read.vtk.legacy.polydata: Read a VTK legacy file with a POLYDATA dataset.
In freesurferformats: Read and Write 'FreeSurfer' Neuroimaging File Formats
read.vtk.legacy.polydata R Documentation
Read a VTK legacy file with a POLYDATA dataset.
Description
Reads the geometry (points and the cell arrays VERTICES, LINES
and POLYGONS) of a VTK legacy file. Both the ASCII and the binary encoding
are supported, as are the old and the new cell array layout, see the comment
at the top of the file. Attribute data such as normals, texture coordinates
or scalars is ignored.
Usage
read.vtk.legacy.polydata(filepath)
Arguments
filepath
character string, path to the VTK file.
Value
named list with the entries 'version' (character, the VTK version from
the header), 'encoding' (character, 'ASCII' or 'BINARY'), 'points' (n x 3
double matrix, or NULL), 'verts', 'lines' and 'polys' (each a list of
integer vectors with 0-based vertex indices, or NULL if the file does not
contain that cell type), and 'ignored_sections' (character vector with the
keywords of the sections that were not read, e.g. 'POINT_DATA').
