Connectome

Connectome is an open-source visualization and discovery tool used to explore data generated by the Human Connectome Project. The distribution includes wb_view, a GUI-based visualization platform, and wb_command, a command-line program for performing a variety of algorithmic tasks using volume, surface, and grayordinate data.

Usage

Usage on Pitzer

Set-up

To configure your environment for use of connectome, run the following command: module load connectome. The default version will be loaded. To select a particular connectome version, use module load connectome/version. For example, use module load connectome/1.5.0 to load Connectome 1.5.0.

If you want the hardware-accelerated 3D graphics, use these on a compute node with a GPU:

module load virutalgl/2.6.5
module load connectome
viglrun wb_view

The command will open the GUI environment, thus we recommend Ondemand VDI or Desktop.
