montage_visualizer

tit.tools.montage_visualizer

Render PNG visualizations of electrode montage placements.

Overlays coloured rings and arc connections on a template EEG cap image using ImageMagick convert. Called automatically by the simulation pipeline to document the active montage.

Public API

visualize_montage Render a PNG for a single montage or a combined multi-montage image.

visualize_montage

visualize_montage(montage_name: str, electrode_pairs: list[list[str]], eeg_net: str, output_dir: str, sim_mode: str = 'U', logger=None) -> None

Render a PNG showing electrode positions and connection arcs.

Parameters

montage_name : str Used as the output filename base (unipolar) or "combined" (multipolar). electrode_pairs : list of list of str Electrode pairs, e.g. [["E030", "E020"], ["E095", "E070"]]. eeg_net : str EEG cap name, e.g. "GSN-HydroCel-185.csv". output_dir : str Directory to write the output PNG(s) into. sim_mode : str, optional "U" produces one image per montage; "M" produces a single combined image. Default "U".
