Preface
Ogles development currently tries to make things work. The code is not optimized, and awfully slow. If using Ogles, have a cup of coffee near you in the morning, or a glass of wine in the evening.
As debugging still is a major issue, Ogles generates a log file (oglesxxx.log) in the Ogles working directory. This file grows considerably with each execution, and needs to be deleted every now and then.


The basic workflow in Ogles includes following steps:
1. Preparation of image series
2. Open volume data by
Script file (basics / details) or
Command line options
3. Setting of data views and stereotactic parameters by
Graphical controls and
Keyboard controls




Preparation


Ogles presents isometric volume files. These files need to be in unsigned byte (.rub) or 32 bit integer (.raw) format. The voxels are ordered by first counting along the x-axis, followed by the y-axis and lastly along the z-axis. Alternatively isometric old Analyze data files (.hdr and .img) can be used. In order to generate such data files from DICOM series the Simple Dicom Reader might be considered.

If two or more volume files are to be analyzed in Ogles, they usually need to be co-registrated, to fit them into the same coordinate space. Flirt is an excellent tool for this co-registration.
