wb_command - command-line program for performing a variety of algorithmic tasks using
volume, surface, and grayordinate data
SYNOPSIS
<class-name>
DESCRIPTION
-add-to-spec-file ADD A FILE TO A SPECIFICATION FILE
wb_command -add-to-spec-file
<specfile> - the specification file to add to <structure> - the structure of the
data file <filename> - the path to the file
The resulting spec file overwrites the existing spec file.
If the spec
file doesn't exist, it is created with default metadata.
The structure
argument must be one of the following:
CORTEX_LEFT CORTEX_RIGHT CEREBELLUM ACCUMBENS_LEFT ACCUMBENS_RIGHT ALL_GREY_MATTER
ALL_WHITE_MATTER AMYGDALA_LEFT AMYGDALA_RIGHT BRAIN_STEM CAUDATE_LEFT CAUDATE_RIGHT
CEREBELLAR_WHITE_MATTER_LEFT CEREBELLAR_WHITE_MATTER_RIGHT CEREBELLUM_LEFT
CEREBELLUM_RIGHT CEREBRAL_WHITE_MATTER_LEFT CEREBRAL_WHITE_MATTER_RIGHT CORTEX
DIENCEPHALON_VENTRAL_LEFT DIENCEPHALON_VENTRAL_RIGHT HIPPOCAMPUS_LEFT
HIPPOCAMPUS_RIGHT INVALID OTHER OTHER_GREY_MATTER OTHER_WHITE_MATTER PALLIDUM_LEFT
PALLIDUM_RIGHT PUTAMEN_LEFT PUTAMEN_RIGHT THALAMUS_LEFT THALAMUS_RIGHT
-backend-average-dense-roi CONNECTOME DB BACKEND COMMAND FOR CIFTI AVERAGE DENSE ROI
wb_command -backend-average-dense-roi
<index-list> - comma separated list of cifti indexes to average <out-file> - file
to write the average row to
This command is probably not the one you are looking for, try
-cifti-average-dense-roi. It takes the list of cifti files to average from
standard input, and writes its output as little endian, 32-bit integer of row size
followed by the row as 32-bit floats.
-backend-average-roi-correlation CONNECTOME DB BACKEND COMMAND FOR CIFTI AVERAGE ROI
CORRELATION
wb_command -backend-average-roi-correlation
<index-list> - comma separated list of cifti indexes to average and then
correlate
<out-file> - file to write the average row to
This command is probably not the one you are looking for, try
-cifti-average-roi-correlation. It takes the list of cifti files to average from
standard input, and writes its output as little endian, 32-bit integer of row size
followed by the row as 32-bit floats.
-border-export-color-table WRITE BORDER NAMES AND COLORS AS TEXT
wb_command -border-export-color-table
<border-file> - the input border file <table-out> - output - the output text file
[-class-colors] - use class colors instead of the name colors
Takes the names and colors of each border, and writes it to the same format as
-metric-label-import expects. By default, the borders are colored by border name,
specify -class-colors to color them by class instead. The key values start at 1
and follow the order of the borders in the file.
-border-file-export-to-caret5 EXPORT BORDER FILE TO CARET5 FILE FORMAT
wb_command -border-file-export-to-caret5
<border-file> - workbench border file <output-file-prefix> - prefix for name of
output caret5
border/borderproj/bordercolor files
[-surface] - repeatable - specify an input surface
<surface-in> - a surface file for unprojection of borders
A Workbench border file may contain borders for multiple structures and borders
that are both projected and unprojected. It also contains a color table for the
borders.
Caret5 has both border (unprojected) and border projection (projected) files. In
addition, each Caret5 border or border projection file typically contains data for
a single structure. Caret5 also uses a border color file that associates colors
with the names of the borders.
This command will try to output both Caret5 border and border projection files.
Each output border/border projection file will contains data for one structure so
there may be many files created. The structure name is included in the name of
each border or border projection file that is created.
One Caret5 border color file will also be produced by this command.
Providing surface(s) as input parameters is optional, but recommended. Surfaces
may be needed to create both projected and/or unprojected coordinates of borders.
If there is a failure to produce an output border or border projection due to a
missing surface with the matching structure, an error message will be displayed and
some output files will not be created.
When writing new files, this command will overwrite a file with the same name.
-border-merge MERGE BORDER FILES INTO A NEW FILE
wb_command -border-merge
<border-file-out> - output - the output border file
[-border] - repeatable - specify an input border file
<border-file-in> - a border file to use borders from
[-select] - repeatable - select a single border to use
<border> - the border number or name
[-up-to] - use an inclusive range of borders
<last-border> - the number or name of the last column to include
[-reverse] - use the range in reverse order
Takes one or more border files and makes a new border file from the borders in
them.
Example: wb_command -border-merge out.border -border first.border -select 1 -border
second.border
This example would take the first border from first.border, followed by all borders
from second.border, and write these to out.border.
-border-resample RESAMPLE A BORDER FILE TO A DIFFERENT MESH
wb_command -border-resample
<border-in> - the border file to resample <current-sphere> - a sphere surface with
the mesh that the metric is
currently on
<new-sphere> - a sphere surface that is in register with <current-sphere>
and has the desired output mesh
<border-out> - output - the output border file
Resamples a border file, given two spherical surfaces that are in register. Only
borders that have the same structure as current-sphere will be resampled.

