cifti.dim.labels: Get axis labels for a matrix dimension of a CIFTI-2 file.

In freesurferformats: Read and Write 'FreeSurfer' Neuroimaging File Formats

Get axis labels for a matrix dimension of a CIFTI-2 file.

Description

Get a label for each index of one matrix dimension of a CIFTI-2 file, e.g. the map names of a .dscalar, the parcel names of a .pconn or identifiers for the grayordinates of a dense file. This is what read.cifti uses to name the dimensions of the data array.

Usage

cifti.dim.labels(cii, dim = 0L)

Arguments

cii	an fs.cifti instance, see read.cifti.header.
dim	integer, the matrix dimension to get the brain models for. CIFTI-2 files have two dimensions, so this is usually 0 (Workbench calls it the ROW dimension) or 1 (the COLUMN dimension). See read.cifti.header for details on the dimensions.

Value

character vector of length cii$matrix$dim_sizes[dim + 1], the labels, or NULL if no labels are known for this kind of dimension.
