This is for soley reslicing images, but it has a nice description of how to create a basic transformation matrix.

| I would like to batch resample some volume images to isotropic

| would permit me to write out a resampled volume with a user specified voxel
| size dimensions? I know this core function is implicit in several
| modules. I considered using Coregister or Spatial Normalization modules
| but these require a target or template volume of the desired resolution
| which doesn't always exist in my application.
| Many thanks for any suggestions.
You could try the attached function that I've just scribbled together. It
hasn't been tested, so I hope it works.
Best regards,

The attached function is here reslice.m and below
function reslice(PI,PO,dim,mat,hld)
% FORMAT reslice(PI,PO,dim,mat,hld)
% PI - input filename
% PO - output filename
% dim - 1x3 matrix of image dimensions
% mat - 4x4 affine transformation matrix mapping
% from vox to mm (for output image).
% To define M from vox and origin, then
% off = -vox.*origin;
% M = [vox(1) 0 0 off(1)
% 0 vox(2) 0 off(2)
% 0 0 vox(3) off(3)
% 0 0 0 1];
%
% hld - interpolation method.
