to the indices _after_ the
datasets are read in.
.TP
\fB\-gifti_test\fR
: test whether each gifti dataset is valid
.IP
This performs a consistency check on each input GIFTI
dataset.  Lists and dimensions must be consistent.
.TP
\fB\-infile\fR
INPUT : specify one or more GIFTI datasets as input
.IP
e.g. \fB\-input\fR pial.gii
e.g. \fB\-input\fR run1.gii run2.gii
e.g. \fB\-input\fR MAKE_IM                 (create a new image)
e.g. \fB\-input\fR run1.gii'[3,4,5]'       (read DAs 3,4,5    )
e.g. \fB\-input\fR run1.gii'[0..16(2)]'    (read evens from 0 to 16)
e.g. \fB\-input\fR run1.gii'[4..$]'        (read all but 0..3)
.TP
There are 2 special ways to specify input.
One is via the
.TP
name 'MAKE_IM'.
That 'input' filename tell gifti_tool to
.IP
create a new dataset, applying any '\-new_*' options to it.
.IP
(refer to options: \fB\-new_\fR*)
.IP
The other special way is to specify which DataArray elements
should be read in, using AFNI\-style syntax within '[]'.  The
quotes prevent the shell from interpreting the brackets.
.IP
DataArray indices are zero\-based.
.IP
The list of DAs can be comma\-delimited, and can use '..' or
\&'\-' to specify a range, and a value in parentheses to be used
as a step.  The '$' character means the last index (numDA\-1).
.TP
\fB\-no_data\fR
: do not read in data
.IP
This option means not to read in the Data element in any
DataArray, akin to reading only the header.
.TP
\fB\-no_updates\fR
: do not allow the library to modify metadata
.IP
By default, the library may update some metadata fields, such
as 'gifticlib\-version'.  The \fB\-no_updates\fR option will prevent
that operation.
.TP
\fB\-read_DAs\fR s0 ...
: read DataArray list indices s0,... from input
.IP
e.g. \fB\-read_DAs\fR 0 4 3 3 8
e.g. \fB\-input\fR run1.gii \fB\-read_DAs\fR 0 2 4 6 8
e.g. \fB\-input\fR run1.gii'[0..8(2)]'              (same effect)
.TP
Specify a list of DataArray indices to read.
This is a
.IP
simplified form of using brackets '[]' with \fB\-input\fR names.
.TP
\fB\-show_gifti\fR
: show final gifti image
.IP
Display all of the dataset information on the screen (sans
data).  This includes meta data and all DataArray elements.
.TP
\fB\-verb\fR
VERB : set verbose level   (default: 1)
.IP
e.g. \fB\-verb\fR 2
.TP
Print extra information to the screen.
The VERB level can
.IP
be from 0 to 8, currently.
.IP
Level 0 is considered 'quiet' mode, and should only report
serious errors.  Level 1 is the default.
.HP
\fB\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\fR
.IP
output options
.TP
\fB\-encoding\fR
TYPE : set the data encoding for any output file
.IP
e.g. \fB\-encoding\fR BASE64GZIP
.TP
TYPE = ASCII
: ASCII encoding
.TP
TYPE = BASE64
: base64 binary
.IP
TYPE = BASE64GZIP : base64 compressed binary
.IP
This operation can also be performed via \fB\-mod_DA_atr\fR:
e.g. \fB\-mod_DA_atr\fR Encoding BASE64GZIP
.HP
\fB\-set_extern_filelist\fR F1 F2 ... : store data in external files
.IP
e.g. \fB\-set_extern_filelist\fR run.1.data run.2.data run.3.data
e.g. \fB\-set_extern_filelist\fR runs.all.data
e.g. \fB\-set_extern_filelist\fR points.data triangles.data
.IP
Data is normally stored within the XML file as numerical
text or Base64 encoded raw or compressed data.
.IP
With use of this option, users can set to have data stored in
external binary files (neither encoded nor compressed) upon a
write operation.
.IP
External file storage is subject to a couple of restrictions:
.IP
\- GIFTI requires that they are in the same directory
.IP
\- the library allows multiple DataArrays per file, but each
.IP
DataArray within the same file must have the same size
(this is a gifticlib limit, not a GIFTI limit)
.IP
OK : equal data in 1 file
OK : equal data in k files, numDA is multiple of k
BAD: equal data in k files, numDA is NOT multiple of k
OK : points/triangles in 2 files
BAD: points/triangles in 1 file (sizes differ)
.IP
The most basic use of this option is to convert data from
internal to external.  See examples 5d and 5e.
.IP
Note that one can also create a GIFTI dataset out of nothing
and use this option to point to existing external data files.
This would help conversion from other dataset formats.  See
example 5c.
.IP
Note that one can convert from an external data format to
internal just by modifying the \fB\-encoding\fR.  See example 5f.
.TP
\fB\-write_1D\fR
DSET : write out data to AFNI style 1D file
.IP
e.g. \fB\-write_1D\fR stats.1D
.TP
Currently, all DAs need to be of the same datatype.
This
.IP
restriction could be lifted if there is interest.
.TP
\fB\-write_asc\fR
DSET : write out geometry to FreeSurfer style ASC file
.IP
e.g. \fB\-write_asc\fR pial.asc
.IP
To write a surface file in FreeSurfer asc format, it must
contain DataArray elements of intent NIFTI_INTENT_POINTSET
and NIFTI_INTENT_TRIANGLE.  The POINTSET data is written as
node coordinates and the TRIANGLE data as triangles (node
index triplets).
.HP
\fB\-write_gifti\fR DSET : write out dataset as gifti image
.IP
e.g. \fB\-write_gifti\fR new.pial.gii
.TP
\fB\-zlevel\fR
LEVEL : set compression level (\fB\-1\fR or 0..9)
.TP
This option sets the compression level used by zlib.
Some
.IP
LEVEL values are noteworthy:
.TP
\fB\-1\fR
: specify to use the default of zlib (currently 6)
.TP
0
: no compression (but still needs a few extra bytes)
.TP
1
: fastest but weakest compression
.TP
6
: default (good speed/compression trade\-off)
.TP
9
: slowest but strongest compression
.HP

