miset_props_blocking/miget_props_blocking

NAME

miset_props_blocking, miget_props_blocking - get or set the blocking 
structure properties for a volume property list.

SYNOPSIS

#include <minc2.h>

int miset_props_blocking(mivolumeprops_t        props, 
                         int                    edge_count,
                         const int              *edge_lengths);

int miget_props_blocking(mivolumeprops_t        props, 
                         int                    *edge_count, 
                         int                    *edge_lengths, 
                         int                    max_lengths);

DESCRIPTION

Gets or sets the block-structuring properties of a volume property
list.  If this option is set on a MINC volume, image data will be
stored in a series of 2D or 3D chunks rather than as a simple linear
array.

This option is enabled implicitly whenever compression is enabled - all
compressed volumes must be block-structured.

RETURN VALUE

Returns MI_NOERROR on success, MI_ERROR on failure
