Support viewing more file formats in the browser with NiiVue

[hanayik]

What would you like to see added?

@nellh, and @effigies, It would be nice to view more file formats (like freesurfer derivatives).

For example, this file could be rendered using the latest version of NiiVue available on NPM:

https://openneuro.org/datasets/ds004443/versions/1.0.0/file-display/derivatives:freesurfer:fsaverage:surf:lh.pial

To view an example implementation see our our demo code here:

https://github.com/niivue/niivue/blob/main/demos/features/mesh.freesurfer.html#L102

and the live version of the above code example can be viewed here:

Additionally, the latest version of NiiVue improves performance when rendering scenes like this on lower-end devices.

Alternatives

The alternative is to not display these files in the browser, which is the current state.

Do you have any interest in helping implement the feature?

Yes
