cifti.nifti.header.for.axes: Build the NIFTI-2 header of a CIFTI-2 file.

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

Build the NIFTI-2 header of a CIFTI-2 file.

Description

CIFTI-2 files are NIFTI-2 files whose header has a fixed shape: the matrix dimensions are stored in the dim field (dimension 0 in dim[5], dimension 1 in dim[6], which is why dim[0] is 6 for a two-dimensional matrix), the intent code names the file type, the voxel sizes, the scaling and the geometry fields are unused (the geometry of a CIFTI-2 file is in its XML), and the data start after the header extension that holds the XML.

Usage

cifti.nifti.header.for.axes(axes, intent_code, intent_name)

Arguments

axes	list of axes, see cifti.header.from.axes.
intent_code	integer, the NIFTI intent code of the file type, see cifti.file.types.
intent_name	character string, the NIFTI intent name of the file type.

Value

a named list, a NIFTI-2 header as returned by read.nifti2.header.
