Figure Generator

This project helps create high quality figures for medical images for use in presentations and/or manuscripts.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/CBICA/FigureGenerator.git
cd screenshot_maker
conda create -n venv_screenshot python=3.7 -y
conda activate venv_screenshot
pip install -e .

OR directly via Pip:

pip install FigureGenerator

Usage

python ./figure_generator -h
usage: FigureGenerator [-h] -images IMAGES [-masks MASKS] [-opacity OPACITY]
                       [-ylabels YLABELS] -output OUTPUT [-axisrow AXISROW]
                       [-boundtype BOUNDTYPE] [-fontsize FONTSIZE]
                       [-borderpc BORDERPC] [-v]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -images IMAGES        Input image files (comma-separated without any spaces in path and co-registered)
  -masks MASKS          Mask files (comma-separated without any spaces in path and co-registered with images); if multiple files are passed, first is ground truth
  -opacity OPACITY      Mask opacity between 0-1
  -ylabels YLABELS      The comma-separated ylabels that will be displayed on the subplots' y-axis
  -output OUTPUT        Output screenshot file
  -axisrow AXISROW      Put all axes views across each column and stack images and blends in rows, defaults to False
  -boundtype BOUNDTYPE  Construct bounding box around specified region; can be 'none, image or mask'
  -fontsize FONTSIZE    Font size for all text on the figure
  -borderpc BORDERPC    Percentage of size to use as border around bounding box (used only when mask and bounded are defined)
  -v, --version         Show program's version number and exit.

Examples

Vertical screenshot of multiple images without bounding:

python ./figure_generator \
-images C:/input/subject_001_flair.nii.gz,C:/input/subject_001_t1ce.nii.gz,C:/input/subject_001_t1.nii.gz,C:/input/subject_001_t2.nii.gz \
-masks C:/input/subject_001_seg.nii.gz \
-axisrow False \
-output C:/input/fig.png 

Gives the following output:

Horizontal screenshot of multiple images without bounding:

python ./figure_generator \
-images C:/input/subject_001_flair.nii.gz,C:/input/subject_001_t1ce.nii.gz,C:/input/subject_001_t1.nii.gz,C:/input/subject_001_t2.nii.gz \
-masks C:/input/subject_001_seg.nii.gz \
-axisrow True \
-output C:/input/fig.png 

Gives the following output:

Horizontal screenshot of multiple images with image-based bounding:

python ./figure_generator \
-images C:/input/subject_001_flair.nii.gz,C:/input/subject_001_t1ce.nii.gz,C:/input/subject_001_t1.nii.gz,C:/input/subject_001_t2.nii.gz \
-masks C:/input/subject_001_seg.nii.gz \
-axisrow True \
-boundtype image \
-output C:/input/fig.png 

Gives the following output:

Note: This can be used with vertical orientation as well, by passing -axisrow False to the command.
