Plot a neuron in the BANC connectomic dataset using ggplot2

This function visualizes a neuron or neuron-related object from the BANC connectomic dataset using ggplot2. The only thing specific to the BANC data set is are the prreset 'view' angles.

Usage

banc_ggneuron(
  x,
  volume = NULL,
  info = NULL,
  view = c("main", "side", "front", "vnc", "vnc_side", "brain_side"),
  cols1 = c("turquoise", "navy"),
  cols2 = c("grey75", "grey50"),
  alpha = 0.5,
  title.col = "darkgrey",
  ...
)

Arguments

x: A 'neuron', 'neuronlist', 'mesh3d', or 'hxsurf' object to be visualized.
volume: A brain/neuropil volume to be plotted in grey, for context. Defaults to NULL, no volume plotted.
info: Optional. A string to be used as the plot title.
view: A character string specifying the view orientation. Options are "main", "side", "front", "vnc", "vnc_side", "brain_side".
cols1: A vector of two colors for the lowest Z values. Default is c("turquoise", "navy").
cols2: A vector of two colors for the highest Z values. Default is c("grey75", "grey50").
alpha: Transparency of the neuron visualization. Default is 0.5.
title.col: Color of the plot title. Default is "darkgrey".
...: Additional arguments passed to geom_neuron().

Value

A ggplot object representing the visualized neuron.

Details

This function is a wrapper around the ggneuron function, specifically tailored for the BANC dataset. It applies a rotation matrix based on the specified view and uses predefined color schemes.
