Wraps command **GrayscaleModelMaker **

title: Grayscale Model Maker

category: Surface Models

description: Create 3D surface models from grayscale data. This module uses Marching Cubes to create an isosurface at a given threshold. The resulting surface consists of triangles that separate a volume into regions below and above the threshold. The resulting surface can be smoothed and decimated. This model works on continuous data while the module Model Maker works on labeled (or discrete) data.

Inputs:

[Mandatory]

[Optional]
InputVolume: (an existing file name)
        Volume containing the input grayscale data.

        flag: %s
decimate: (a float)
        Target reduction during decimation, as a decimal percentage
        reduction in the number of polygons. If 0, no decimation will be
        done.
        flag: --decimate %f
environ: (a dictionary with keys which are a newbytes or None or a
         newstr or None and with values which are a newbytes or None or a
         newstr or None, nipype default value: {})
        Environment variables
ignore_exception: (a boolean, nipype default value: False)
        Print an error message instead of throwing an exception in case the
        interface fails to run
name: (a unicode string)
        Name to use for this model.
        flag: --name %s
pointnormals: (a boolean)
        Calculate the point normals? Calculated point normals make the
        surface appear smooth. Without point normals, the surface will
        appear faceted.
        flag: --pointnormals
smooth: (an integer (int or long))
        Number of smoothing iterations. If 0, no smoothing will be done.

        it creates holes in surfaces which affect measurements
        flag: --splitnormals

        output, `file` - writes output to file, `none` - output is ignored
threshold: (a float)
        Grayscale threshold of isosurface. The resulting surface of
        triangles separates the volume into voxels that lie above (inside)
        and below (outside) the threshold.
        flag: --threshold %f

        settings. Skips label 0.
        flag: --generateAll
ignore_exception: (a boolean, nipype default value: False)
        Print an error message instead of throwing an exception in case the
        interface fails to run
jointsmooth: (a boolean)
        This will ensure that all resulting models fit together smoothly,
        like jigsaw puzzle pieces. Otherwise the models will be smoothed
        independently and may overlap.

labels: (a list of items which are an integer (int or long))
        A comma separated list of label values from which to make models. f
        you specify a list of Labels, it will override any start/end label

        Generated models, under a model hierarchy node. Models are imported
        into Slicer under a model hierarchy node, and their colors are set

        model hierarchy node must be created before running the model maker,
        by selecting Create New ModelHierarchy from the Models drop down
        menu. If you're running from the command line, a model hierarchy
        node in a new mrml scene will be created for you.

name: (a unicode string)
        Name to use for this model. Any text entered in the entry box will
        be the starting string for the created model file names. The label
        number and the color name will also be part of the file name. If
        making multiple models, use this as a prefix to the label and color
        name.
        flag: --name %s
pad: (a boolean)
        Pad the input volume with zero value voxels on all 6 faces in order
        to ensure the production of closed surfaces. Sets the origin
        translation and extent translation so that the models still line up
        with the unpadded input volume.
        flag: --pad
pointnormals: (a boolean)
        Turn this flag on if you wish to calculate the normal vectors for
        the points.
        flag: --pointnormals
saveIntermediateModels: (a boolean)
        You can save a copy of the models after each of the intermediate
        steps (marching cubes, smoothing, and decimation if not joint
        smoothing, otherwise just after decimation). These intermediate
        models are not saved in the mrml file, you have to load them
        manually after turning off deleting temporary files in they python
        console (View ->Python Interactor) using the following command slice
        r.modules.modelmaker.cliModuleLogic().DeleteTemporaryFilesOff().
        flag: --saveIntermediateModels
skipUnNamed: (a boolean)
        Select this to not generate models from labels that do not have
        names defined in the color look up table associated with the input
        label map. If true, only models which have an entry in the color
        table will be generated. If false, generate all models that exist
        within the label range.
        flag: --skipUnNamed
smooth: (an integer (int or long))
        Here you can set the number of smoothing iterations for Laplacian
        smoothing, or the degree of the polynomial approximating the
        windowed Sinc function. Use 0 if you wish no smoothing.
        flag: --smooth %d
splitnormals: (a boolean)
        Splitting normals is useful for visualizing sharp features. However
        it creates holes in surfaces which affects measurements.
        flag: --splitnormals
start: (an integer (int or long))
        If you want to specify a continuous range of labels from which to
        generate models, enter the lower label here. Voxel value from which
        to start making models. Used instead of the label list to specify a
        range (make sure the label list is empty or it will over ride this).
        flag: --start %d
terminal_output: (u'stream' or u'allatonce' or u'file' or u'none')
        Control terminal output: `stream` - displays to terminal immediately
        (default), `allatonce` - waits till command is finished to display
        output, `file` - writes output to file, `none` - output is ignored

Outputs:

modelSceneFile: (a list of items which are an existing file name)
        Generated models, under a model hierarchy node. Models are imported
        into Slicer under a model hierarchy node, and their colors are set
        by the color table associated with the input label map volume. The
        model hierarchy node must be created before running the model maker,
        by selecting Create New ModelHierarchy from the Models drop down
        menu. If you're running from the command line, a model hierarchy
