.mesh files format

Hi,
is it possible to have the specifications about the binary .mesh format ?
It would be usefull to be able to build .mesh files outside from brainvisa, assuming it is better than .tri format (for instance allowing to keep different versions of the surface during an inflating...).
Thanks,
Nicolas.

Maybe the easiest way is to reverse engineer it from AimsIO library, or use directly the code there?
You can also used the ASCII version of the mesh format described in the help pages of brainVISA web site.

Hello,

you should find some Matlab code to read/write .mesh files (ascii and binary) in <SHFJ_pack>/brainvisa/matlab/mesh/

You can find some format documentation there:

The link given by Guillaume describe both ascii and binary mesh format. We also have an archive file with small example meshes (both in ascii and binary) let me know if you want it. If you want to convert a mesh from ascii to binary (or the contrary) you can use AimsFileConvert command.

Thank you, Guillaume's links are exactly what I was looking for (my question was of course to avoid a painfull reverse ingeneering from Aims...

).
Thank you Yann, I'll keep in mind your offer.
