Hi Bruce,
Thank you for your reply! Would you please give me a hint how does it work, save ras2vox or ras xform into to FS surface file? I searched the archive, googled, did not figure out yet. All the function such as read_susrf.m and write_surf.m only deal with coordinates and faces information. Thank you! Ting On Fri, Nov 21, 2014 05:21 Hi Ting STL may not contain the info for ras2vox transform as it is not a medicalimaging format. We've only supported it in the past for 3D printing and such. You might need to keep track of the ras2vox and restore it when you convert back (e.g. in matlab) cheers Bruce On Fri, Nov 21, 2014 at 12:18 AM, ting xu <xutin...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi there, > > In my understanding, mris_convert does not change any information > (vertices coordinates and triangles) during converting, right?