<metric-out> - output - the output metric file
[-border] - create ROI for only one border
<name> - the name of the border
[-inverse] - use inverse selection (outside border)
By default, draws ROIs inside all borders in the border file, as separate metric
columns.
-border-to-vertices DRAW BORDERS AS VERTICES IN A METRIC FILE
wb_command -border-to-vertices
<surface> - the surface the borders are drawn on <border-file> - the border file
<metric-out> - output - the output metric file
[-border] - create ROI for only one border
<name> - the name of the border
Outputs a metric with 1s on vertices that follow a border, and 0s elsewhere. By
default, a separate metric column is created for each border.
-cifti-all-labels-to-rois MAKE ROIS FROM ALL LABELS IN A CIFTI LABEL MAP
wb_command -cifti-all-labels-to-rois
<label-in> - the input cifti label file <map> - the number or name of the label map
to use <cifti-out> - output - the output cifti file
The output cifti file has a column for each label in the specified input map, other
than the ??? label, each of which contains an ROI of all brainordinates that are
set to the corresponding label.
-cifti-average AVERAGE CIFTI FILES
wb_command -cifti-average
<cifti-out> - output - output cifti file
[-exclude-outliers] - exclude outliers by standard deviation of each
element across files <sigma-below> - number of standard deviations below the mean
to
include
<sigma-above> - number of standard deviations above the mean to
include

<cifti-in> - the input cifti file
[-weight] - give a weight for this file
<weight> - the weight to use
Averages cifti files together.
Files without -weight specified are given
a weight of 1.
If -exclude-outliers is specified, at each element, the
data across all files is taken as a set, its unweighted mean and sample standard
deviation are found, and values outside the specified number of standard deviations
are excluded from the (potentially weighted) average at that element.
-cifti-average-dense-roi AVERAGE CIFTI ROWS ACROSS SUBJECTS BY ROI
wb_command -cifti-average-dense-roi
<cifti-out> - output - output cifti dscalar file

correction <cerebellum-surf> - the cerebellum surface file
[-cifti] - repeatable - specify an input cifti file
<cifti-in> - a cifti file to average across
Averages rows for each map of the ROI(s), across all files.
ROI maps are
treated as weighting functions, including negative values.
For
efficiency, ensure that everything that is not intended to be used is zero in the
ROI map. If -cifti-roi is specified, -left-roi, -right-roi, -cerebellum-roi, and
-vol-roi must not be specified. If multiple non-cifti ROI files are specified,
they must have the same number of columns.
-cifti-average-roi-correlation CORRELATE ROI AVERAGE WITH ALL ROWS THEN AVERAGE ACROSS
SUBJECTS
wb_command -cifti-average-roi-correlation

[-cifti] - repeatable - specify an input cifti file
<cifti-in> - a cifti file to average across
Averages rows for each map of the ROI(s), takes the correlation of each ROI average
to the rest of the rows in the same file, then averages the results across all
files. ROIs are always treated as weighting functions, including negative values.
For efficiency, ensure that everything that is not intended to be used is zero in
the ROI map. If -cifti-roi is specified, -left-roi, -right-roi, -cerebellum-roi,
and -vol-roi must not be specified. If multiple non-cifti ROI files are specified,
they must have the same number of columns.

<cifti> - the cifti file to modify
[-row-timestep] - set the timestep along rows
<seconds> - seconds per timestep

This command is used to convert a full CIFTI matrix to/from formats that can be
used by programs that don't understand CIFTI. If you want to write an existing
CIFTI file with a different CIFTI version, see -file-convert, and its
-cifti-version-convert option. If you want part of the CIFTI file as a metric,
label, or volume file, see -cifti-separate. If you want to create a CIFTI file
from metric and/or volume files, see the -cifti-create-* commands. You must
specify exactly one of -to-gifti-ext, -from-gifti-ext, -to-nifti, -from-nifti,
-to-text, or -from-text. The -transpose option to -from-gifti-ext is needed if the
replacement binary file is in column-major order. The -unit options accept these
values:
SECOND HERTZ METER RADIAN
-cifti-convert-to-scalar CHANGE A CIFTI DIMENSION TO NAMED SCALAR MAPS

ROW or COLUMN <cifti-out> - output - output cifti file
[-name-file] - specify names for the maps
<file> - text file containing map names, one per line
Creates a new cifti file with the same data as the input, but with one of the
dimensions set to contain strings identifying each map. Specifying ROW will
convert a dtseries file to a dscalar file.

