This class contains meta information for surface-based data (the values that map to a surface geometry)

Value

An object of class SurfaceDataMetaInfo.

Slots

header_file

name of the file containing meta information

data_file

name of the file containing data

file_descriptor

descriptor of image file format

node_count

the number of nodes for which surface data exists

nels

the number of data vectors (typically the number of columns in the surface data matrix; nels = 1 for a single surface data set)

label

a label indicating the type of surface (e.g. white, pial, inflated, flat, spherical)

Examples

# \donttest{
meta_info <- new("SurfaceDataMetaInfo",
                 header_file = "data_header.txt",
                 data_file = "surface_data.1D",
                 file_descriptor = new("FileFormat"),
                 node_count = length(nodes(geometry)),
                 nels = 1L,
                 label = "thickness")
