NIfTI-2 header file - C header file that defines the NIfTI-2 format (not final)

@afni-rickr should cifti and nifti-2 have some documentation added about the intended use?

hjmjohnson commented 5 years ago

Rick,

This is also related to #12 . Could you provide a bit of feedback on the desired inclusion of the cifti and nifti2 with respect to their maturity and the desire to include them as CMake build options.

Thanks, Hans

We have not written almost any translation code in AFNI to be able to read and write CIFTI datasets (translating to/from AFNI format). Consequently, the cifti code does not really see use, and so it cannot be called mature.

The gifti library has been used quite a bit, though we have still not switched to GIFTI as our "native" surface file format (that is still NIML, an AFNI-specific format). Maybe I should set afni_proc.py up to do that, as well as 3dVol2Surf. But that library is pretty mature.
