The coords are in the surface structure, which you can get by running mris_convert lh.white lh.white.asc (asc will be an ascii file) or by loading into matlab with read_surf.m
The surface area is computed for white (?h.area) and pial (?h.pial.area). These can be converted to mgz or nifti (mri_convert lh.area lh.area.{mgz,nii.gz }) or read into matlab with read_curv.m
The other stuff (angles, edge lengths, dist matrix), you will have to do yourself but you can get it on a vertex-wise basis with something like
mris_info --vx 1000 $SUBJECTS_DIR/fsm011/surf/lh.white
vertexno 1000
xyz -12.5783 -89.7512 33.0777 # the coords
nxyz -0.9930 0.0542 0.1049      # the normal at this vertex
vertex_area 0.668113                   # area
neighbors 6
nbr 0    994 0.6636 0.3354 1524 0.2240
nbr 1    669 0.8749 0.9553 1525 0.3357
nbr 2    677 0.8132 0.6240 1538 0.3472
nbr 3   1006 1.0009 1.0769 2226 0.2301
nbr 4   1408 0.9042 0.8405 2227 0.4085
nbr 5   1419 0.9977 1.0954 2238 0.4587

Hi,

I’m wondering if there’s a way to get the properties of individual vertices such as:

1)Coordinates

2)Surface area

3)angles

4) Side lengths

5) distance matrix from other vertices

And can you get these properties for individual surfaces/ transformations (eg. On the spherical map or flatmap) ?

On the FreeSurfer application or else through matlab?

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks,

Sarah
