Freesurfer people,
*I have a label file that I want to make into a volume file only in the white matter to use in diffusion tractography.*
*I was told to use mri_aparc2aseg to put the labels onto the WM surface and make them into a volume. I made the label files into annotation files using the following commands:*
mris_label2annot --ctab clut.2lhV1.ctab --s 100206 --h lh --l /data/user/snolin/subjects_reconall/100206/label/2_LH_V1.label --a 2V1
mris_label2annot --ctab clut.2rhV1.ctab --s 100206 --h rh --l /data/user/snolin/subjects_reconall/100206/label/2_RH_V1.label --a 2V1
*These ran with no errors and made annotation files. Then I ran mri_aparc2aseg using the following command:*
mri_aparc2aseg --s 100206 --annot 2V1 --new-ribbon
*This is my log file:*

Writing output aseg to /data/user/snolin/subjects_reconall/100206/mri/2V1+aseg.mgz
*It creates the 2V1+aseg.mgz file and I tried opening it in freeview with the color lookup table that I used when I made it into an annotation file and there is nothing there. The file is 401KB, but its all black. *
*Clicking around it comes up 41, 0, or 2000, but I can’t visually see anything. What have I done wrong here?*
*As I mentioned before, I just want to use these label file for diffusion tractography, so if I am heading down the wrong path, I would appreciate advice.*
