Hi Pedro,

I'm not familiar with "off" format.

You'll need to convert your surface into one of the following file formats that caret_file_convert (or Caret's File: Import) can read:

           BYU  input surface is a BYU surface file
              This type is followed by the name of the BYU surface file.

           FSS  input surface is a FreeSurfer surface surface file.
              This type is followed by the name of the FreeSurfer surface
              file.

           FSP  input surface is a FreeSurfer surface patch file.
              This type is followed by the name of the FreeSurfer patch
              file and the name of a corresponding FreeSurfer surface file.

           STL  input surface is a BYU surface file
              This type is followed by the name of the STL surface file.

           VTKP  input surface is a VTK PolyData file.
              This type is followed by the name of the VTK PolyData file.

           VTKXP  input surface is an XML VTK PolyData file.
This type is followed by the name of the XML VTK PolyData file.

Often software packages will read and write VTK files, even if they don't use this format natively.

Alternatively, you can convert your surface into Caret "coord" and "topo" format:

Coord: http://brainmap.wustl.edu/caret/caret5.51_help/file_formats/file_formats.html#coordFile Topo: http://brainmap.wustl.edu/caret/caret5.51_help/file_formats/file_formats.html#topoFile

Caret can read those formats directly using the File: Open Data File options.

NIH has developed a standard named "GIFTI" which serves a purpose for geometric data similar to the NIfTI standard did for 3D volumetric data (i.e., standard interchange format). I thought they were about ready to release it.

Hi:
I have a surfaces in triangles. I can write it in .off, for example... I have vertices coordinates and triangles. I'd like to import this to CARET. What should I do?
thanks
