guess.transform.format

Guess the format of a transformation file from its extension and its content. Content is needed
because the extension '.mat' is used by FSL for text matrices and by ANTs/ITK for binary transformations,
which have nothing in common. A file that is identified as an ITK/ANTs transformation is reported as such
instead of failing with a parse error, since that format is not supported yet.

Provides functions to read and write neuroimaging data in various file formats, with a focus on 'FreeSurfer' formats. This includes, but is not limited to, the following file formats: 1) MGH/MGZ/NIFTI format files, which can contain multi-dimensional images or other data. Typically they contain time-series of three-dimensional brain scans acquired by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). They can also contain vertex-wise measures of surface morphometry data. The MGH format is named after the Massachusetts General Hospital, and the MGZ format is a compressed version of the same format. 2) 'FreeSurfer' morphometry data files in binary 'curv' format. These contain vertex-wise surface measures, i.e., one scalar value for each vertex of a brain surface mesh. These are typically values like the cortical thickness or brain surface area at each vertex. 3) Annotation file format. This contains a brain surface parcellation derived from a cortical atlas. 4) Surface file format. Contains a brain surface mesh, given by a list of vertices and a list of faces.
