FAQPage Schema
How do I structure brain atlas data for tidyverse-compatible visualization in R?

Brain atlas data structures require a unified format with type polymorphism across cortical, subcortical, and tract atlases using a validation-first approach to ensure tidyverse-compatible visualization in R.

What is the development architecture for the ggseg brain visualization ecosystem?

The ggseg architecture defines structured patterns for core data structures, validation, and rendering workflows across components like ggseg, ggseg3d, ggseg.formats, and ggsegExtra to align collaboration and quality.

Can I use ggseg packages to render both 2D and 3D brain visualizations?

Yes, the ggseg ecosystem supports both 2D and 3D brain rendering through its core components, utilizing design patterns for htmlwidgets and tidyverse integration to generate reproducible visual outputs.

What testing conventions should I follow when extending ggseg atlas components?

Extending ggseg atlas components requires following specific testing conventions outlined in the development guide to ensure reproducible results and maintain quality across the visualization ecosystem.

Do I need frontmatter metadata to create custom brain atlas packages in R?

Yes, custom brain atlas packages require frontmatter metadata as part of the structured documentation to define core data structures, design philosophy, and validation patterns for ecosystem integration.
