Dear Bruce,

Thank you for your answer. I have not yet gotten it correctly.

1) Where does that file come from? Should I create it? how?

2) what is missing in the command of mris_sample_parc? Why does it now work? 

3) what does the second error mean?
CTABfindAnnotation: ct was NULL
No such file or directory
CTABfindAnnotation: ct was NULL
No such file or directory
CTABfindAnnotation: ct was NULL
No such file or directory
CTABfindAnnotation: ct was NULL
No such file or directory

Thanks in advance!
Markus

Hi Markus

that file translates indices/annotations into colors to display and human reasable names.

cheers
Bruce

I can precise the question, actually there are three:

1) ist the command correct?

      mris_sample_parc -v -sdir subject001 rh
      ~/Documents/myROIfile.mgz rh.myROIfile.annot


2) I do not understand the meaning of this claimed file
cma_parcellation_colors.txt

Actually this does not exist. In the Wiki
(http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/mris_sample_parc) it says that
there was an optional arguement

-file <filename>

use <filename> as translation (default: 'cma_parcellation_colors.txt')


If I understand correctly, "translation" points ot a problem of different
spaces, but the filename rather seems something like a parcellation/atlas
color table?

3) The result of this problem seems to be that I cannot annotate the surface
using the created annotation file. It gives this error, which i do not
understand.



CTABfindAnnotation: ct was NULL
No such file or directory
CTABfindAnnotation: ct was NULL
No such file or directory
CTABfindAnnotation: ct was NULL
No such file or directory
CTABfindAnnotation: ct was NULL
No such file or directory
... etc.

Can anyone help me find the problem?


Thank you in advance!
