Bastian,
Are you using freeview to display the surface? If so, you will need to get the newest freeview.bin, which is here:
ftp://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pub/dist/freesurfer/freeview/linux_centos6_x86_64/
this has been updated to read the new volume geometry info now included in the lh.white.gii file, so that it aligns with the volume (via the c_ras info).

Hi,
Ok, thank you!
One additional follow up:
Once I converted the lh.white (freesurfer) to the lh.white.gii (gifti), the converted surface (.gii) does not fit on the structural scan from freesurfer anymore (neither brain.mgz or orig.mgz or nu.omz).
How can I register my freesurfer structural data to the new gifti surface?
I have noticed that a transformation matrix is inserted in the gifti file, but have not figured out in which space the image is transformed to..
maybe you could help me clarify that.
Best, Bastian.

Hi Bastian
do you mean a surface that is only a piece of th original surface? You can use label2patch for that, but I'm not sure if we can convert patches to gifti. You should ask the FSL crew about label2surf though - we can't help with that.
cheers Bruce

Hi Nick,
That works PERFECTLY! Thank you so much, it has been a big help!
I hope I may ask you another question:
I am actually trying to convert each freesurfer-label (from aparc.annot) into separate surfaces (not gifti-labels)
So ideally I would convert lh.precentral.label > lh.precentral.gii.
I have used the command "label2surf", Part of FSL (build 504). (and I have used the "new" gifti lh.white created with your updated version as the input surface)
However, the output gifti does not open in matlab (instead shows the same error message seen before).
Now I would guess that whatever changes you made to mris_convert would have to be applied to "label2surf" as well. I have noticed some changes in the gifti files with your new mris_convert command. However, I'm not so familiar with the gifti file structure.
Maybe I could ask you to have a look into this?
Also, If there is a easier way to achieve my goal any advise is welcome!
Again, many thanks for your efforts so far! Bastian.

Bastian,
Hi, I've posted a new mris_convert which should solve the problem for you. It's built for Centos 6, so if you need it for another platform, let me know. It's here:

Dear Freesurfer-Experts,
I would like to create gifti-surfaces to use in matlab.
That's what I am doing so far (latest FS-Version):
mris_convert lh.white lh.white.gii
I then try to open it using the "gifti" command (g=gifti('file.gii')) (http://www.artefact.tk/software/matlab/gifti/)
however, I get an error message from matlab:
>>>>>>>>>>
??? Attempt to reference field of non-structure array. Error in ==> gifti.subsref at 28 varargout{1} = this.data{j}.space.MatrixData; Error in ==> gifti.struct at 17 [values{i,:}] = subsref(this(:), substruct('.',names{i})); Error in ==> gifti.display at 17 eval([display_name ' = struct(this);']);
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Am I missing something? Is there anything special with the .gii file form FS?
here is the surface file I created with mris_convert: http://we.tl/B2n4Ex6ifJ
I am able to open the gifti file with freeview. I also updated the gifti-toolbox in matlab to the latest version.
Any help is appreciated! _______________________________________________ Freesurfer mailing list Freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu https://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/freesurfer
