Re: [Freesurfer] tksurfer tcl script

the easiest way is probably to use an environment variable, which you can access in tcl with $env(VAR_NAME) I think

Hi all,

I want to save the tiffs of different views automatically. I am trying to use tcl script to do it. My problem is that I need to pass the file's name that is being displayed in the tksurfer window to the tiff file that I want to save to.

For example,

I am running

tksurfer -f $surface_file -tcl my_script.tcl

In my_script.tcl, I have the following command:

save_tiff ${file_name}-lateral.tiff

How can I pass the $surface_file in my command to ${file_name} in my_scripts.tcl?

Thanks.

Yang
