sph2fs: Transform spherical coordinates to FreeSurfer surface space to plot things around a brain.

Description

Transform spherical coordinates to FreeSurfer surface space to plot things around a brain.

Usage

sph2fs(
  lon,
  lat,
  radius = surf.radius.fsaverage(),
  center = surf.center.fsaverage(),
  deg = TRUE
)

Arguments

lon

numerical vector, the longitudes, passed to sphereplot::sph2car. See 'deg' for unit information.

lat

numerical vector, the latitudes, passed to sphereplot::sph2car. See 'deg' for unit information.

radius

numerical vector, the radii, passed to sphereplot::sph2car. Defaults to the radius of the combined mesh from the fsaverage lh and rh surfaces.

center

numerical vector of length 3, the x, y, and z coordinates of the target center. The sphereplot::sph2car function operates on the unit sphere, and this parameter is used to translate the resulting cartesian coordinates to a new center, typically the center of the surface meshes or MRI volume or substructures. If you want no translation, pass c(0,0,0).

deg

logical, whether to use degrees (as opposed to radians) as the unit for 'lat' and 'lon'. Passed to sphereplot::sph2car.

Examples

Run this code
if (FALSE) {
    # Draw voxels on a sphere around fsaverage:
    lat = seq.int(from=0, to=360, by=30);
    lon = rep(0, length(lat));
    vis.fs.surface('~/software/freesurfer/subjects/fsaverage/surf/lh.white');
    fsbrain::rglvoxels(sph2fs(lat, lon), voxelcol = 'red');
    fsbrain::rglvoxels(sph2fs(lon, lat), voxelcol = 'green');
}