modification options
.IP
These modification options will affect every DataArray element
specified by the \fB\-mod_DAs\fR option.  If the option is not used,
then ALL DataArray elements will be affected.
.TP
\fB\-mod_add_data\fR
: add data to empty DataArray elements
.TP
Allocate data in every DataArray element.
Datasets can be
.TP
created without any stored data.
This will allocate data
.IP
and fill it with zeros of the given type.
.TP
\fB\-mod_DA_atr\fR
NAME VALUE : set the NAME=VALUE attribute pair
.IP
e.g. \fB\-mod_DA_atr\fR Intent NIFTI_INTENT_ZSCORE
.IP
This option will set the DataArray attribute corresponding
to NAME to the value, VALUE.  Attribute name=value pairs are
specified in the gifti DTD (see \fB\-gifti_dtd_url\fR).
.IP
One NAME=VALUE pair can be specified per \fB\-mod_DA_atr\fR
option.  Multiple \fB\-mod_DA_atr\fR options can be used.
.HP
\fB\-mod_DA_meta\fR NAME VALUE : set the NAME=VALUE pair in DA's MetaData
.IP
e.g. \fB\-mod_DA_meta\fR Description 'the best dataset, ever'
.IP
Add a MetaData entry to each DataArray element for this
NAME and VALUE.  If 'NAME' already exists, the old value
is replaced by VALUE.
.TP
\fB\-mod_DAs\fR i0 i1 ...
: specify the set of DataArrays to modify
.IP
e.g. \fB\-mod_DAs\fR 0 4 5
.TP
Specify the list of DataArray elements to modify.
All the
.TP
\fB\-mod_\fR* options apply to this list of DataArray indices.
If
.IP
no \fB\-mod_DAs\fR option is used, the operations apply to ALL
DataArray elements.
.IP
Note that the indices are zero\-based, 0 .. numDA\-1.
.TP
\fB\-mod_gim_atr\fR
NAME VALUE : set the GIFTI NAME=VALUE attribute pair
.IP
e.g. \fB\-mod_gim_atr\fR Version 3.141592
.IP
Set the GIFTI element attribute corresponding to NAME to the
value, VALUE.
.IP
Given that numDA is computed and version will rarely change,
this option will probably not feel much love.
.HP
\fB\-mod_gim_meta\fR NAME VALUE : add this pair to the GIFTI MetaData
.IP
e.g. \fB\-mod_gim_meta\fR date "`date`"
.IP
Add a MetaData entry to each DataArray element for this
NAME and VALUE pair.  If NAME exists, VALUE will replace
the old value.
.TP
\fB\-mod_to_float\fR
: change all DataArray data to float
.IP
Convert all DataArray elements of all datasets to datatype
NIFTI_TYPE_FLOAT32 (4\-byte floats).  If the data does not
actually exist, only the attribute will be set.  Otherwise
all of the data will be converted.  There are some types
for which this operation may not be appropriate.

comparison options
.TP
\fB\-approx_gifti\fR
: approximate comparison of GIFTI dsets
.IP
This compares all data elements of the two GIFTI structures.
The attributes, MetaData, etc. are ignored if they do not
pertain directly to the data.
.IP
The comparisons allow for small, fractional differences,
which depend on the datatype.
.TP
\fB\-compare_gifti\fR
: specifies to compare two GIFTI datasets
.IP
This compares all elements of the two GIFTI structures.
The attributes, LabelTabels, MetaData are compared, and then
each of the included DataArray elements.  All sub\-structures
of the DataArrays are compared, except for the actual 'data',
which requires the '\-compare_data' flag.
.IP
There must be exactly 2 input datasets to use this option.
See example #7 for sample usage.
.TP
\fB\-compare_data\fR
: flag to request comparison of the data
.IP
Data comparison is done per DataArray element.
.IP
Comparing data is a separate operation from comparing GIFTI.
Neither implies the other.
.TP
\fB\-compare_verb\fR LEVEL
: set the verbose level of comparisons
.TP
Data comparison is done per DataArray element.
Setting the
.IP
verb level will have the following effect:
.IP
0 : quiet, only return whether there was a difference
1 : show whether there was a difference
2 : show whether there was a difference per DataArray
3 : show all differences

.IP
e.g. \fB\-copy_gifti_meta\fR AFNI_History
.IP
Copy the MetaData with the given name from the first input
dataset to the second (last).  This applies to MetaData at
the GIFTI level (not in the DataArray elements).
.TP
\fB\-copy_DA_meta\fR MD_NAME
: copy MetaData with name MD_NAME
.IP
e.g. \fB\-copy_DA_meta\fR intent_p1
.IP
Copy the MetaData with the given name from the first input
