Overview

About

Maintained by Michael HallquistFirst published 2022-11-044 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

A 'ggplot2'-consistent approach to generating 2D displays of volumetric brain imaging data. Display data from multiple NIfTI images using standard 'ggplot2' conventions such scales, limits, and themes to control the appearance of displays. The resulting plots are returned as 'patchwork' objects, inheriting from 'ggplot', allowing for any standard modifications of display aesthetics supported by 'ggplot2'.
