Preview nifti images on the terminal
Project description
niicat
This is a tool to quickly preview nifti images on the terminal. This can be helpful if you are working on a remote server via SSH and do not have a -X connection. It uses libsixel to display the images. Niicat can also display png, jpg or similar images.
Install:
pip install niicat
Usage:
niicat T1.nii.gz
Possible problems
If nothing is displayed check if your terminal supports sixel.
You might also encounter the following error message:
ctypes.ArgumentError: argument 2: <class 'TypeError'>: wrong type
This is a known problem when using libsixel-python.
In this case try using niicat with the option -ic
if you are using iterm2 (this will use imgcat
from iterm2) or
with the option -lb
(this will use libsixel-bin
which can be installed via sudo apt install libsixel-bin
).
Niicat was only tested on python >= 3.5.
