Project description

Retinal maps can take several hours to construct by hand or with proprietary software, and have been the industry standard for over thirty five years—they appear in hundreds of publications. With our software, a researcher can produce many maps in one hour, make consistent comparisons, and generate useful statistics.

Installation

Download the latest release
Open R and set the working directory with setwd("~/Downloads/retina") the unzipped retina folder. Make sure the path in quotes within setwd matches your path.
Run source("main.R"). This will run the sample map.

It may complain that you don't have the right packages. To install them run e.g. install.packages("ggplot2").
