import_txt: Imports coordinates from a .txt file

Description

A wrapper around read.table that can be used to import outline/landmark coordinates.

Usage

import_txt(txt.paths = NULL, verbose = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

txt.paths
a vector of paths corresponding to the .txt files to import. If not provided (or NULL), switches to the automatic version, just as inimport_jpg. See Details there.
verbose
logical whether to print progress in the console
...
arguments to be passed to read.table, eg. 'skip', 'dec', etc.

Value

a list of matrix(ces) of (x; y) coordinates that can be passed to Out, Opn and Ldk.

Details

By default, it works with the default arguments of read.table, e.g. assumes that the columns are not named in the .txt files. You can tune this using the ... argument. Define the read.table arguments that allow to import a single file, and then pass them to this function.
