Hi Andy

The zigzag comes because the lines have to connect vertices on the surface. How big is your rectangle? If it is pretty big I would think the zigzags would be relatively small (although still high-frequency since the vertices are about 1mm apart). I don’t think we have anything that will do exactly what you want, but coding something up to find every vertex inside a rectangle should be pretty easy in matlab or python

 

Cheers

Dear FreeSurfer Developers,

 

Hi. I want to manually draw a rectangular ROI on flat map. I tried "PolyLine voxel draw" of ROI edit tool (MailScanner has detected a possible fraud attempt from "secure-web.cisco.com" claiming to be https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FreeviewGuide/FreeviewTools/RoiEdit).

 

On the other hand, unfortunately, it seems that it only works in 3d volume space.

 

So, I tried "Path/Custom FIll" -> pointing 4 vertices of a rectangle -> "Make Closed Path". But this time, the vertices were not connected straight. The lines were zigzag.

 

Could you tell me how to draw a rectangular ROI with straight lines. Furthermore, if possible, could you explain how zigzag lines form?

 

Thank you in advance.

 

Kind Regards,

Andy (Junghyun) Kim
