File Formats

MindSeer supports various common file formats. These formats were chosen to either maximize compatibility or when we need to make a custom format, XML was used. MindSeer will read files the are gzipped for all formats (add ".gz" to the extension).

Volume File Formats

• Analyze 7.5 (with SPM extensions)
• NIFTI

Model File Formats

• MAT file (version 4 or 5) with 2 data matrices (faces and vertices)
• Geomview (OFF format is supported and we plan support for MESH format.) A modified OFF format is the default output format, MindSeer_Model_Format).

Image File Formats

• MindSeer supports all image file formats that are in java.imageio.ImageIO. These include the built in formats (jpg, gif(read only), png, bmp, wbmp) and any formats that were installed separately.
