// .NAME vtkNIFTIImageReader - Read NIfTI-1 and NIfTI-2 medical image files
// .SECTION Description
// This class reads NIFTI files, either in .nii format or as separate
// .img and .hdr files.  If two files are used, then they can be passed
// by using SetFileNames() instead of SetFileName().  Files ending in .gz
// are decompressed on-the-fly while they are being read.  Files with
// complex numbers or vector dimensions will be read as multi-component
// images.  If a NIFTI file has a time dimension, then by default only the
// first image in the time series will be read, but the TimeAsVector
// flag can be set to read the time steps as vector components.  Files in
// Analyze 7.5 format are also supported by this reader.
// .SECTION Thanks
// This class was contributed to VTK by the Calgary Image Processing and
// Analysis Centre (CIPAC).

  // Read the time dimension as scalar components (default: Off).
  // If this is on, then each time point will be stored as a component in
  // the image data.  If the file has both a time dimension and a vector
  // dimension, then the number of components will be the product of these
  // two dimensions, i.e. the components will store a sequence of vectors.

  // Description:
  // Get the slope and intercept for rescaling the scalar values.
  // These values allow calibration of the data to real values.
  // Use the equation v = u*RescaleSlope + RescaleIntercept.
  // This directly returns the values stored in the scl_slope and
  // scl_inter fields in the NIFTI header.
  double GetRescaleSlope() { return this->RescaleSlope; }

  // Description:
  // QFac gives the slice order in the NIFTI file versus the VTK image.
  // If QFac is -1, then the VTK slice index J is related to the NIFTI
  // slice index j by the equation J = (num_slices - j - 1).  VTK requires
  // the slices to be ordered so that the voxel indices (I,J,K) provide a
  // right-handed coordinate system, whereas NIFTI does not.  Instead,
  // NIFTI stores a factor called "qfac" in the header to signal when the
  // (i,j,k) indices form a left-handed coordinate system.  QFac will only
  // ever have values of +1 or -1.
  double GetQFac() { return this->QFac; }

  // Description:
  // Get a matrix that gives the "qform" orientation and offset for the data.
  // If no qform matrix was stored in the file, the return value is NULL.
  // This matrix will transform VTK data coordinates into the NIFTI oriented
  // data coordinates, where +X points right, +Y points anterior (toward the
  // front), and +Z points superior (toward the head). The qform matrix will
  // always have a positive determinant. The offset that is stored in the
  // matrix gives the position of the first pixel in the first slice of the
  // VTK image data.  Note that if QFac is -1, then the first slice in the
  // VTK image data is the last slice in the NIFTI file, and the Z offset
  // will automatically be adjusted to compensate for this.
  vtkMatrix4x4 *GetQFormMatrix() { return this->QFormMatrix; }

  // Description:
  // Get a matrix that gives the "sform" orientation and offset for the data.
  // If no sform matrix was stored in the file, the return value is NULL.
  // Like the qform matrix, this matrix will transform VTK data coordinates
  // into a NIFTI coordinate system.  Unlike the qform matrix, the sform
  // matrix can contain scaling information and can even (rarely) have
  // a negative determinant, i.e. a flip.  This matrix is modified slightly
  // as compared to the sform matrix stored in the NIFTI header: the pixdim
  // pixel spacing is factored out.  Also, if QFac is -1, then the VTK slices
  // are in reverse order as compared to the NIFTI slices, hence as compared
  // to the sform matrix stored in the header, the third column of this matrix
  // is multiplied by -1 and the Z offset is shifted to compensate for the
  // fact that the last slice has become the first.

  static bool CheckExtension(const char *fname, const char *ext);

  // Description:

  // long, and must be lower case.  This method also verifies that
  // the file exists, and adds or subtracts a ".gz" as necessary
