A primitive Maybrain GUI

This is an update on the Maybrain project to plot brain data using Mayavi2. Some progress has been made in a couple of areas. Before that, though, here's a movie of Maybrain in action

The wiki

This is coming along. Pages now exist for installation and class definitions for the brain object. There are still some gaps, and lots more work to do, but it's taking shape. If there is something you really want to know, get in touch and we can fast-track progress on some part of the wiki, or send you some demo files.

The GUI

The GUI now works with basic functionality. That is to say, there are a lot of buttons that don't do anything but you  can load a brain, plot and edit colour, visibility and opacity.

Here's a brief quickstart guide to point you in the right direction (there's nothing on the wiki yet - it's all in the pipeline):

1. Start the gui by running the file maybrainGUI.py
2. Select the adjacency and spatial information files you want to load in the top two filenames of the first tab and put in the desired threshold. Some sample data is available on the project website.
3. Click the 'load' button (next to the spatial information filename) and wait until the 'plot' button is activated
4. Click the 'plot' button
5. Now go to the second tab and use the sliders, dials and check boxes to edit the properties. 

Here are a couple of screenshots:
