Hi - I guess this is a question specificially for matt.

I have some FSL processed diffusion data. I want to display the mean fibre
orientations in "little colored lines on top of a volume" format.

fslview does this. it's very common. the problem is that the data is very
high resolution. So you really can't see the little lines if you print the
image from FSLview.

One way around this is caret_command -volume-fsl-to-vector

I accept this is unsupported. but it does provide a better display for my
needs in that the way the vectors appear on the screen is more configurable
and generally makes a better figure.

only:

that command works and thinks in terms of axial slices and the display is
interms of distances above and below the axial plane.

this means that in coronal view it can end up looking a bit off.

I was wondering:

surely workbench now has a neat-o way of displaying fibers?

it looks like it does.

but how to get the data in there?

there is

wb_command -estimate-fiber-binghams
and
wb_command -convert-fiber-orientations

since bedpostx does not output ka or kb (or std_dev normally, maybe it does
in some circumstances) I presume the former command serves as input to the
latter in some way

how exactly would that work, to create a nice volume display of fibers in
workbench? in particualar, the input to -est-fib-bing requires a label
volume. is this a volume of integers? where is the specification of what
the CIFTI idenifiers (eg CORTEX RIGHT) actually map to as numbers?

generally, is it possible to make a fiber file for display in WB given
suitable data, and e.g. a FAST segmantation relabelled to the CIFTI
itentifier values?

Given my goals as described above, do I even want to be trying this?

many thanks,

Colin
