Hi Bruce: Thanks! I tried on a previous .tri file, and got the same answer. But when I tried a surface file from "save surface" in TkSurfer, it looks weird, and the total vertex number is not 163842, which is the standart in ic7.tri. Furthermore, it seems that we can only generate half brain surface everytime. That might be the reason that caused the strange result.

Actually, I can get a .tri file by save surface as ... , then use mris_convert, and can read it. It is a very very high resolution tessellation of the brain, which looks similar as the result in TkSurfer, except color. And the coordinate system is already RAS. Is this the ICO surfaces (I checked wideman-one webpage, seems that both ICO and TRI are triangular surfaces)? Then if we want to choose first n points, (I suppose that you talk about n vertices), I have to get rid off the faces that include vertices other than the selected n vertices. I wonder if my understanding is correct? I tried it on surface generate by ""save surface as", there are large holes in the mesh. I also tried it on mris_converted rh.pial and lh.pial, I wonder do I need to combine those two together, to obtain a whole brain? >>>> >>>> Thanks Again! >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> Bruce Fischl wrote: >>>> >>>>> the decimation code only finds equally spaced points, I don't think it generates a tesselation. One way to downsample is to map onto on of the ico surfaces, then pick the first n points, where n is one of the downsampled icosahedra. Otherwise, I think there are other people who have written surface downsampling packages. >>>>> >>>>> cheers, >>>>> Bruce >>>>> >>>>> On Wed, 9 Mar 2005 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >>>>> >>>>>> Hi: >>>>>> >>>>>> I am trying to generate a down sampled tessellation file from inflated >>>>>> pial in TkSurfer.
