reposition_brain: Reposition brain slices

In ggseg: Plotting Tool for Brain Atlases

Reposition brain slices

Description

Function for repositioning pre-joined atlas data (i.e. data and atlas already joined to a single data frame). This makes it possible for users to reposition the geometry data for the atlas for control over final plot layout. For even more detailed control over the positioning, the "hemi" and "view" columns should be converted into factors and ordered by wanted order of appearance.

Usage

reposition_brain(
  data,
  position = "horizontal",
  nrow = NULL,
  ncol = NULL,
  views = NULL
)

Arguments

data	sf-data.frame of joined brain atlas and data
position	Position formula for slices. For cortical atlases, use formulas like 'hemi ~ view'. For subcortical/tract atlases, use "horizontal", "vertical", or 'type ~ .' for type-based layout.
nrow	Number of rows for grid layout (subcortical/tract only)
ncol	Number of columns for grid layout (subcortical/tract only)
views	Character vector specifying view order (subcortical/tract only)

Value

sf-data.frame with re-positioned slices

Examples

reposition_brain(dk(), hemi ~ view)
reposition_brain(dk(), view ~ hemi)
reposition_brain(dk(), hemi + view ~ .)
reposition_brain(dk(), . ~ hemi + view)


reposition_brain(aseg(), nrow = 2)
reposition_brain(aseg(), views = c("sagittal", "axial_3"))
