Hi Sam

they are not the same. A label is just a list of vertices in the surface (with some possibly voxel coordinates and also with a single value/vertex). It doesn't have to be ever vertex in the surface, and also contains no information about topology (e.g. which vertices are connected by an edge)

cheers

Thanks Bruce. Can I ask you a very basic question? What exactly is the
difference between a surface and a label file? I thought the difference was
that the label file is just a normal text file containing the vertices that
are used to construct a surface. If so, is there a tool that allows me to
create a surface from a label file? mri_label2surf would be my first guess,
but that doesn't seem to exist.
Best regards,
Sam
