It is easier to find the neighborhood for a given number of steps away from the vertex of interest. One easy way is to set the value of a single vertex, smooth for a particular number of iterations, and then select the non-zero vertices. If you smooth 5 times, you will get 5 steps away. The number of vertices in that neighborhood will vary from vertex to vertex.

hi surfers, Imagine that I need to know what are the closest N vertices (let's say n=100) to a given vertex (i mean two dimentionsal neighourhood on surfaces) . Any idea how to do that? anybody has a written code for this? cheers nima _______________________________________________ Freesurfer mailing list Freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu https://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/freesurfer
