Module: Inter Time Steps Recipe Player ()

Description:

This is an experimental module from the Xtra Library: https://xtras.amira-avizo.com.

This module can only work with a time series dataset (managed by a Time Series Control).

This module applies a 2-inputs recipe to either a specific pair of two successive time steps, or to all pairs of two successive time steps of the full time series.
In the first case the result of the recipe is directly added to the Project View, in the second case the results are saved into a specified directory as Avizo files.
it is also possible to choose in which order the time steps of the pair to process must be connected to the 2-inputs recipe.
Finally, when processing a full time series, the results can be exported as TIFF images instead (one may check that the recipe creates compatible results with TIFF file format though).

Connections:

Data [required]
This port can be attached to any kind of time series dataset (managed by a Time Series Control).

Time steps to process [optional]
This port is automatically synchronized with the port Time of the Time Series Control managing the input data.

Ports:

Console

Opens the Python Script Object console of the module as the active console window.

Recipe

This port sets the 2-inputs recipe file that will be executed to process time steps pair(s).

Inputs order

This port sets the inputs connections order between the time steps pair to process and the 2-inputs recipe:

• Time step 't-1' is recipe input 1 and time step 't' is recipe input 2.
• Time step 't' is recipe input 1 and time step 't-1' is recipe input 2.

Time steps to process

This port selects one of the two successive time steps of the pair to process.
It is hidden when port Process whole sequence is checked.

Output directory

This port defines the path to the output directory where the results of the 2-inputs recipe execution will be saved.
It is visible only when port Process whole sequence is checked.

Process whole sequence

If this port is checked the 2-inputs recipe is applied to the full sequence as pairs of two successive time steps.

Export as 2D Tiff files

If this port is checked the results of the 2-inputs recipe exceution are exported as TIFF images (results should be 8/16 bits unsigned int to avoid any undesired conversion).
It is visible only when port Process whole sequence is checked.
