The argument parsing in manta is strange. I can say that because I wrote it.

Try this:
./bin/manta -scene "lib/libscene_octisovol( -file ~/work/Volumes/ h300_302_uc)"

My scene file parses args exactly the way the others do, but when I do this:

./bin/manta -scene lib/libscene_octisovol -file ~/work/Volumes/ h300_302_uc

it ignores the -file argument. It also seems to ignore all the other arguments.

Is there some syntax for scene file arguments (on the manta.cc frontend) I'm unaware of? I haven't noticed anything looking through the code...

Thanks!

nrrd is probably the way to go. Just be warned - don't use the - malign-double on the mbpro when you compile manta with teem. It is the default and perhaps shouldn't be.

Christiaan just worked on conditional compilation for teem stuff, so try to be consistent with that as much as possible. James might be able to advise on how to make that better if necessary.

In adding the octree volume code, I'm hoping to use volume data that's as standard as possible.

The raw data itself is a no-brainer, but are there any preferences as to:

(1) nrrd headers
(2) the .hdr format from RTRT
(3) an extensible header format that supports additional information (such as for octree volumes), built on top of the nrrd header format

I'm opting for (1), and perhaps using a separate header format for the octree volumes as opposed to normal rectilinear grid volumes.

Let me know (especially James)
