FileFormat Class

This class represents a neuroimaging file format descriptor, containing information about the file format, encoding, and extensions for both header and data components.

Slots

file_format

A character string specifying the name of the file format (e.g., "NIfTI").

header_encoding

A character string specifying the file encoding of the header file (e.g., "raw" for binary, "gzip" for gz compressed).

header_extension

A character string specifying the file extension for the header file (e.g., "nii" for NIfTI single files).

data_encoding

A character string specifying the file encoding for the data file.

data_extension

A character string specifying the file extension for the data file (e.g., "nii" for NIfTI single files).

Examples

# Create a FileFormat object for NIfTI format
nifti_format <- new("FileFormat",
                    file_format = "NIfTI",
                    header_encoding = "raw",
                    header_extension = "nii",
                    data_encoding = "raw",
                    data_extension = "nii")
