Re: [Freesurfer] scale bar question

Just click on a point and look at the vertex RAS. At zoom=1, you have to translate the surface over to the scale bar. At zoom=1 I got about 10mm, but it did seem to change when I zoomed in.

Actually, Doug can you tell me how to get the xyz coordinates on Tksurfer so I can figure out the length of the bar as you did?

Thanks

I meant zoom in on the brain. I guess I'll take Doug's approach
and estimate the scale of the bar with the xyz coordinates.

    Hi Cesar

    what do you mean by "scale the brain up"?

        Hi freesurfers,
        Anyone know what the scale bar in TkSurfer represents?

        gathered that it represent 1 cm on the human brain.
        However, the size of the
        bar displayed gets smaller as I scale the brain up which
        does not make sense
        if the bar is supposed to represent a constant length.
