Hi Jason

There are morphological tools built into freeview, so you could select a single vertex, make a label from it, then dilate it as many times as you want. That will of course give you the graph distance not the actual surface geodesic, but might be good enough?

Cheers

Subject: [Freesurfer] surface label generation from vertex?

External Email - Use Caution

Hi Freesurfers,

I would like to generate a label that extends some distance from a chosen vertex on the surface. Is this possible in the freeview gui? Otherwise?

Many thanks for you feedback.

Best,

Jason
