Defines functions nii2RData

Documented in nii2RData

#' Read NIfTI Image(s) File(s) into R data
#'
#' This function can take NIfTI data file(s) (the file extension is "nii.gz" or "nii") as input
#' (you only need to specify the name of file before extension) and transform them
#' into RData file(s) (in the form of .RData).
#' @author Xubo Yue, Chia-Wei Hsu (tester), Jian Kang (maintainer)
#' @param niiFile1 the NIfTI data file(s) (containing information of fMRI of patient(s))
#' you would like to use. If you want to read more than one file, you can either type in the name in
#' the form of vector string, or call this function for several times.
#' @param resolution the resolution of your region data. It can take "2mm" as default.
#' If user would like to use 3mm resolution, type in "3mm".
#' @param saveName whether to save processed imaging data.
#' If you do not have enough space or do not want to use space to store processed data,
#' just type in "None" (default); otherwise you need to specify name in this argument.
#' For example, saveName="myName.RData".
#' @param regionCode the region code provided by user or default.
#' It should have 3 columns with index, region code and region name.
#' @param niiFile2 the NIfTI region file you would like to use. It has default NIfTI file
#' and can be left as blank if no region file provided.
#' @param imgPath the directory where your NIfTI file(s) is (are) located.
#' It chooses your current working directory as default.
#' @param datPath the directory where you would like to store .RData file(s).
#' It chooses your current working directory as default.
#' @return the processed imaging data.
#' @details This function must accept the NIfTI imaging data as argument to manipulate
#' the raw data to processed R data. The file extension is "nii.gz" or "nii".
#' You only need to specify the name of file without extension in the function argument.
#' For example, your interested imaging file is called "brain.nii.gz" or "brain.nii".
#' You only need to write niiFile1="brain" in the first argument rather than "brain.nii.gz"
#' or something else. The package can either use its default region code and region data
#' or use user-defined region information. \cr
#' Here are some notes which may be useful: \cr
#' (1) When reading multiple imaging files, make sure they have the same resolution,
#' region code and region data.
#' (2) If you would like to read multiple imaging files, and if you did not use
#' saveName="None" argument, it can sometimes take a large storage. For example,
#' if you read 100 files, then 100 "RData" files will be generated and thus take
#' a large storage space. Thus, saveName="None" is highly recommended in this case.
