Hi, I'm pretty new to Caret, so far I've just been using it for reconstruction from histological slices and flattening.
I have some pre-existing VTK surface models in which the polygons have some data associated with them, e.g. number tracer labelled cells, visuotopic information etc. In the VTK text file format, it's called CELL_DATA. When I load these surfaces into Caret, it seems this data is not preserved anywhere. However Caret does seem to support this VTK feature when exporting - if I colour the surface with a overlay of the mean curvature and save a VTK file, I see that it writes out the colouring as CELL_DATA in the VTK file. My question is, how do I import this polygon data into Caret surfaces? I'm thinking I need to import it as a different Caret file, such as a Cell file. Is that correct? Should I generate a separate file using the information at http://brainvis.wustl.edu/CaretHelpAccount/caret5_help/file_formats/file_formats.html ? Thanks, Tristan
