read_mps: read_mps

In marta-vidalgarcia/mesh_process: An R tool for batch-processing of meshes and landmark files for shape analyses

read_mps

Description

Imports *.mps files into an array of 3D landmarks.

Usage

read_mps(dir = NULL, ID = NULL, save.txt = FALSE)

Arguments

dir	optional variable that selects which directory the mps files should be imported from. The default is the current directory
ID	optional vector with IDs for each landmark matrix from the mps files
save.txt	optional. It saves each of the 3D landmark matrices as txt files, without row or column names.

Details

Takes multiple mps files and batch-imports them as a landmark. It can also save the landmarks for each specimen as txt files.

Examples

dir(pattern = "*.mps") # three mps files with five 3D landmarks each
land_array <- read_mps(dir = "./data")

# Remove "skull" from the ID name, so that the IDs are "spec1", "spec2", and "spec3".
land_array_2 <- read_mps(dir = "./data", save.txt = TRUE)

# Assign IDs for each landmark matrix.
ID_land <- c("specimen1", "specimen2", "specimen3")
land_array_3 <- read_mps(dir = "./data", ID = ID_land)
