A list of vertices is made from a path by creating a closed curve from the points along the path and using all the points in the interior of this closed curve.
A label file (.label) is a text file where the first two lines are "header" and each line after that is a vertex. The first line has the form:
#label , from subject YOURSUBJECTNAME
The next line is the number of vertices in your label
The following lines all have 5 columns of the form:
1. verteix number 2. vertex x 3. vertex y 4. vertex z 5. stat
you can just set the stat to 0
See $FREESURFER_HOME/subjects/fsaverage/label/lh.cortex.label for example.
#label , from subject fsaverage 149955 88 -42.261 -81.724 -13.242 0.000000 445 -28.781 -85.827 -16.289 0.000000 446 -39.862 -74.518 -14.432 0.000000 616 -42.856 -74.239 -5.499 0.000000 979 -35.991 -88.051 -14.552 0.000000

Can you elaborate on what you mean by making a label "out of the interior?" Also, how would you make a label from my list?
