Hey Donald,

This is cool. Thank you. I am part of Damien Fair's lab at OHSU, and it looks 
like at some point we may need to use this and ask you a follow up question 
about it ;)

David

David,

If you have matlab, you can use the attached script.

Use the attached file AND
(1) download 
http://www.martinos.org/~mclaren/ftp/Utilities_DGM/PPPI<http://www.martinos.org/%7Emclaren/ftp/Utilities_DGM/PPPI>
(2) change the following 2 lines in the attached file:

addpath(insertspmpath)

addpath(insertpppipath)

(3) create_sphere_image is the command you want to run. It takes several 
inputs, (a) template image, (b) VOI name, (c) VOI location, (d) sphere diameter 
in that order.


For VOI location, you need a list of the x,y,z coordinates. Each coordinate 
gets its own row.


Sorry there isn't more documentation.

Best Regards, Donald McLaren

Hi David,

I'm going to assume you want a 3D label/ROI/paint volume, rather than
writing the node:scalar pairs to a node_numx1x1 nii volume (or as I
sometimes see it written as mgz).

I used this dataset to do it:

CARET_TUTORIAL_SEPT-06
http://sumsdb.wustl.edu/sums/directory.do?id=6585200

Specifically the MACAQUE/Macaque.F99.RIGHT.DEMO.73730.spec spec file.

Then I did:

Load scenes
Select scene 8. Lewis-VE areas, borders on Flat, Fiducial, VeryInflated
(Macaque F99 RIGHT

Attributes: Paint: Convert Paint Column  to Paint Volume
Volume Selection: Space: MACAQUE-F99
OK
D/C Overlay/Underlay Volume: Paint primary overlay
File: Save Data File: Volume Paint File:
Macaque.F99UA1.BOTH.LewisVE00.4dfp.ifh

Normally, I'd choose NIFTI over 4dfp.ifh, because the latter is
generally only readable within wustl.edu<http://wustl.edu>, while the formerly 
is a
broadly recognized standard; however, to my knowledge, the NIFTI
standards body has not adopted a standard way to represent ROI index to
structure/meaning lookup, much less structure/meaning to color.  So
until that happens, we are stuck with the two work-arounds we know:

* AFNI head into which Caret has inserted a LUT_NAMES tag (but other
software like AFNI won't recognize)
* ifh, which already had a mechanism for representing index to
structure/meaning lookup

Since you said nifti or 4dfp.ifh, in this case I recommend ifh, because
it stores the lookup.  Note that the intensities are off by 2, e.g.
where the header says this:

region names                       := 0 LVE00_VOT
region names                       := 1 LVE00_V4
region names                       := 2 LVE00_TEa_m
...

The actuall intensity of the voxels intersecting the LVE00_VOT nodes is
2 -- not 0.  So add 2 to all the intensities in the header, and direct
all questions to Avi Snyder. ;-)
