Hi Bruce, thanks for your reply. I was interested in computing the distance between two labels (or within a label), the idea was to export the this "path label" and e.g lh.orig into matlab and then determine the distance along the surface.

Do we have tool for this issue in freesurfer?

cheers,

Yes, you probably need to generate a closed path, or a closed cut. I'm not sure if we support saving paths as label files. Anyone know?

Dear freesurfer experts,
I draw a path with the tksurfer tools on a surface, but was not able to save this path as a label. During the custom fill step it marked the whole
surface and not just the path. I think it is because the path is not closed. Is there still a way to get a path as a label file?

cheers,

erhan
