Thanks David,
Is it possible to use the same palettes for the paint files as for
the metrics? I don't seem to be able to find a way.

Alex, Stephanie, et al.,
1) Stephanie's RGB suggestion provides one excellent option for you
to check out.
2) Another set of options is to use the Surface: ROI window, which
allows you flexibility in selecting various regions using data in a
metric column. Then use the Surface ROI: Operate on Selected Nodes
menu to draw borders around the ROI or to assign the ROI to an
existing or new paint column.
3) If you'd like to have side-by-side viewing of different metric
columns in different windows (which is quite handy for a lot of
purposes), then do the following:
i) Make multiple copies of the coord file for the surface
configuration you want to view (e.g., save the very inflated coord
file with 'copy2' and 'copy3' inserted into the file name.
ii) view a separate copy of the desired configuration in each Caret
window.
iii) In the Page Selection: Metric Selection window, use the
Surface Coloration Applies To: pulldown menu to assign a different
metric column to each coord file. Up to 10 different columns can
then be viewed concurrently in this way, and similar options are
available for surface-shape and paint files/columns.
You can use the node ID option to highlight locations of interest
that show up in all windows.
4) If you use any of these approaches and get displays that you
find useful and want to return to in the future, don't forget to
generate a 'scene' and save the scene file. This can save huge
amounts of time in later stages of analysis and in preparing and
revising figures.
5) Finally, regarding documentation, there are a number of Caret-
related resources that provide help with questions like this.
Within Caret, the Menu: Help offers quick access to (i) 'Caret
Help', which has extensive documentation and tutorials; (ii) Caret
Tips; and (iii) Search Caret Website, which provides a google-like
search of online Caret resources.
If there are additional suggestions for analysis capabilities
needed or improvements to the search and tutorial capabilities, let
us know.

Hi Alex,
I've only work a little with Caret myself, so there might be a
better way... Anyway, you can convert metrics files to an RGB
paint file, using up to 3 contrasts of your metrics at a time.
Just go in Attributes/Metrics/Convert a Metrics file to RGB paint,
or something like that. Then you select each contrast you want to
display as red, blue and/or green, and the overlap will
automatically be coded depending on the primitive colors of the 2
(or 3) contrasts overlapping.
Hope this helps,
Stephane

Hi all,
Is there anyway to view more than one functional map (i.e., stat
image) on
the PALS atlas simultaneously?
I have mapped the results of a series of contrasts onto the atlas
and now
have a .metric file with each contrast as a different column.
However, I
only seem to be able to view one contrast at a time.
I can't seem to find any documentation on this.
Ultimately, I would like to overlay two maps simultaneously (each
coloured
using a different palette).
Also, if it is possible to view >1 map at the same time, is there
some
option to colour areas of overlap between the maps differently?
Thanks for your help,
Alex
