read.fs.surface.byu {freesurferformats}

Read mesh in BYU format.

Description

The BYU or Brigham Young University format is an old ASCII mesh format that is based on fixed character positions in lines (as opposed to whitespace-separated elements). I consider it a bit counter-intuitive.

Usage

read.fs.surface.byu(filepath, part = 1L)

Arguments

filepath

full path of the file in BYU format.

part

positive integer, the index of the mesh that should be loaded from the file. Only relevant if the file contains more than one mesh.

Value

an 'fs.surface' instance, aka a mesh
