try:

setenv renderoffscreen 1

before running tksurfer. This used to work, but no one has used it in ages, so it may be broken.

I am trying to view images from tksurfer remotely. My computer at work has everything all set up fine, and my computer at home has no linux, and therefore no freesurfer.

I wanted to look at a particular surface and overlay, but I had not previously viewed it. So I called up tksurfer from my VNC terminal, and was told that some graphics routines needed for tksurfer were not there.

I don't mind so much - it's annoying, but if I could find a workaround it wouldn't bug me too much. I was hoping I could simply use a tcl script to draw the image on my work computer, save it, and then view it remotely.

For reasons that are not clear to me, this didn't work either.

So. What I want to do is given a particular view that I set up in a tcl script, I would like to get an RGB file of that, without drawing it locally.

Any ideas or creative workarounds?

Thanks
