[Eeglablist] Reading in own channel locations

[Arnaud Delorme]

Dear Michael,

I think you did not use the fields in the correct order. Also, you do 
not have to edit the readlocs function to read your file. If your 
location file is named tmpfile.txt (no header lines), try under Matlab

 >> tmp = readlocs('tmpfile.txt', 'format', { 'channum' 'labels' 
'sph_theta_besa' 'sph_phi_besa' 'sph_radius' });
 >> pop_chanedit(tmp);

and that will do it. The advantage of defining the format in readlocs() 
itself (as you tried to do it) is that the exporting function 
(pop_writelocs()) will be able to export to the new format you have 
define. To simply read in your file, the code above might be simplier.

Best

Arno
