ggseg3d 2.1.1

CRAN release: 2026-04-22

Bug fixes

  • Cortical hemispheres are now rendered anatomically side-by-side (LH at negative x, RH at positive x, medial edges at the midline) regardless of the mesh source. Previously, both hemispheres overlapped at the origin because ggseg.formats inflated meshes and ggseg.meshes pial/white/etc. surfaces arrived in different axis conventions. resolve_brain_mesh() now normalises to the shared x = LR, y = AP, z = SI frame and separates hemispheres at x = 0.
  • set_positioning() no longer wrongly shifts subcortical meshes whose region names happen to contain “Left”/“Right” (e.g. Left-Thalamus); it only repositions cortical meshes named "<hemi> <surface>".
  • add_glassbrain() warns and skips when the widget already contains a flat (2D) mesh such as a cerebellar flatmap, since flatmaps share no coordinate frame with anatomical 3D meshes.
  • add_glassbrain() now defaults to surface = "inflated" so it works without ggseg.meshes installed (inflated ships with ggseg.formats).

Documentation

  • Replaced \dontrun{} wrappers in widget-construction examples with executable code so examples run under R CMD check and render inline in pkgdown. Examples that require rgl (Suggests) are now gated with @examplesIf rlang::is_installed("rgl").
  • Added LICENSE.note documenting the bundled Three.js and OrbitControls libraries and credited their authors in Authors@R.

Internal

  • Removed the native_offset() / to_native_coords() / position_hemisphere() helpers. They were workarounds for the previous axis-convention mismatch and are no longer needed now that all meshes share a single frame.

ggseg3d 2.1.0

CRAN release: 2026-04-09

Cerebellar atlas support

  • New cerebellar_atlas class with prepare_brain_meshes.cerebellar_atlas() method for rendering SUIT cerebellar surfaces with vertex-based colouring.
  • Mixed vertex+mesh rendering for deep cerebellar nuclei: the SUIT surface renders at 30% opacity with opaque per-region meshes for deep structures.
  • surface_opacity parameter controls cerebellar surface transparency when deep nuclei are present.
  • Cortical mesh data moved to the ‘ggseg.meshes’ package, removing bundled sysdata.rda.
