Dear Freesurfer experts, I'm new to freesurfer and I'm now trying to get anatomical labels from the Destrieux Atlas. I know that we can easily extract labels using the tksurfer GUI by a couple of mouse clicks (load atlas -- click on one label -- save selected label), but I'm just wondering if there is any existing freesurfer command line that can save labels from the terminal (assuming that the index and names of the labels are known)?

Thanks so much for any help!

Best, Qing