<data-cifti> - the cifti file to use the data from <replace-dir> - which direction
on <data-cifti> to replace the mapping <template-cifti> - a cifti file containing
the desired mapping <template-dir> - which direction on <template-cifti> to use the
mapping
from
<cifti-out> - output - the output cifti file
<data-cifti> must have the same length along the replace direction as
<template-cifti> has along the template direction. Each direction argument must be
either ROW or COLUMN.
-cifti-correlation GENERATE CORRELATION OF ROWS IN A CIFTI FILE

[-roi-override] - perform correlation from a subset of rows to all rows
[-left-roi] - use an roi for left hempsphere
<roi-metric> - the left roi as a metric file
[-right-roi] - use an roi for right hempsphere
<roi-metric> - the right roi as a metric file
[-cerebellum-roi] - use an roi for cerebellum
<roi-metric> - the cerebellum roi as a metric file
[-vol-roi] - use an roi for volume
<roi-vol> - the volume roi file
[-cifti-roi] - use a cifti file for combined rois
<roi-cifti> - the cifti roi file
[-weights] - specify column weights
<weight-file> - text file containing one weight per column
[-fisher-z] - apply fisher small z transform (ie, artanh) to correlation
[-no-demean] - instead of correlation, do dot product of rows, then
normalize by diagonal
[-covariance] - compute covariance instead of correlation
[-mem-limit] - restrict memory usage
<limit-GB> - memory limit in gigabytes
For each row (or each row inside an roi if -roi-override is specified), correlate
to all other rows. The -cifti-roi suboption to -roi-override may not be specified
with any other -*-roi suboption, but you may specify the other -*-roi suboptions
together.
When using the -fisher-z option, the output is NOT a Z-score, it is artanh(r), to
do further math on this output, consider using -cifti-math.
Restricting the memory usage will make it calculate the output in chunks, and if
the input file size is more than 70% of the memory limit, it will also read through
the input file as rows are required, resulting in several passes through the input
file (once per chunk). Memory limit does not need to be an integer, you may also
specify 0 to calculate a single output row at a time (this may be very slow).

kernel, in mm
[-volume-presmooth] - smooth the volume before computing the gradient
<volume-kernel> - the sigma for the gaussian volume smoothing kernel,
in mm
[-undo-fisher-z] - apply the inverse fisher small z transform to the
input
[-fisher-z] - apply the fisher small z transform to the correlations
before taking the gradient
[-surface-exclude] - exclude vertices near each seed vertex from
computation <distance> - geodesic distance from seed vertex for the exclusion
zone, in mm
[-volume-exclude] - exclude voxels near each seed voxel from computation
<distance> - distance from seed voxel for the exclusion zone, in mm
[-covariance] - compute covariance instead of correlation
[-mem-limit] - restrict memory usage
<limit-GB> - memory limit in gigabytes
For each structure, compute the correlation of the rows in the structure, and take
the gradients of the resulting rows, then average them. Memory limit does not need
to be an integer, you may also specify 0 to use as little memory as possible (this
may be very slow).
-cifti-create-dense-from-template CREATE CIFTI WITH MATCHING DENSE MAP
wb_command -cifti-create-dense-from-template

structure's data <structure> - which structure to put the volume file into
<volume-in> - the input volume file
[-from-cropped] - the input is cropped to the size of the volume
structure
This command helps you make a new dscalar, dtseries, or dlabel cifti file that
matches the brainordinate space used in another cifti file. The template file must
have the desired brainordinate space in the mapping along the column direction (for
dtseries, dscalar, dlabel, and symmetric dconn this is always the case). All input
cifti files must have a brain models mapping along column and use the same volume
space and/or surface vertex count as the template for structures that they contain.
If any input files contain label data, then input files with non-label data are not
allowed, and the -series option may not be used.
Any structure that isn't covered by an input is filled with zeros or the unlabeled
key.
The <structure> argument of -metric, -label or -volume must be one of the
following:
CORTEX_LEFT CORTEX_RIGHT CEREBELLUM ACCUMBENS_LEFT ACCUMBENS_RIGHT ALL_GREY_MATTER

mapping along columns in <cifti-b> becomes the mapping along rows in the output.
When using the -fisher-z option, the output is NOT a Z-score, it is artanh(r), to
do further math on this output, consider using -cifti-math.

