Curious about the name of some phantoms

AngieNicole-Hernandez opened this issue · comments

Hello, thank you for making available this interesting and useful tool.

I have a question about the generation of some phantoms. Each phantoms is identified by its seed, however, sometimes the seed is preceded by a "-" (I guess we could say that some phantoms have negative seeds). I have noticed that including the "-" with the rest of the seed is necessary to use that phantom on the rest of the VICTRE pipeline.

I am curios about this "-", does it affect the treatment of that phantom on the rest of the VICTRE pipeline? Does it indicate something?

Hello, Ye there will be phantoms with negative seeds, and the unique ID of the phantom is identified along with the "-" sign preceding the seed value. In order to process phantoms correctly throughout the pipeline, you need to pass the seed value as-is along with any "-" signs for phantoms containing negative seed value as IDs.
