nat.templatebrains (version 0.6.1)

nat.templatebrains-package: NeuroAnatomy Toolbox add-on package for handling template brains

Description

This package provides a class templatebrain that stores key information about reference brains along with helper functions to simplify transformation of data between template brains (a.k.a bridging) and mirroring of data within a template brain.

Helper functions

Easy-to-use functions for transforming data from one template brain to another, displaying slices alongside 3D data, etc. are provided. See especially xform_brain, mirror_brain and plot3d.templatebrain.

Package options

• options('nat.templatebrains.regdirs') specifies a character vector of directories containing registrations.

It is strongly recommended

• to use thedownload_reg_repoto download registration folders where possible. This will automatically add the new folders to this option both in the current session and on package startup.
• to useadd_reg_foldersto add additional directories to the search list.

Note that registration directories will be searched in the order that they are listed. It is therefore strongly recommended that individual registrations have globally unique names.
