If you know Python, you can likely do this pretty easily with tools from the PySurfer package:  http://pysurfer.github.com/

(Check out surfer.io.read_annotation).

If you're just using the io routines, you won't need the somewhat heavy Mayavi visualization dependencies.  You should be able to read in and manipulate surfaces/annotations just with numpy.

it wouldn't be that hard to put something together if you want to avoid matlab. Spec out what you need and send me a sample, maybe on Bert

Thanks.

I suppose I can't do this without matlab. Right?

there is a write_annotation.m file you can use

ops, it seems the comments inside the dpxwrite.m no longer reflect what it does. You probably don't need this, but anyway, the version attached is more up-to-date.

    Hi Pedro,

    There is probably a way to do that using FS tools from the command line, but the attached script should do the same. The result is a "data-per-vertex" file, which
    is the same as the .asc files from mris_convert. There is no geometry input, hence the vertex coordinates are all set to (0,0,0).

    Hope it helps!

    All the best,

    Anderson

          I need to create a file where I have the parcellation value (structure name) per vertex.
I've tried�mris_convert --annot /Applications/freesurfer/subjects/bert/label/lh.aparc.annot /Applications/freesurfer/subjects/bert/surf/lh.pial parc.asc
But I get the error:�ERROR: unknown file annot file type specified for output: saida.asc
Has someone done this before?
Thanks
