reference_file: (an existing file name)
        provide a dicom or nifti image as the reference for the program to
         figure out the image orientation information. if no such info was
         found in the given image header, the next 5 options -info, etc.,

         infinite circle and take long time to stop. this option allows
         setting a limit for the longest tracking steps (voxels)
        argument: ``-limit %d``
dsi: (a boolean)
         specify the input odf data is dsi. because dsi recon uses fixed

        argument: ``-dsi``
image_orientation_vectors: (a list of from 6 to 6 items which are a
          float)
        specify image orientation vectors. if just one argument given,

         the file. if 6 arguments are given, will treat them as 6 float
         numbers and construct the 1st and 2nd vector and calculate the 3rd

         3 letters with no space in between.
         for example, RAS means the voxel row is from L->R, the column
         is from P->A and the slice order is from I->S.
         by default voxel order is determined by the image orientation
         (but NOT guaranteed to be correct because of various standards).
         for example, siemens axial image is LPS, coronal image is LIP and
         sagittal image is PIL.
         this information also is NOT needed for tracking but will be saved
         in the track file and is essential for track display to map onto
         the right coordinates

        argument: ``%s``
