Hello Andrew-or others who might wish to help :-]

I've had to come back to this task after a while. I no longer have access to the Linux PC, thus will need to do this on my Windows 10 installation of FS (Oracle VM). What is the easiest way of achieving the task I described (highlight a few brain regions in the DKT atlas)?

I tried updating FreeView as in the updated instructions, but I am getting some no-space errors that I'd need to fix; also, this update is in fact probably meant for direct Linux (not Windows VM) installations anyway.

I see there is now a non-VM way of running FS on Windows. However, since figures in older papers (such as Fig 1 in this one) exist that show certain ROIs on a blank fsaverage, I still wonder whether there is a way to do it with the standard VM image. The problem is, typing freeview at my command line there still returns "bash: /usr/local/freesurfer/bin/freeview: cannot execute binary file". 

Thank you again for your help!

Hi Andrew,

Thank you very much for this, I will give this a try when I next have access to that PC, which will unfortunately not be very soon.

Until then, since the task I set out to do is quite straighforward, I was wondering if there is a workaround to make the old Freeview (v5.3, which I still consider an excellent and versatile tool) to do it as well, that is, to highlight atlas parcels one at a time.

In either case I will report back once I am able to update those libraries.

Best,

Hi Francesco, the linux dev distributions are built on 64bit centos6 and 7, so you’re right about your original issue being related to the 32bit vm. I think your newer Qt errors are related to out-of-date libraries supplied in the ‘Update Freeview’ instructions. I’ve just updated that wiki page (at https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/UpdateFreeview) so it can account for changing Qt libraries. Can you give those new instructions a try and let me know how it goes?

 

thanks,

Andrew

As per an older thread, this might be in fact due to the VM being 32bit. It is mentioned there the 64bit VirtualBox image is widely available, but I on the main FS website I can only find the 32bit 5.3 version for VirtualBox.

 

I also have a FS 6.0 64bit installation on a Linux PC, and I tried the same update commands there. But there is still an error at the end when I try to start freeview:

 

freeview: relocation error: freeview: symbol _ZN17QAbstractItemView11eventFilterEP7QObjectP6QEvent, version Qt_5 not defined in file libQt5Widgets.so.5 with link time reference

 

Thanks still..

Hi Ruopeng,

 

Thanks! I took those steps to update Freeview, but when I try to start (the updated) Freeview, the command line returns "bash: /usr/local/freesurfer/bin/freeview: cannot execute binary file". 

 

Maybe there is something wrong in the update instructions, possibly the library-update command (which has the -C option) or the chmod command? 

 

I am using freesurfer-Linux-centos4-stable-pub-v5.3.0 inside an Oracle VM Virtualbox.

HI Francesco,

 

The latest development version of freeview can do this. You can download it from here:

 

 

Best,

Dear all,

 

I would like to show several structures from the DKT (or the Desikan-Killiany) atlas alone on a "blank" fsaverage brain, rather than have all structures displayed in different colors (as happens by default). For instance, I'd like to just show "medialorbitofrontal" on its own, then "middletemporal" on its own, etc.

 

After I open the parcellation,

freeview -v /FS/fsaverage/mri/aparc+aseg.mgz:colormap=lut:opacity=0.4 -f /FS/fsaverage/surf/lh.white:annot=aparc.annot

, I expected to be able to turn each label in the list on and off like a layer, but this does not work.

<21-01-2019 14.48.54.jpg>

 

I hoped I could use Alt+F to hide/show each atlas label at a time (cf freeview tutorial), but this instead toggles the entire external surface of the brain on and off.

 

Can anyone help? Thank you!

--Francesco
