Hi Yang, there is not a way to pass it from the tksurfer command line. What I've done in the past is to write another script to which I pass these types of arguments. This scripts constructs the tcl script then runs tksurfer with the appropriate arguments.

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
