[FieldTrip] How to adapt a layout file: thanks for the solution

[Sprenger, S.A.]

Dear Jan-Mathijs,

Thank you very much for your response with respect to the adaption of
layout files. The solution that you suggested works fine and our issue has
been solved. In case someone would like to review the question and
response, please see below.

Kind regards,
  Simone

Hi Simone,

What is the question behind the question?

The reason I ask this is because overcomplete layout files (i.e. files
containing more channels than you need) don?t prevent you from visualizing
your own data.

If you anyhow want to manually remove channels (and the corresponding
information in pos/height etc) your code is not foolproof, most likely
because setdiff may inadvertently alphabetize the labels, causing the
mismatch you report.

you could do:

remove = {?};
sel = ismember(lay.label, remove);

lay.pos = lay.pos(~sel,:);
lay.height = lay.height(~sel);

etc.

Best,
Jan-Mathijs

Dear colleagues,

I was wondering whether someone could give us some advice on how to adapt
an existing layout file.

We would like to adapt easycapM1.mat, as our own layout is highly similar.
Specifically, we would like to remove F1, F2, FT7, FT8, TP7, TP8, CP1 and
CP2. In addition, we would like to add the mastoids (for ICA plotting
purposes).

We tried the following:

% removing F1, F2, FT7, FT8, TP7, TP8, CP1, CP2:
load('/Volumes/DATA/Applications/fieldtrip-20170425/template/layout/
easycapM1.mat');

% this plots the layout with electrodes on the correct positions:
cfg = [];
cfg.layout = lay;
ft_layoutplot(cfg);

for i = {'F1', 'F2', 'FT7', 'FT8', 'TP7', 'TP8', 'CP1', 'CP2'}
    [truefalse, index] = ismember(i, lay.label);
    if truefalse == 1
        lay.label = setdiff(lay.label, lay.label{index});
        lay.width = lay.width([1:(index-1), (index+1):end]);
        lay.height = lay.height([1:(index-1), (index+1):end]);
        lay.pos = lay.pos([1:(index-1), (index+1):end],:);
    end
end

% now suddenly many electrodes are plotted on wrong locations,
% but we just wanted to remove some electrodes:
cfg = [];
cfg.layout = lay;
ft_layoutplot(cfg);

Comments and suggestions will be much appreciated.

Kind regards,
  Simone
