Hi Len,
As I understand it, .annot file is surface overlay for cortical surface parcellation.
I’m trying to understand what you mean by “volumetric aparc.annot”. How did you obtain the file?
Best,
Yujing

External Email - Use Caution Dear Freesurfer enthusiasts,
I would like to load a volumetric aparc.annot file into Matlab with the goal of editing the color information for certain ROIs in order to convey some group-level results in the subcortex.
I've previously done this for cortical surfaces by loading lh.aparc.annot (and rh.aparc.annot), but I now need to convey surbcortical results, and read_annotation does not work for the volumetric aparc.annot. I assume write_annotation would not work either.
All the information I have been able to find relating to modifying a .annot and creating custom colortables has been for surface data. Any help in getting this done in the subcortex would be appreciated.
Best regards, Len
