ggseg.extra now builds cortical brain atlases directly from the mesh geometry! A 150-region Destrieux atlas tok 9 seconds. No screenshots, no ImageMagick, no headless browser.

Same Destrieux atlas: 53,000 vertices before, 6,000 after. The borders are smoother with fewer vertices because the geometry is right from the start.

ggseg.extra is part of the #ggsegverse ecosystem for brain visualization in R. Dev version on GitHub.

Create Brain Atlases for the ggsegverse Plotting Ecosystem

Create brain atlas data sets compatible with the ggsegverse plotting packages in R. Provides pipelines for building cortical, subcortical, and white-matter tract atlases from FreeSurfer annotation files, GIFTI and CIFTI surface formats, neuromaps, and volumetric NIfTI images.

New ggsegverse update!

I finally got around to pre-release new ggseg.extra (notice name change) package, for creating new atlases.

It's full of new features, and likely lots of new bugs.
I'd love folks to test how it works, I've really tried making things more robust and I hope its payed off!
