surface_to_triangles: Convert Freesurfer Surface to Triangles
In neuroconductor-devel-releases/freesurfer: Wrapper Functions for 'Freesurfer'

Description Usage Arguments Value Examples

Reads in a surface file from Freesurfer and converts it into triangles

1	surface_to_triangles(infile, ...)

`infile`	Input surface file
`...`	additional arguments to pass to `convert_surface`

Matrix of triangles with the number of rows equal to the number of faces (not the triplets - total faces)
