RT M - RoTate - image or volume, use minimum as background
(3/25/96)
PURPOSE
Rotates an image counter-clockwise around the center
(NSAM/2 + 1, NROW/2 + 1). (Negative angles: clockwise.
Note that the notions "clockwise" and "counter-clockwise"
refer to the mirrored x-y system used for image display).
The background rotated into the image field is the
minimum of the input image.
SEE ALSO
RT [Rotate - image or volume, use average as background] RT 3 [Rotate - volume, slow] RT 3A [Rotate - volume, around arbitrary center] RT 3D [Rotate - volume, fast] RT 90 [Rotate - image or volume, by 90, 180, or 270 degrees] RT B [Rotate - image or volume, supply background] RT C [Rotate - image, around arbitrary center, for small files] RT SQ [Rotate - image or volume, shift, use quadratic interpolation]
USAGE
.OPERATION: RT M
.INPUT FILE: H_PIC001
[Enter the name of the file to be rotated.]
.OUTPUT FILE: H_IMG047
[Enter the name of the file where the rotated image is to
be kept.]
.ROTATION ANGLE: 90.0
[Enter the rotation angle in degrees.]
[PIC001 will then be rotated 90 degrees, and the rotated
image put in ROT001.]
NOTES
The rotation angle can be specified by reference to a
register: '-X10' will input the rotation angle (with
inverted sign) found in a previous 'OR X10' operation.
Whether or not the sign has to be inverted follows
from the order of argument files in 'OR'.
The input file may be three-dimensional. In this
case, each of the slices is separately rotated around
the z-axis, and stored in the output file which will
be created with the same dimensions.
