read.vtk.legacy.polydata

Reads the geometry (points and the cell arrays VERTICES, LINES
and POLYGONS) of a VTK legacy file. Both the ASCII and the binary encoding
are supported, as are the old and the new cell array layout, see the comment
at the top of the file. Attribute data such as normals, texture coordinates
or scalars is ignored.

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.
