Simple R package for interaction with Amira 3D visualisation software originally developed by Zuse Institute Berlin.

The main functionality is to allow neuron and surface objects in R to be opened in Amira for 3D visualisation and rendering.

Installation

Currently there isn’t a released version on CRAN, but you can use the devtools package to install the development version:

if (!require("devtools")) install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("jefferis/nat.amira")

Note: Windows users need Rtools and devtools to install this way.
