xform_nii.m

%  internal function

%  'xform_nii.m' is an internal function called by "load_nii.m", so
%  you do not need run this program by yourself. It does simplified
%  NIfTI sform/qform affine transform, and supports some of the 
%  affine transforms, including translation, reflection, and 
%  orthogonal rotation (N*90 degree).
%
%  For other affine transforms, e.g. any degree rotation, shearing
%  etc. you will have to use the included 'reslice_nii.m' program
%  to reslice the image volume. 'reslice_nii.m' is not called by
%  any other program, and you have to run 'reslice_nii.m' explicitly
%  for those NIfTI files that you want to reslice them.
%
%  Since 'xform_nii.m' does not involve any interpolation or any
%  slice change, the original image volume is supposed to be
%  untouched, although it is translated, reflected, or even 
%  orthogonally rotated, based on the affine matrix in the
%  NIfTI header.
%
%  However, the affine matrix in the header of a lot NIfTI files
%  contain slightly non-orthogonal rotation. Therefore, optional
%  input parameter 'tolerance' is used to allow some distortion
%  in the loaded image for any non-orthogonal rotation or shearing
%  of NIfTI affine matrix. If you set 'tolerance' to 0, it means
%  that you do not allow any distortion. If you set 'tolerance' to
%  1, it means that you do not care any distortion. The image will
%  fail to be loaded if it can not be tolerated. The tolerance will
%  be set to 0.1 (10%), if it is default or empty.
%
%  Because 'reslice_nii.m' has to perform 3D interpolation, it can
%  be slow depending on image size and affine matrix in the header.
%  
%  After you perform the affine transform, the 'nii' structure
%  generated from 'xform_nii.m' or new NIfTI file created from
%  'reslice_nii.m' will be in RAS orientation, i.e. X axis from
%  Left to Right, Y axis from Posterior to Anterior, and Z axis
%  from Inferior to Superior.
%
%  NOTE: This function should be called immediately after load_nii.
%  
%  Usage: [ nii ] = xform_nii(nii, [tolerance], [preferredForm])
%  
%  nii	- NIFTI structure (returned from load_nii)
%
%  tolerance (optional) - distortion allowed for non-orthogonal rotation
%	or shearing in NIfTI affine matrix. It will be set to 0.1 (10%),
%	if it is default or empty.
%
%  preferredForm (optional)  -  selects which transformation from voxels
%	to RAS coordinates; values are s,q,S,Q.  Lower case s,q indicate
%	"prefer sform or qform, but use others if preferred not present". 
%	Upper case indicate the program is forced to use the specificied
%	tranform or fail loading.  'preferredForm' will be 's', if it is
%	default or empty.	- Jeff Gunter
