Function Synopsis

[ avw, machine ] = avw_hdr_read(fileprefix, machine)

Help Text

 avw_hdr_read - read Analyze format data header (*.hdr)

 [ avw, machine ] = avw_hdr_read(fileprefix, [machine])

 fileprefix - string filename (without .hdr); the file name
              can be given as a full path or relative to the
              current directory.
 
 machine - a string, see machineformat in fread for details.
           The default here is 'ieee-le' but the routine
           will automatically switch between little and big
           endian to read any such Analyze header.  It
           reports the appropriate machine format and can
           return the machine value.

 avw.hdr - a struct, all fields returned from the header.
           For details, find a good description on the web
           or see the Analyze File Format pdf in the 
           mri_toolbox doc folder or read this .m file.

% Note on using char:
% The 'char orient' field in the header is intended to
% hold simply an 8-bit unsigned integer value, not the ASCII representation
% of the character for that value.  A single 'char' byte is often used to
% represent an integer value in Analyze if the known value range doesn't
% go beyond 0-255 - saves a byte over a short int, which may not mean
% much in today's computing environments, but given that this format
% has been around since the early 1980's, saving bytes here and there on
% older systems was important!  In this case, 'char' simply provides the
% byte of storage - not an indicator of the format for what is stored in
% this byte.  Generally speaking, anytime a single 'char' is used, it is
% probably meant to hold an 8-bit integer value, whereas if this has
% been dimensioned as an array, then it is intended to hold an ASCII
% character string, even if that was only a single character.
% Denny  <hanson.dennis2@mayo.edu>


% Comments
% The header format is flexible and can be extended for new 
% user-defined data types. The essential structures of the header 
% are the header_key and the image_dimension.
%

% The required elements in the header_key substructure are: 
%
% int sizeof_header   Must indicate the byte size of the header file. 
% int extents         Should be 16384, the image file is created as 
%                     contiguous with a minimum extent size. 
% char regular        Must be 'r' to indicate that all images and 
%                     volumes are the same size. 
% 

% The image_dimension substructure describes the organization and 
% size of the images. These elements enable the database to reference 
% images by volume and slice number. Explanation of each element follows: 
% 
% short int dim[ ];      /* Array of the image dimensions */ 
%
% dim[0]      Number of dimensions in database; usually 4. 
% dim[1]      Image X dimension; number of pixels in an image row. 
% dim[2]      Image Y dimension; number of pixel rows in slice. 
% dim[3]      Volume Z dimension; number of slices in a volume. 
% dim[4]      Time points; number of volumes in database.
% dim[5]      Undocumented.
% dim[6]      Undocumented.
% dim[7]      Undocumented.
% 
% char vox_units[4]     Specifies the spatial units of measure for a voxel. 
% char cal_units[8]      Specifies the name of the calibration unit.
