[SOLVED] Split mrc file into pieces by using DM script

Split mrc file into pieces by using DM script

I have a mrc file, which contains 10 pieces. After loading into DM, I can browser the pieces by using the left and right arrow. I'd like to use DM script to read the mrc file and then save each piece into a separated file. Is that possible?

Solution

Glad you've solved it yourself by now. In order to have some answer here on StackOverflow as well, this is how I would do it. (Tested with your example file)

string path = "C:\\temp\\test.mrc"

if ( !OpenDialog( NULL , "Load MRC stack from" , path , path ) ) exit(0)

image stack := NewImageDocumentFromFile(path).ImageDocumentGetRootImage()
if ( !stack.ImageIsValid() )
    Throw("Could not read file:\n"+path)
    
//stack.ShowImage()
if ( 3 != stack.ImageGetNumDimensions() )
    Throw("File is not a 3D stack.")
    
number sx,sy,sz
stack.ImageGetDimensionSizes(sx,sy,sz)

string folder = PathExtractDirectory(path,0)
string baseName = PathExtractBasename(path,0)

// Split and save
for(number i=0;i<sz;i++){
    
    image img := stack.slice2(0,0,i, 0,sx,1, 1,sy,1).ImageClone()
    string filePath = folder+basename+"_"+i
    OpenAndSetProgressWindow("Saving file "+(i+1)+" / "+sz,filepath,"")
    img.ImageGetOrCreateImageDocument().ImageDocumentSaveToFile( "Gatan Format", filePath)
    Result("\n saved: "+filePath)
}

CloseProgressWindow()
