Re: [Freesurfer] Complex value color scales.

2007-03-23 Thread Greg Appelbaum
Thanks for the info Kevin.  The angle function is quite revealing. As it
happens I am looking at EEG data, which likely wasn't in mind in the
functional development of FreeSurfer.

Might I also ask if you (the general FreeSurfer 'you') know if it's possible
to pass a 'wheel' scale bar to non-complex data?  Or generally how to pass
in an arbitrary color map?

Thanks again

Greg

 Unfortunately, the scale bar isn't really meant to be used with the
 complex color wheel. There is no way to get a nice legend for the color
 wheel. However, if you select View-Information-Angle, you can see the
 actual value that is being passed into the color function, so you can
 mouseover a color on the surface and see what value is mapped to it. I
 know it's not great, but maybe it will help a bit.

There color wheel only works for complex, and there's currently no way
to pass an arbitrary color map. We realize how annoying this is, though,
and a future version of our surface viewer won't have this limitation.
