[Rtk-users] Cannot reconstruct the volume, what might be the problem?

Thank you for the clarification and confirmation of the minus sign here.

To me the source of confusion is the description of --proj_iso_x and
--proj_iso_x in the command line (or from the GGO file):

> option "proj_iso_x"  - "X coordinate on the projection image of
> isocenter"     double no  default="0"
> option "proj_iso_y"  - "Y coordinate on the projection image of
> isocenter"     double no  default="0"

If one read this, he may give positive values to the two arguments since
"the coordinates of isocenter in the projection image coordinate system"
are positive.

I did not suggest the redundance. I meant the way how the tranlation is
calculated (source_# - proj_iso_#) proves that proj_iso_# is projection
origin wrt isocenter, not the other way around (then the right form will be
source_# + proj_iso_#).
