It depends on how critical it is the $metric_filename have zeroes in the medial wall, rather than just look gray when you view/capture it. For display/capture purposes, you can use the existing PALS paint file:
Human.PALS_B12.BOTH.COMPOSITE_Areas_Functional_WS.73730.paint … which has these columns: AVERAGE-MED-WALL B1-12 RIGHT AVERAGE-MED-WALL B1-12 LEFT Then adjust your D/C: Surface Overlay/Underlay settings as shown here: http://brainmap.wustl.edu/pub/donna/US/CT/YALE/medial_wall_gray.png login pub password download That paint file is included in this archive: CARET_TUTORIAL_SEPT06.zip http://sumsdb.wustl.edu/sums/archivelist.do?archive_id=6595030 If you are doing analysis with $metric_filename that needs the medial wall to be zeroed out, you can create an inverted mask like this: caret_command -surface-region-of-interest-selection my.coord my.topo "" cortical_mask_outside_medial_wall.roi -paint medial.wall.paint column-number MEDIAL.WALL NORMAL -invert-selection But then what you do next depends on your analysis, and I suspect you care more about the display.
