[Freesurfer] save custom made path on surface as label

2012-03-05 Thread Erhan Genc
Dear freesurfer experts, I draw a path with the tksurfer tools on a surface, but was not able to save this path as a label. During the custom fill step it marked the whole surface and not just the path. I think it is because the path is not closed. Is there still a way to get a path as a label fil

Hi Bruce, thanks for your reply. I was interested in computing the distance between two labels (or within a label), the idea was to export the this "path label" and e.g lh.orig into matlab and then determine the distance along the surface. Do we have tool for this issue in freesurfer? cheers, Er

Hi Erhan this is what we typically use the spherical coordinate system for. Just compute the distance along the great circle connecting two points (for your example it would be the centroid of the labels, or possibly the max of the min over all pairs of points in the two labels, which would be
