VertexColoredNeuroSurface

A three-dimensional surface consisting of a set of triangle vertices with one color per vertex.

Value

An object of class VertexColoredNeuroSurface.

Details

This class extends NeuroSurface by adding per-vertex coloring functionality. The colors slot contains a vector of hex color codes that define the color for each vertex. Unlike ColorMappedNeuroSurface, this class does not use a colormap or data mapping, but instead directly specifies colors for each vertex.

Slots

geometry

The surface geometry, an instance of SurfaceGeometry or SurfaceSet

indices

An integer vector specifying the subset of valid surface nodes encoded in the geometry object

colors

A character vector of hex color codes representing the color of each vertex
