hi mike,

In theory it could, as we use Nibabel for i/o and they support Gifti.

However, I have no data in Gifti format at the moment to work with, so at the moment I would say we are Freesurfer specific.

freesurfer does support giftis.

mris_convert --combinesurfs fsaverage/surf/lh.inflated fsaverage/surf/rh.inflated test.gii

mris_convert fsaverage/surf/lh.inflated ./lh.test2.gii

would be awesome to be able to have gifti support and direct nifti overlay with a bbreg.dat registration or identity instead of having to create an overlay file.

cheers,

satra

Best, Michael

Hi Michael,

Out of curiosity, does this also support the GIFTI format? If so, one

use it to view surface data from a wide variety of software packages.

Thanks,
