Thank you, Matt. But can you please provide more details because I do not
fully understand. There are -cifti-dilate, -metric-dilate and
-label-dilate. Which one do I use?  If this is the former, it seems that I
still need to create the label manually. If you mean two former, it is not
clear to me how I "start with values at the vertices".
