You should be able to start with values at the vertices and then use a dilate command to make the circles.

Though, not sure that it will help me because I have hundreds of patches that should be created automatically. As far as I understand, there is no functionality to create foci file automatically. BTW, unrelated, I wonder whether there is a way in the workbench to select some vertex not by a mouse click, but by providing the vertexID (or MNI coordinate). Something like in matlab Ctrl+G, where you jump directly to some line. Thank you.

To create foci, click on "Foci" in the Mode section of the Toolbar and a set of Foci buttons will appear at the bottom of the Toolbar. Click on "New" and use the dialog to create a *.foci file to save your foci, and add your first focus at your electrode coordinates, and make sure the "Project to Surface" checkbox is checked at the bottom of the dialog. Continue the process for all the electrodes you want to show. When you are done adding foci to the *.foci file you created, don't forget to go to File>Save/Manage Files to save the *.foci file to disk. Even though you set a file name in workbench, that doesn't save the file without this step. To adjust the way the foci are shown (size, shape, color, etc.), open the Features Toolbox (View>Features Toolbox, or toolbox-looking icon at the top far right). You also might want to create a *.scene file to save your work as you do this (clapboard icon at top right) so you can pick up where you left off if you need to, but again you need to go to File>Save/Manage Files to save the *.scene file to disk. There is Help info on all these features in the Workbench Help (? icon at top). Hope that helps!

You are right that using midthickness my patches become more circular (though still not fully). However, the main reason I want to use the inflated or even very inflated view is because using for example midthickness some of the patches are hidden within the sulci (see attached image). The question is whether there is a way to make some drawing on the surface irrespective of vertices, probably by exporting the surface...

They probably will look more like what you expect. The inflated surface necessarily distorts the shape of overlays. See attached capture which shows distance borders from AVM on midthickness in the lower left corner, on the inflated at right.

For that, I took MNI coordinate of an ellectrode converted it to vertexID (wb_command -surface-closest-vertex) and then found vertices within 2mm (wb_command -surface-geodesic-distance). Instead of circles, I got non-circular patches (see attachment, left). Can someone suggest how can I create circles like in the right picture?
