i´ll rephrase my question: can one display "filled" labels and other "outlined" labels at the same time in tksurfer? see my current attachment (made with help from Gimp..):
surface+curvature+aparc (outlined)+some label (filled)+some label (filled).

mri_annotation2label will give me labels, fine, but it won´t solve my rephrased question, i think.

appreciate your help!

 Or do you want the separate units to have separate colors? If that's your goal you can use mri_annotation2label to turn all the parcellation units into labels and only use the 2 (or more) that you want.

Hi Bruce,

to be 100% sure that you guys understand what i want, i have attached the
same attachment as before but now i quickly manually-painted in some regions
using Gimp. Now, obviously i would like to do this not-manually and within
FreeSurfer. is this possible?


you can use the "custom fill" tool to fill up to other labels.


how can i use "custom fill" to fill up a specific label, making it visible
in tksurfer while keeping the other labels in 'outlined' status?



You can also start with "all marked vertices" and click in a number of
regions, then save them as a label (you can change its color with the
"change label color" button on the 2nd row of icons near the right).


with "its" you refer to 1 label representing "all marked vertices" for which
the color can be customized. look at the attachment, this is not what i
would want. maybe i´m missing something obvious, apologies.

 Hi,

using version 4.0.5

look at the attached picture. its the result of:

tksurfer code lh inflated -aparc aparc -gray

i have selected one region (yellow outline). i would like to
- fill this region and some other regions, *but not all regions*!
- give the filled regions different color-labelings
- i would like to display them (outlined and filled regions) at the *same*
time.

i have tried numerous ways, without result. any suggestions?

thanks,
