Hi everybody.  This is Jared over at BWH.  We are currently working on some manual editing of segmentation volumes.  This requires repetitively switching the view between the segmentation volume and the black and white MRI volume as you edit.  This is normally done in TkMedit with the control-g keystroke which activates the "Segmentation Overlay" command in the View menu.  In editing the segmentation volume for any given patient the number of times that this keystroke is used is on the order of hundreds to thousands.  What we would like to do is find a way to automate that keystroke so that during editing the view would automatically switch every 5 seconds or so between the black and white MRI image and the segmentation overlay.  We use MAC OS X, leopard, and have thought of using automator or apple script to automate the command.  We think this might be difficult to do because the "segmentation overlay" command cannot be elicited from Terminal (Terminal is Mac OS's command-line interface).  If the "segmentation overlay" command could be elicited from a command-line prompt it should be a simple matter to create a script that would repetitively enter this command.  Does anyone know how we could accomplish automation of this task within TkMedit?

All the best,
Jared
