writeAFNI

Description

This function saves a afni-class object to HEAD/BRIK pair in AFNI format.

Usage

writeAFNI(nim, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'afni'
writeAFNI(nim, fname, verbose = FALSE, warn = -1)

Arguments

nim

is an object of class afni.

...

Additional variables defined by the method.

fname

is the path and file name to save the AFNI file (.HEAD/BRIK) without the suffix.

verbose

is a logical variable (default = FALSE) that allows text-based feedback during execution of the function.

warn

is a number to regulate the display of warnings (default = -1). See options for more details.

Details

The writeAFNI function utilizes the internal writeBin and writeLines command to write information to header/binary file pair.

DT SIGNED SHORT (16 bits per voxel)

FLOAT32"

DT FLOAT (32 bits per voxel)

"COMPLEX128"

DT COMPLEX (128 bits per voxel)

Value
