The behaviour of a number of aspects of MRtrix3 can be controlled by
the user via the MRtrix3 configuration file. Note, that this file is distinct
from the build configuration file that is generated as part of the MRtrix3
installation, but rather is used to specify default settings for a number of
parameters, many of which relate to data visualisation when using mrview
.
For all available configurable options, please refer to the configuration file options page.
MRtrix3 applications will attempt to read configuration information from a two
locations. The system-wide configuration file /etc/mrtrix.conf
is read
first if present, followed by the user-specific configuration
~/.mrtrix.conf
. If both system and user-specific configuration files
exist, the parameters specified in the two configuration files will be
aggregated, with user-specified configuration options taking precedence in the
case of a conflict. In the case that a particular configuration parameter is
not defined, MRtrix3 will resort to hard-coded defaults.
The configuration files are text files, with each line containing a key: value pair. For example
Analyse.LeftToRight: false NumberOfThreads: 2
Note
Key names are case-sensitive.
The value entry may be interpreted by MRtrix3 applications as either:
Boolean
: allowed values here are true or falseInteger
: any integer valueFloating-point
: any floating-point valueText
: any text string, without any further interpretation
