Description

  • Values that were previously selected using a config_opts dictionary in the Brain constructor are now keyword arguments. This should make it easier to use tab-completion in IPython, and will generally simplify your scripts. To ease transition, a config_opts argument will still be caught, and its entries will be used (overriding the keyword arguments), but it will be removed in a future release.
  • The ability to set default values in a config file has been removed. While convenient, this approach encourages code that is not fully reproducible. While existing code that was written expecting a config file will still run, the visualization will fall back to default values. These should be updated directly in your plotting scripts.
  • Figure size is now specified only through the size keyword argument of :class:Brain. To make a rectangular window, pass a (width, height) tuple. Passing a single value to size will still make a square window.
  • The cortex keyword argument can now be a mayavi colormap name or a (colormap, min, max, reverse) tuple for full control.
  • Morphometry plotting was made more flexible with the ability to pass a specific colormap and anchor points for that colormap. Additionally, the default anchor points now use robust statistics to give better values.
  • Contour overlay plotting was made more flexible by adding keyword arguments to control whether a colorbar should be shown and whether existing contour overlays should be removed before plotting.
