The coords are in the surface structure, which you can get by running mris_convert lh.white lh.white.asc (asc will be an ascii file)  or by loading into matlab with read_surf.m The surface area is computed for white (?h.area) and pial (?h.pial.area). These can be converted to mgz or nifti (mri_convert lh.area lh.area.{mgz,nii.gz }) or read into matlab with read_curv.m The other stuff (angles, edge lengths, dist matrix), you will have to do yourself but you can get it on a vertex-wise basis with something like  mris_info --vx 1000 $SUBJECTS_DIR/fsm011/surf/lh.white vertexno 1000 xyz  -12.5783 -89.7512 33.0777  # the coords nxyz -0.9930  0.0542  0.1049      # the normal at this vertex vertex_area 0.668113                   # area neighbors 6 nbr 0    994 0.6636 0.3354  1524 0.2240 nbr 1    669 0.8749 0.9553  1525 0.3357 nbr 2    677 0.8132 0.6240  1538 0.3472 nbr 3   1006 1.0009 1.0769  2226 0.2301 nbr 4   1408 0.9042 0.8405  2227 0.4085 nbr 5   1419 0.9977 1.0954  2238 0.4587

Hi,

I’m wondering if there’s a way to get the properties of individual vertices such as:

1)Coordinates 2)Surface area 3)angles 4) Side lengths 5) distance matrix from other vertices

And can you get these properties for individual surfaces/ transformations (eg. On the spherical map or flatmap) ?

On the FreeSurfer application or else through matlab?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks,

Sarah
