Johannes,

Hopefully, Donna's instructions worked for your immediate purposes.

Depending on your specific purpose, there are other options for showing the nature and magnitude of the spherical deformations, using the original sphere and the deformed sphere (but with the same node number as the original surface family).

Selecting Attributes: Generate Deformation Field brings up a window that lets you choose a source and target surface, then it generates a vector field between corresponding nodes of the source and target. This deformation field file can be loaded into Caret and viewed as a 'sparse' display, showing (for example) the vectors (needles) for one in 50 nodes.

Another option is to use the Surface: Interpolate Surfaces option to generate a smooth sequence of intermediate shapes, and to use the File: Record as MPEG option to make a movie that cycles from the original to the deformed sphere and back, with whatever display you want on the surface (e.g., sulcal depth).

Hope this helps.

Sorry Johannes,

I realized after I replied that you wanted the borders -- not the latlon itself. But I think I know how to do this:

Generate your latlon borders on the individual's sphere
Save as mylatlon.border
Apply the deformation map stored in the atlas target directory for that individual using spherical border file type Go to your atlas target directory and open the deformed border on your atlas target spec file

I just tried it and my borders look like the attached jpg.

Yes I did, but I'm stuck with displaying them on the surface. I suppose my
problem is that I don't know how to derive visible borders from that
information. When I use the "Create Lat/Lon Spherical Borders" Button, the
appropriate borders are created, but it seems the Latitude Longtitude
information is regenerated thus resulting in a regularly spaced grid again. I've also tried saving the latlon border projection and deforming that, but
the results were not as expected and I'm still stuck.

Hi Johannes,

Did you try generating the latlon on the individual's surface (i.e., before deformation), and then applying the deformation map to that latlon file?

Hi everyone,
I'd like to show how a particular spherical surface gets deformed during morphing. I know how to generate fresh latitude-longitude borders on it, but I can't figure out how to get them
deformed the same
way the surface was. Thanks a lot Johannes
