Hi Greg

usually I do this with a tcl script. For example, here is a script that generates a movie of inflation (that is a snapshot for each frame, you can then use convert *.tif movie.gif to create an animated gif):

cat make_movie.tcl set suffix inflated set surf_dir /homes/4/fischl/links/subjects/Long/bruce/surf

read_binary_curv set min_p 0 set max_p 60

scale_brain .95 set cslope 5 for {set pno $min_p } { $pno <= $max_p} {incr pno 1} { set fname $surf_dir/$hemi.${suffix}[format "%04d" $pno] read_surface_vertex_set 1 $fname read_binary_curv set gaLinkedVars(vertexset) 1; set_current_vertex_set $gaLinkedVars(vertexset); UpdateLinkedVarGroup view; redraw

set fname $hemi.${suffix}[format "%04d" $pno].tif puts "saving $fname" save_tiff $fname }

you would add -tcl make_movie.tcl to the tksurfer command line to run it.

cheers Bruce

I would like to make a movie of the temporal evolution of data on the cortical surface from something im doing. similar to what mne_make_movie does, but it's not eeg/meg data. is there a way to make and display movies of data in tksurfer or freeview ? or i guess i could `trick` mne and display my data in the mne package viewer ?

any ideas on what is the easiest/best way to skin this cat ?

thanks
