class Brain(object):
    """Class for visualizing a brain using multiple views in mlab

    Parameters
    ----------
    subject_id : str
        subject name in Freesurfer subjects dir
    hemi : str
        hemisphere id (ie 'lh', 'rh', 'both', or 'split'). In the case
        of 'both', both hemispheres are shown in the same window.
        In the case of 'split' hemispheres are displayed side-by-side
        in different viewing panes.
    surf :  geometry name
        freesurfer surface mesh name (ie 'white', 'inflated', etc.)
    title : str
        title for the window
    cortex : str, tuple, dict, or None
        Specifies how the cortical surface is rendered. Options:

            1. The name of one of the preset cortex styles:
               ``'classic'`` (default), ``'high_contrast'``,
               ``'low_contrast'``, or ``'bone'``.
            2. A color-like argument to render the cortex as a single
               color, e.g. ``'red'`` or ``(0.1, 0.4, 1.)``. Setting
               this to ``None`` is equivalent to ``(0.5, 0.5, 0.5)``.
            3. The name of a colormap used to render binarized
               curvature values, e.g., ``Grays``.
            4. A list of colors used to render binarized curvature
               values. Only the first and last colors are used. E.g.,
               ['red', 'blue'] or [(1, 0, 0), (0, 0, 1)].
            5. A container with four entries for colormap (string
               specifiying the name of a colormap), vmin (float
               specifying the minimum value for the colormap), vmax
               (float specifying the maximum value for the colormap),
               and reverse (bool specifying whether the colormap
               should be reversed. E.g., ``('Greys', -1, 2, False)``.
            6. A dict of keyword arguments that is passed on to the
               call to surface.
    alpha : float in [0, 1]
        Alpha level to control opacity of the cortical surface.
    size : float or pair of floats
        the size of the window, in pixels. can be one number to specify
        a square window, or the (width, height) of a rectangular window.
    background, foreground : matplotlib colors
        color of the background and foreground of the display window
    figure : list of instances of mayavi.core.scene.Scene | None
        If None, a new window will be created with the appropriate
        views.
    subjects_dir : str | None
        If not None, this directory will be used as the subjects directory
        instead of the value set using the SUBJECTS_DIR environment
        variable.
    views : list | str
        views to use
    offset : bool
        If True, aligs origin with medial wall. Useful for viewing inflated
        surface where hemispheres typically overlap (Default: True)
    show_toolbar : bool
        If True, toolbars will be shown for each view.
    offscreen : bool
        If True, rendering will be done offscreen (not shown). Useful
        mostly for generating images or screenshots, but can be buggy.
        Use at your own risk.

    Attributes
    ----------
    brains : list
        List of the underlying brain instances.

        This provides a similar interface to add_overlay, but it displays

        Note: If the data is defined for a subset of vertices (specified
        by the "vertices" parameter), a smoothing method is used to interpolate
        the data onto the high resolution surface. If the data is defined for
        subsampled version of the surface, smoothing_steps can be set to None,

            or a custom look up table (an n x 4 array coded with RBGA values
            between 0 and 255).
        alpha : float in [0, 1]
            alpha level to control opacity
        vertices : numpy array
            vertices for which the data is defined (needed if len(data) < nvtx)
        smoothing_steps : int or None
            number of smoothing steps (smooting is used if len(data) < nvtx)
            Default : 20
        time : numpy array
            time points in the data array (if data is 2D)
        time_label : str | callable | None
            format of the time label (a format string, a function that maps

        remove_existing : bool

        time_label_size : int

            This method assumes that time is specified in seconds when adding
            data. If time is specified in milliseconds this will result in
            movies 1000 times longer than expected.

        Parameters
        ----------
        fname : str
            Path at which to save the movie. The extension determines the
            format (e.g., `'*.mov'`, `'*.gif'`, ...; see the :mod:`imageio`
            documenttion for available formats).
        time_dilation : float
            Factor by which to stretch time (default 4). For example, an epoch
            from -100 to 600 ms lasts 700 ms. With ``time_dilation=4`` this
            would result in a 2.8 s long movie.
        tmin : float
            First time point to include (default: all data).
        tmax : float
            Last time point to include (default: all data).
        framerate : float
            Framerate of the movie (frames per second, default 24).
        interpolation : str
            Interpolation method (``scipy.interpolate.interp1d`` parameter,
            one of 'linear' | 'nearest' | 'zero' | 'slinear' | 'quadratic' |
            'cubic', default 'quadratic').
        **kwargs :
            Specify additional options for :mod:`imageio`.
