## NAME

transformix - manual page for transformix version: 5.2.0

## DESCRIPTION

transformix version: 5.2.0

transformix applies a transform on an input image and/or generates a deformation field. The transform is specified in the transform-parameter file.

**--help**, **-h** displays this message and exit

- **--version**

  output version information and exit

### Call transformix from the command line with mandatory arguments:

- **-out**

  output directory

- **-tp**

  transform-parameter file, only 1

### Optional extra commands:

- **-in**

  input image to deform

- **-def**

  file containing input-image points; the point are transformed according to the specified transform-parameter file use "-def all" to transform all points from the input-image, which effectively generates a deformation field.

- **-jac**

  use "-jac all" to generate an image with the determinant of the spatial Jacobian

- **-jacmat**

  use "-jacmat all" to generate an image with the spatial Jacobian matrix at each voxel

**-loglevel** set the log level to "off", "error", "warning", or "info" (default),

**-priority** set the process priority to high, abovenormal, normal (default),

-

  belownormal, or idle (Windows only option)

- **-threads**

  set the maximum number of threads of transformix

At least one of the options "-in", "-def", "-jac", or "-jacmat" should be given.

The transform-parameter file must contain all the information necessary for transformix to run properly. That includes which transform to use, with which parameters, etc. For a usable transform-parameter file, run elastix, and inspect the output file "TransformParameters.0.txt".
