I think it should be the same. When the source and target subjs are
the same, there should not be any resampling.

It probably won't be the same as a cp in any case, as you will go
through some resampling steps.

The label coords as created by tksurfer should be that of the white
surface, so you're really just changing the coords from that of white
to that of pial. Can you try removing --trgsurf pial from your cmd
and see if the labels are the same?

Dear Doug et al.,
I'm trying to test mri_label2label because we've observed some strange
results in the download for:
freesurfer-Linux-rh9-stable-pub-v3.0.2
To test the program, I thought it would be sensible to map a label of
one subject onto itself, with a different label filename for the
output.
So I created a large label in a subject rh inflated surface and
saved it
to X.label file. I then tried to run mri_label2label using the same
srcsubject and target subject, with a different name for the target
label, ie:
mri_label2label \
--srclabel $SUBJECTS_DIR/${srcsubject}/label/$label \
--trglabel $SUBJECTS_DIR/${srcsubject}/label/$newlabel \
--srcsubject ${srcsubject} \
--trgsubject ${srcsubject} \
--regmethod surface --hemi $hemi --trgsurf pial
In effect, this should be equivalent to:
cd $SUBJECTS_DIR/${srcsubject}/label/
cp $label $newlabel
That is, the label mapping onto the same subject surface should be
identical. It is not. Can you please try to replicate this result? I
would like to know if it is particular to the setup here. If you
find a
bug in mri_label2label, please forward a fix ASAP, as we are trying to
complete some analysis that depends on mapping labels across subjects.
Thanks, Darren
