surfdist 0.15.5

For calculating exact geodesic distances on cortical surface meshes

surfdist

Calculate the exact geodesic distance on a triangular surface mesh using the gdist package, which is based on the c++ library.

Installation

pip install surfdist

Example

import nibabel as nib
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import os
import surfdist as sd
from surfdist import viz, load, utils, analysis

# calculate and display distance from central sulcus at each node:
cmap = 'coolwarm'

# load central sulcus nodes

# calculate distance

# visualize
