Thanks for both of you for the helps! I also find a 3rd solution: convert one of the labels to mgh and thus use it as overlay and use the other one as label in freeview.

Doug: Creating an outlined label sounds pretty cool. I wonder whether either erosion or dilution would do the trick … some sort of tricky conjunction.

Bruce: thanks!!

the other thing you could do is draw a path in tksurfer and have it be
the "outline", then load the inner label and display it as filled

No, you'd have to modify the label itself to exclude the center (and
create an outline). I don't have any code to do this. For the other
stuff, look at the help for mris_label2annot --help

Doug,

Thanks for your reply! In the annotation, can one of the label be just
outlined and the other filled?

I would really appreciate if you could provide a step-by-step example
for this one… esp. how to create the colorLUT in this case...

Best,
Daniel

     I'm not sure about freeview, but you cannot do it in tksurfer. You
     can
     take your two labels and create an annotation with
     mris_label2annot (you
     get to specify the color)

         Dear FreeSurfer experts,

         Is it possible to display two labels in tksurfer or freeview,
         where
         one label is outlined with a certain color and the other label is
         filled with a different color?

         I want to show two labels, one is within the other one.

         If yes, could you please tell me the specific steps..?

         thanks a lot!
         Daniel
