## Detailed Description

Wrapper class encapsulating a NIfTI data blob, with responsibility for handling data scaling and polymorphism.

This class provides read/write data access, iterators, etc., which internally handle conversion to and from the data's native type. It can be linked to the data in a `nifti_image` or used independently.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## ◆ NiftiImageData() [1/4]

RNifti::NiftiImageData::NiftiImageData | ( | void * | data,
|  | const size_t | length,
|  | const int | datatype,
|  | const double | slope = `1.0`,
|  | const double | intercept = `0.0`
| ) |  |
| inline

Primary constructor.

Parameters

  data | A pointer to a pre-allocated data blob, or `NULL`. In the latter case, memory will be allocated by the object, and cleaned up at destruction unless it is disowned
  length | The number of elements in the blob
  datatype | The NIfTI datatype code corresponding to the type of the data elements
  slope | The slope parameter to use for data scaling, if any
  intercept | The intercept parameter to use for data scaling, if any

## ◆ NiftiImageData() [2/4]

RNifti::NiftiImageData::NiftiImageData | ( | nifti_image * | image | ) |
| inline

Convenience constructor for a `nifti_image`.

Parameters

  image | The image struct whose data the object will wrap

## ◆ NiftiImageData() [3/4]

RNifti::NiftiImageData::NiftiImageData | ( | const NiftiImageData & | source,
|  | const int | datatype = `DT_NONE`
| ) |  |
| inline

Copy constructor with optional type conversion.

Parameters

  source | Another `NiftiImageData` object to copy data from
  datatype | The datatype to convert to, or `DT_NONE`, the default, for no conversion. If the range of the source data cannot be represented by the chosen type, the slope and intercept parameters will be set to adjust the range

## ◆ NiftiImageData() [4/4]

template<class InputIterator >

RNifti::NiftiImageData::NiftiImageData | ( | InputIterator | from,
|  | InputIterator | to,
|  | const int | datatype
| ) |  |
| inline

Iterator-based constructor.

Parameters

  from | Iterator type representing the start of the source data to be copied
  to | Iterator type representing the end of the source data to be copied
  datatype | The NIfTI datatype to use within the data blob

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ calibrateFrom()

void RNifti::NiftiImageData::calibrateFrom | ( | const NiftiImageData & | data | ) |
| inline protected

Update the slope and intercept to cover the range of another data object.

Exceptions

  runtime_error | If the current datatype is unsupported
