Never mind about the differences between tkmedit and tkregister - I retained
--regheader in the command line, even though the mask and the volume were
already correctly aligned, which caused them to move out of alignment. However,
I'm still unsure of what the correct file format is for me to apply the image
as an ROI to the surface to get regional anatomical info.
Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex,
no, label files are text files with the extension .label that usually
reside in the subject's label directory. .w files are "weight" files
(from EEG/MEG inverse solutions), and more generally, are a sparse set
of
floating point values. You can load them in tksurfer with file->load
overlay, and leave the register field blank. but they probably aren't
the
right format for a label, which is just a list of voxels. Maybe Doug can
point you in the right direction for that (mri_vol2roi?)
cheers,
Bruce

which seems to work (output below). However, If I try to load the mask (now saved as a
.w file) though tksurfer as file > label > load, nothing happens (nothing happens
if I try to load it as an overlay with the register.dat file either). If I try to load

traced it in another program). I ran mri_vol2surf using the register.dat file format
that Doug provided, and got the output below. Although it creates a .w file, nothing
happens when I load it in tksurfer, I'm gessing because the vertex values are zero (?).
Have I done something wrong?
