>>> warputils.inputs.reference = "T1.nii"
>>> warputils.inputs.out_format = 'spline'

>>> warputils.inputs.output_type = "NIFTI_GZ"
>>> warputils.cmdline 
'fnirtfileutils --in=warpfield.nii --outformat=spline --ref=T1.nii --warpres=10.0000,10.0000,10.0000 --out=warpfield_coeffs.nii.gz'
>>> res = invwarp.run() 
in_filea pathlike object or string representing an existing file

Name of file containing warp-coefficients/fields. This would typically be the output from the –cout switch of fnirt (but can also use fields, like the output from –fout). Maps to a command-line argument: --in=%s.

referencea pathlike object or string representing an existing file

Name of a file in target space. Note that the target space is now different from the target space that was used to create the –warp file. It would typically be the file that was specified with the –in argument when running fnirt. Maps to a command-line argument: --ref=%s.

write_jacobiana boolean

Switch on –jac flag with automatically generated filename. (Nipype default value: False)

argsa string

Additional parameters to the command. Maps to a command-line argument: %s.

environa dictionary with keys which are a bytes or None or a value of class ‘str’ and with values which are a bytes or None or a value of class ‘str’

Environment variables. (Nipype default value: {})

knot_spacea tuple of the form: (an integer, an integer, an integer)

Alternative (to –warpres) specification of the resolution of the output spline-field. Maps to a command-line argument: --knotspace=%d,%d,%d.

out_filea pathlike object or string representing a file

Name of output file. The format of the output depends on what other parameters are set. The default format is a (4D) field-file. If the –outformat is set to spline the format will be a (4D) file of spline coefficients. Maps to a command-line argument: --out=%s (position: -1).

out_format‘spline’ or ‘field’

Specifies the output format. If set to field (default) the output will be a (4D) field-file. If set to spline the format will be a (4D) file of spline coefficients. Maps to a command-line argument: --outformat=%s.

out_jacobiana pathlike object or string representing a file

Specifies that a (3D) file of Jacobian determinants corresponding to –in should be produced and written to filename. Maps to a command-line argument: --jac=%s.

output_type‘NIFTI’ or ‘NIFTI_PAIR’ or ‘NIFTI_GZ’ or ‘NIFTI_PAIR_GZ’ or ‘GIFTI’

FSL output type.

warp_resolutiona tuple of the form: (a float, a float, a float)

Specifies the resolution/knot-spacing of the splines pertaining to the coefficients in the –out file. This parameter is only relevant if –outformat is set to spline. It should be noted that if the –in file has a higher resolution, the resulting coefficients will pertain to the closest (in a least-squares sense) file in the space of fields with the –warpres resolution. It should also be noted that the resolution will always be an integer multiple of the voxel size. Maps to a command-line argument: --warpres=%0.4f,%0.4f,%0.4f.

with_affinea boolean

Specifies that the affine transform (i.e. that which was specified for the –aff parameter in fnirt) should be included as displacements in the –out file. That can be useful for interfacing with software that cannot decode FSL/fnirt coefficient-files (where the affine transform is stored separately from the displacements). Maps to a command-line argument: --withaff.

out_filea pathlike object or string representing a file

Name of output file, containing the warp as field or coefficients.

out_jacobiana pathlike object or string representing a file

Name of output file, containing the map of the determinant of the Jacobian.
