SIM_GENERATOR

A little command line utility to generate pattern images for structured illumination microscopy

Installation

Head over to the release page and download the latest executable pattern_gen.exe.

Usage

Minimum usage

From the directory that pattern_gen.exe is in

pattern_gen <image_height> <image_width> <pattern_bar_width> --phase_shifts <n_shifts>

Example with all arguments

pattern_gen 256 256 16 --phase_shifts 3 --output_directory D:\SIM_GENERATOR\DemoPatterns --orientation horizontal --file_format jpg --bits 8 --full_depth True

Will generate the following images

phi_01.jpg	phi_02.jpg	phi_03.jpg
