Usage

Edit Surface File

from freesurfer_surface import Surface, Vertex, Triangle
surface = Surface.read_triangular('bert/surf/lh.pial'))
vertex_a = surface.add_vertex(Vertex(0.0, 0.0, 0.0))
vertex_b = surface.add_vertex(Vertex(1.0, 1.0, 1.0))
vertex_c = surface.add_vertex(Vertex(2.0, 2.0, 2.0))
surface.triangles.append(Triangle((vertex_a, vertex_b, vertex_c)))
surface.write_triangular('somewhere/else/lh.pial')

List Labels in Annotation File

from freesurfer_surface import Annotation

annotation = Annotation.read('tests/subjects/fabian/label/lh.aparc.annot')
for label in annotation.labels.values():
    print(label.index, label.hex_color_code, label.name)

or

$ freesurfer-annotation-labels tests/subjects/fabian/label/lh.aparc.annot

Find Border of Labelled Region

from freesurfer_surface import Surface
surface = Surface.read_triangular('bert/surf/lh.pial'))
surface.load_annotation_file('bert/label/lh.aparc.annot')
region, = filter(lambda l: l.name == 'precentral',
                 annotation.labels.values())
print(surface.find_label_border_polygonal_chains(region))
