It is not deprecated in the current release. In the next release -metric-vertex-sum will be deprecated by -metric-stats and -metric-weighted-stats. The -metric-vertex-sum command will still work for several releases, but the new commands are more flexible, and will be the recommended commands to use in new scripts.
If you just want the surface area of each vertex, -metric-vertex-areas will do this. If you want the surface area of an ROI, and the ROI is binary (values are zeros and ones), you can do this for a single subject: wb_command -metric-vertex-sum roi.func.gii -integrate surface.surf.gii To get binary rois, you could give a label file to -gifti-all-labels-to-rois, or threshold a metric with -metric-math 'x > 0', or similar. (in the next release, -metric-weighted-stats with the -sum and -area-surface options will also do what -metric-vertex-sum -integrate does) Tim On Sun, Mar 8, 2015 at 3:39 PM, Glasser, Matthew <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Tim, > > Could you explain how you want users to compute surface areas of ROIs > now that the previous command that did that seems deprecated?
