Function Documentation

readMFF()

int readMFF	(	Bimage *	p,
		int	readdata
	)

Reading a MFF image format.

Parameters

*p	the image structure.
readdata	flag to activate reading of image data.

Returns

int error code (<0 means failure). A 3D file format developed with the What If molecular dynamics package. Header size: 268 bytes (fixed). File format extensions: .mff. Byte order determination: The third dimension must be less than 256*256. Data type: float. Special features: The MFF files are written with double integers separating different records by What If.
This was solved by adding "padding" fields in the header and adding 8 bytes to every page (= section) offset. The data is stored as 2D pages separated by 8 bytes.

writeMFF()

int writeMFF

(

Bimage *

p

)

Writeing a MFF image format.

Parameters

*p	the image structure.

Returns

int error code (<0 means failure). A 3D file format developed with the What If molecular dynamics package.
