Hi Yujia

 

Have you tried using mris_expand instead? That is what I wrote it for.

 

Cheers

Hi Freesurfers,

 

I'm attempting to create equal-distant surface layers between the ?h.pial and ?h.white surface segmentation using the MATLAB functions read_surf and write_surf. I used read_surf to get the vertex coordinates and face information out of the ?h.pial and ?h.white and saved the modified vertex coordinates for the new surface into "?h.new_surface.pial" using write_surf. After loading the new surface files into freeview the command line shows the following warning message:

 

Did not find any volume info

 

The surface however was showing correctly on freeview. Furthermore, when I'm attempting to calculate the surface orientation angles of the newly generated surface using mris_convert --angle, I got the following error indicating the same thing about missing volume info:

 

************************************* CAUTION **************************************

If you are running "mris_convert --angle" on an original surface (i.e. has not

been transformed by mris_surf2surf), then you can ignore this message.

However, if you need to calculate orientation angles of a TRANSFOMRED surface you

will need to convert the .lta/.dat registration file first and force the original

volume as the source. Otherwise important header information will be lost and the

angles will be incorrect (do not be fooled, they might appear close, but they won't

be exact). A detailed description and example can be found on the freesurfer wiki.

************************************************************************************

error: volume size must be greater than 0 in every dimension

 

I see similar problems have been reported previously but I was not able to locate the solution of such matter. Does anyone know what is the cause of this and how to trouble shoot? Thanks in advance!
