<p>Please keep the list in CC.</p>
<p>The channels module has the tools to load and manipulate montages
(both custom and built-in):</p>

<p>I would not recommend modifying the actual files for the built-in
montages because that would change the behavior of MNE for all
data, including examples that depend on the built-ins working as
they are distributed.</p>
<p>For the difference between montage and layout, see the glossary
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://mne.tools/stable/glossary.html">https://mne.tools/stable/glossary.html</a>), but here the relevant
points:</p>

<p>A <a class="reference internal"

title="mne.channels.Layout"><code class="xref py py-class
docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Layout</span></code></a>
gives sensor positions in 2
dimensions (defined by <code class="docutils literal
notranslate"><span class="pre">x</span></code>, <code
class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">y</span></code>,
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">width</span></code>,
and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span
class="pre">height</span></code> values for
each sensor). It is primarily used for illustrative purposes
(i.e., making
diagrams of approximate sensor positions in top-down diagrams
of the head,
so-called topographies or topomaps).</p>

<p>EEG channel names and the relative positions of the sensor
w.r.t. the scalp.
While layout are 2D locations, montages give 3D locations. A
montage
can also contain locations for HPI points, fiducial points, or
extra head shape points.

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>What do you mean with channel file? The montage file with
electrode coordinates and names? Can you tell us more
about what the end goal is / why you want to modify this
file?</p>
<p>Best,</p>
<p>Phillip<br>
