Besides loading phantom files from +the disk, the Herman and Shepp-Logan phantoms are built-in to CTSim. +Phantom files can be read and stored on the disk. However, a text +editor is required to create and edit these files. + \subsection{Image} +Image files are 2-dimensional files stored a 4-byte floating point values. +They are stored in little-endian format and \ctsim\ incorporates routines +to read and write files correctly on both big and little endian architextures. + +Images files can be either real or complex valued. Typically, all images +are real except for images that have been processed by Fourier transforms. + \subsection{Projection} +Projection files are created from Phantom files during the projection process. +Numerous options are available for creation of the these files. + \subsection{Plot} +Plot files are created by CTSim during analysis of image files. They can be +read and stored on the disk. They are stored as ASCII files for easy +cross-platform support. \section{Phantom Menus} \subsection{Rasterize Dialog} +This creates an image file from a phantom. Technically, it converts +the phantom from a vector (infinite resolution) object into defined resolution +image. The parameters to set are: + +x-size Number of columns in image file +y-size Number of rows in image file +samples Numbers of samples taken per pixel in the x and y directions. + For example, if the nsamples is set to \texttt{3}, then for every + pixel in the image file, 9 samples (3 x 3) are averaged. + \subsection{Projection Dialog} +This creates a projection file from a phantom. \section{Image Menus} +\subsection{File - Properties} +\subsection{View} +\subsection{Image} +These commands create a new image. +\subsection{Filter} +These commands filter image. -\section{Projection Menus} +\subsection{Anaylze} +\section{Projection Menus} \subsection{Convert Polar Dialog} \subsection{Convert FFT Polar Dialog} \subsection{Filtered Backprojection Dialog} \section{Plot Menus} -\subsection{File Menu} -\subsubsection{Save} +\subsection{File - Properties} +\subsection{File - Save} Plot files can be saved.
