function mesh = ft_defacemesh(cfg, mesh)

% FT_DEFACEMESH allows you to de-identify a scalp surface mesh by erasing specific
% regions, such as the face and ears. The interactive graphical user interface allows
% you to position a box over the anatomical data inside which all vertices will be
% removed. You might have to call this function multiple times when both face and
% ears need to be removed. Following defacing, you should check the result with
% FT_PLOT_MESH.
%
% Use as
%   mesh = ft_defacemesh(cfg, mesh)
%
% The configuration can contain the following options
%   cfg.method     = string, specification of the shape that is used 
%                    as a boundary for exclusion, can be either 'box' or 'plane' (default = 'box')
%   cfg.translate  = initial position of the center of the box, or a point on the plane (default = [0 0 0])
%   cfg.scale      = initial size of the box along each dimension (default is automatic)
%   cfg.rotate     = initial rotation of the box, or the plane (default = [0 0 0])
%   cfg.selection  = which vertices to keep, can be 'inside' or 'outside' (default = 'outside')
