USAGE

The only header you need to include is CiftiFile.h, it will include the other needed headers.  The main
object for dealing with Cifti is CiftiFile.  To set up a new CiftiFile, make a CiftiXML object with the
mappings you want, and call setCiftiXML on the CiftiFile object.

The XML tells you things about the mappings, and lets you set new mappings or modify existing ones:

int64_t rowLength = myXML.getDimensionLength(CiftiXML::ALONG_ROW);
CiftiMappingType::MappingType rowType = myXML.getMappingType(CiftiXML::ALONG_ROW);
if (rowType == CiftiMappingType::SCALARS)
{
    CiftiScalarsMap& myScalarMap = myXML.getScalarsMap(CiftiXML::ALONG_ROW);
    QString firstMapName = myScalarMap.getMapName(0);
    ...
    myScalarMap.setLength(1);
}

See the rewrite example for how to read and write data to CiftiFile.

CiftiFile internally uses NiftiIO, which is a NIfTI reader for both NIfTI-1 and NIfTI-2 single-file (.nii),
including reading .nii.gz files if zlib is found (NOTE: .nii.gz is not allowed in the CIFTI-2 standard, as
seeking is slow, and seeking backwards is problematic).  If you want to use our NIfTI implementation to
read volume files, include NiftiIO.h.  We do not provide a VolumeFile object, NiftiIO only handles the
low-level file format details.

Our nifti1.h and nifti2.h are slightly modified, replacing the #defines of standard values for header
fields with constant integers, and placing almost everything in a namespace so that it shouldn't interfere
with an existing nifti implementation in the same codebase.  We also declare CIFTI-specific intent codes
and the CIFTI extension code in nifti2.h, and have some macros for determining header version.
