SpringRegister | repository contains the C source code used to perform

SpringRegister is a C++ library. SpringRegister has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Strong Copyleft License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

This repository contains the C++ source code used to perform spring registration of a flattened cortical surface to an ideal 2D model in Benson, Butt, Brainard, Aguirre (2014). This src directory contains the source code as well as a Makefile, which will build the springs executable file. This program is designed to compile and run on unix-like systems, and was tested on Mac OS X and Ubuntu. GNU Make version 3.81 and G++ (GCC) version 4.2.1 were used in building the executable. The standard math library (-lm) and POSIX (-lpthread) are also required for building. This program is intended for use in conjunction with the jobs written by the supplementary Mathematica notebook included in the publication cited above. The springs program is, in fact, a low-level program designed to increase speed and parallelization of the numerical integration used to simulate and minimize the spring system described in Benson et al. Many command line options to the springs program exist; these can be examined by calling springs -h or springs --help. If you are running simulations whose jobs were exported by the Mathematica notebook, then these options will be specified for you, and you may simply execute the run.sh file that is written. Note that this script expects a certain directory structure in which ROOT/jobs/JOB/run.sh is called from ROOT and in which ROOT/src contains the springs executable. This repository exemplifies this organization (i.e., this repository is a valid replacement for ROOT), and the jobs and results directories analyzed in Benson et al. are included.
