Mike,

What is an MD2 file?

Is it a version of an MDPlot file which contains contours ?

I can see 'MD2File' in the source code, and I'm willing to write my  
own code if necessary.


Very interested in hearing a reply,

Hi John,

By MD2 file, I did mean an MDPlot file.  Whether or not it contains  
contours depends on your definition of contour.  I think its more  
accurate to say that it contains points, and it seems well  
represented by caret_files/MDPlotFile.h.


In my lab, we use the MD2 plotting system, which produces one file  
for each section plotted.  Each file consists of a list of points.   
Each point is represented by (I believe) 7 shorts: x, y, mode,  
type, marker_size, pen, and an unused value.


My understanding of Caret is limited.  What I thought I needed to  
do was read in my MD2 files, and export them as a Caret Contour File.


Mike




The Caret contour file should not be difficult to create.  The format  
of the Caret contour file is described at http://brainmap.wustl.edu/ 
caret/caret5.5_help/file_formats/file_formats.html#ContourFile


Caret reads the MDPlot Object file which is a text file and uses the  
.mdo file name extension.  Its format is described on page 37 of  
http://www.accustage.com/Downloads/MDPlotManualV5.pdf


A tutorial on working with contours in Caret is available from http:// 
brainmap.wustl.edu/caret/pdf/caret5.5_contours_tutorial.pdf
