Hi Don

This is more Doug’s domain than mine, but won’t mri_label2label do the trick?

Cheers

Bruce

Hi everyone,

I’m reposting this from November 29 as it hasn’t gotten a reply and it hasn’t shown up in the archive either so maybe it got lost in the sauce.

I wish to use the “-dilate n” capability of mri_extract_label, mris_label or other tool to dilate a ctx region and end up with an ascii list of xyz coordinates for the expanded points.

mri_extract_label appears to only be capable of writing output to .mgz files and I do not find a tool for extracting labels from a .mgz into an ascii .label file.

Your direction would be welcome.

Thanks -  Don
