A pre-configured ggplot2 template with a minimal theme optimised for neuroanatomy visualisations. This object provides a clean base with no axes, grids, or extraneous elements, allowing the focus to remain on the neuroanatomical structures. Plot background is transparent (which is really annoying to do with an rgl plot, via with rgl.postscript)
Format
A ggplot2 object with:
coord_fixed()
Maintains aspect ratio for accurate morphology
theme_void()

- No legends
Guides for fill and colour are hidden
- No axes
All axis elements removed
- No grids
Panel grids removed

Details
Use gganat
as the base for neuroanatomy plots instead of ggplot()
.
Simply add your geom_neuron()
layers to this base object.
Examples
if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
gganat + nat.ggplot::geom_neuron(banc.skels, rotation_matrix = banc_view)
} # }
