niicat 0.2.1

Preview nifti images on the terminal

niicat

This is a tool to quickly preview nifti images on the terminal. This can be helpful if you are working on a remote server via SSH and do not have a -X connection. Per default it uses libsixel to display the images. If you add the option -ic it will use iTerm2's imgcat command instead of libsixel to display the images.

Install:

pip install niicat

Install prerequisite libsixel (if you do not use iterm2):

Ubuntu

sudo apt install libsixel-bin

Mac (build from source)

git clone https://github.com/saitoha/libsixel.git
cd libsixel
./configure
make
make install

Also check out the terminal requirements for libsixel to work.

Usage:

niicat T1.nii.gz

This code is based on the following code:

niipre
imgcat
