Thanks, Doug. I have tried the following command: [<subjid>] $ mri_annotation2label --subject EC --hemi lh --outdir ./test_labels --table ../../surface_labels.txt --annotation aparc.a2005s A total of 57 labels are returned (expecting 94 after looking at the surface_labels.txt file?) Reading a single label file [test_labels] $ more lh.S_temporalis_transveralis.label Returns the following structure #!ascii label , from subject EC 394 64599 -35.192 -31.784 11.805 0.000000 64600 -35.842 -31.799 11.554 0.000000 The table specified in the wiki help pages (Simple_surface_labels.txt) does not appear to be located in my $FREESURFER_HOME directory...instead, the file <surface_labels.txt> appears in my $FREESURFER_HOME dir.
Have I missed something in the command line and/or specified table?

use mri_annotation2label to create a text label file for each annotation. These have the surface xyz in them.

Thanks again for the info. However, I'm still not sure how to get an ascii file for each aparc label listing the vertex index, and the RAS coordinates (surface RAS is fine since I can use the fscoordinates.pdf and the wikipage on Coordinate systems to get back to vol coordinates and eventually scanner coordinates.) Any suggestions how to access this information? From the help pages, I thought mri_annotation2label would do the trick...

yes, I think Doug has documented how to do this on our wiki. Doug: can
you point jenifer at the right place? thanks, Bruce On Mon, 1 Oct 2007, Juranek, Jenifer wrote:
Hi Bruce, Many thanks for the information. Yes, I'd like a table file for each aparc label in each hemisphere. Whether the annotation file is the ?h.aparc.a2005s.annot variety or
the
?h.aparc.annot variety is not crucial at this point. My goal is to map the XYZ vertex coordinates for each aparc label
back
to the scanner XYZ coordinates. Is this possible?

I thought not, since the color table is embedded in the .annot file. If you give it an output directory it should extract a label for every different structure in the .annot file. The label file columns are: <1> vertex index <2>-<5> surface RAS coordinates of the vertex, I believe from the
orig
surface (could be white, I'm not positive) <6> a slot to assocate a statistic with that vertex (e.g. fMRI
p-value)
Does that answer your questions? I'm not sure... cheers, Bruce On Mon, 1 Oct 2007, Juranek, Jenifer wrote:
