Workbench Command is a set of command-line tools that can be used to perform simple and complex operations within Connectome Workbench.
DUMP CIFTI MATRIX INTO OTHER FORMATS
wb_command -cifti-convert
[-to-gifti-ext] - convert to GIFTI external binary
<cifti-in> - the input cifti file
<gifti-out> - output - the output gifti file
[-from-gifti-ext] - convert a GIFTI made with this command back into a
CIFTI
<gifti-in> - the input gifti file
<cifti-out> - output - the output cifti file
[-reset-timepoints] - reset the mapping along rows to timepoints,
taking length from the gifti file
<timestep> - the desired time between frames
<timestart> - the desired time offset of the initial frame
[-unit] - use a unit other than time
<unit> - unit identifier (default SECOND)
[-reset-scalars] - reset mapping along rows to scalars, taking length
from the gifti file
[-column-reset-scalars] - reset mapping along columns to scalar
(useful for changing number of series in a sdseries file)
[-replace-binary] - replace data with a binary file
<binary-in> - the binary file that contains replacement data
[-flip-endian] - byteswap the binary file
[-transpose] - transpose the binary file
[-to-nifti] - convert to NIFTI1
<cifti-in> - the input cifti file
<nifti-out> - output - the output nifti file
[-smaller-file] - use better-fitting dimension lengths
[-smaller-dims] - minimize the largest dimension, for tools that don't
like large indices
[-from-nifti] - convert a NIFTI (1 or 2) file made with this command back
into CIFTI
<nifti-in> - the input nifti file
<cifti-template> - a cifti file with the dimension(s) and mapping(s)
that should be used
<cifti-out> - output - the output cifti file
[-reset-timepoints] - reset the mapping along rows to timepoints,
taking length from the nifti file
<timestep> - the desired time between frames
<timestart> - the desired time offset of the initial frame
[-unit] - use a unit other than time
<unit> - unit identifier (default SECOND)
[-reset-scalars] - reset mapping along rows to scalars, taking length
from the nifti file
[-to-text] - convert to a plain text file
<cifti-in> - the input cifti file
<text-out> - output - the output text file
[-col-delim] - choose string to put between elements in a row
<delim-string> - the string to use (default is a tab character)
[-from-text] - convert from plain text to cifti
<text-in> - the input text file
<cifti-template> - a cifti file with the dimension(s) and mapping(s)
that should be used
<cifti-out> - output - the output cifti file
[-col-delim] - specify string that is between elements in a row
<delim-string> - the string to use (default is any whitespace)
[-reset-timepoints] - reset the mapping along rows to timepoints,
taking length from the text file
<timestep> - the desired time between frames
<timestart> - the desired time offset of the initial frame
[-unit] - use a unit other than time
<unit> - unit identifier (default SECOND)
[-reset-scalars] - reset mapping along rows to scalars, taking length
from the text file
This command is used to convert a full CIFTI matrix to/from formats that
can be used by programs that don't understand CIFTI. You must specify
exactly one of -to-gifti-ext, -from-gifti-ext, -to-nifti, -from-nifti,
-to-text, or -from-text.
If you want to write an existing CIFTI file with a different CIFTI
version, see -file-convert, and its -cifti-version-convert option.
If you want part of the CIFTI file as a metric, label, or volume file,
see -cifti-separate. If you want to create a CIFTI file from metric
and/or volume files, see the -cifti-create-* commands.
If you want to import a matrix that is restricted to an ROI, first create
a template CIFTI file matching that ROI using a -cifti-create-* command.
After importing to CIFTI, you can then expand the file into a standard
brainordinates space with -cifti-create-dense-from-template. If you want
to export only part of a CIFTI file, first create an roi-restricted CIFTI
file with -cifti-restrict-dense-mapping.
The -transpose option to -from-gifti-ext is needed if the replacement
binary file is in column-major order.
The -unit options accept these values:
SECOND
HERTZ
METER
RADIAN
