nat: NeuroAnatomy Toolbox

An R package for the (3D) visualisation and analysis of biological image data, especially tracings of single neurons. nat is the core package of a wider suite of neuroanatomy tools introduced at http://natverse.github.io. nat (and its ancestors) have been used in a number of papers from our group including:
Quick Start
For the impatient ...
```r
install
install.packages("nat")
use
library(nat)
plot some test data (?kcs20 for details)
Drosophila Kenyon cells processed from raw data formerly available at
flycircuit.tw
head(kcs20) open3d() plot3d(kcs20, col=type)
get help
?nat ```
Installation
A confirmed stable version of nat can be installed from CRAN.
r
install.packages("nat")
`
However, nat remains under quite active development, so if you will be using nat extensively, we generally recommend installing the latest development version directly from github using the devtools package.
```r
install devtools if required
if (!requireNamespace("devtools")) install.packages("devtools")
then install nat
devtools::install_github("natverse/nat")
```
Learn
To get an idea of what nat can do:
- Skim through the Articles listed at https://natverse.org//nat/
- Take a look at the R Markdown reports used to generate the figures for our NBLAST paper.
When you're ready to learn more:
- Read the overview package documentation
(
?natin R) - Read the Introduction to neurons article
- Check out the thematically organised function reference documentation.
- Most help pages include examples.
- Try out sample code:
- nat.examples has detailed examples for data sets from a range of model organisms and techniques
- frulhns analysis of sexually dimorphic circuits
- NBLAST figures
Help
If you want some help using nat:
- For installation issues, see the Installation vignette
- Contact nat-user Google group - we normally respond promptly and you will also be helping future users.
If you think that you have found a bug:
- Install the development version of nat using devtools (see above) and see if that helps.
- Check the github issues and
- file a bug report if this seems to be a new problem
- comment on an existing bug report
Thanks for your interest in nat!