component
For all data values designated as bad, if they neighbor a good value or are within
the specified distance of a good value in the same kind of model, replace the value
with a distance weighted average of nearby good values, otherwise set the value to
zero. If -nearest is specified, it will use the value from the closest good value
within range instead of a weighted average.
.The -*-corrected-areas options are intended for dilating on group average
surfaces, but it is only an approximate correction for the reduction of structure
in a group average surface.
If -bad-brainordinate-roi is specified, all values, including those with value
zero, are good, except for locations with a positive value in the ROI. If it is
not specified, only values equal to zero are bad.

cifti file. The COLUMN direction should be faster, and is the direction that works
on dtseries. For dconn, you probably want ROW, unless you are using

??? label
[-unlabeled-value] - set the value that will be interpreted as unlabeled
<value> - the numeric value for unlabeled (default 0)
[-drop-unused-labels] - remove any unused label values from the label
table
Creates a cifti label file from a cifti file with label-like values.
You
may specify the empty string ('' will work on linux/mac) for <label-list-file>,
which will be treated as if it is an empty file. The label list file must have
lines of the following format:
<labelname> <value> <red> <green> <blue> <alpha>
Do not specify the "unlabeled" key in the file, it is assumed that 0 means not
labeled unless -unlabeled-value is specified. Label names must be on a separate
line, but may contain spaces or other unusual characters (but not newline).
Whitespace is trimmed from both ends of the label name, but is kept if it is in the
middle of a label. The values of red, green, blue and alpha must be integers from
0 to 255, and will specify the color the label is drawn as (alpha of 255 means
opaque, which is probably what you want). By default, it will set new label names
with names of LABEL_# for any values encountered that are not mentioned in the list
file, specify -discard-others to instead set these to the "unlabeled" key.
-cifti-label-to-roi MAKE A CIFTI LABEL INTO AN ROI

For each map in <label-in>, a map is created in <scalar-out> where all locations
labeled with <label-name> or with a key of <label-key> are given a value of 1, and
all other locations are given 0. Exactly one of -name and -key must be specified.

-cifti-math EVALUATE EXPRESSION ON CIFTI FILES

<replace> - value to replace NaN with
[-override-mapping-check] - don't check the mappings for compatibility,

<name> - the name of the variable, as used in the expression <cifti> - the cifti
file to use as this variable
[-select] - repeatable - select a single index from a dimension
<dim> - the dimension to select from (1-based) <index> - the index to use (1-based)
[-repeat] - repeat the selected values for each index of output in
this dimension
This command evaluates <expression> at each matrix element independently. There
must be at least one -var option (to get the output layout from), even if the
<name> specified in it isn't used in <expression>.
To select a single column from a 2D file (most cifti files are 2D), use -select 1
<index>, where <index> is 1-based. To select a single row from a 2D file, use
-select 2 <index>. Where -select is not used, the cifti files must have compatible
mappings (e.g., brain models and parcels mappings must match exactly except for
parcel names). Use -override-mapping-check to skip this checking.
Filenames are not valid in <expression>, use a variable name and a -var option with
matching <name> to specify an input file. The format of <expression> is as
follows:
Expressions consist of constants, variables, operators, parentheses, and functions,
in infix notation, such as 'exp(-x + 3) * scale'. Variables are strings of any
length, using the characters a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and _, but may not take the name of a
named constant. Currently, there is only one named constant, PI. The operators
are +, -, *, /, ^, >, <, >=, <=, ==, !=, !, &&, ||. These behave as in C, except
that ^ is exponentiation, i.e. pow(x, y), and takes higher precedence than other
binary operators (also, '-3^-4^-5' means '-(3^(-(4^-5)))'). The <=, >=, ==, and !=
operators are given a small amount of wiggle room, equal to one millionth of the
smaller of the absolute values of the values being compared.
Comparison and logical operators return 0 or 1, you can do masking with expressions
like 'x * (mask > 0)'. For all logical operators, an input is considered true iff
it is greater than 0. The expression '0 < x < 5' is not syntactically wrong, but
it will NOT do what is desired, because it is evaluated left to right, i.e. '((0 <
x) < 5)', which will always return 1, as both possible results of a comparison are
less than 5. A warning is generated if an expression of this type is detected.
Use something like 'x > 0 && x < 5' to get the desired behavior.
Whitespace between elements is ignored, ' sin ( 2 * x ) ' is equivalent to
'sin(2*x)', but 's in(2*x)' is an error. Implied multiplication is not allowed,
the expression '2x' will be parsed as a variable. Parentheses are (), do not use
[] or {}. Functions require parentheses, the expression 'sin x' is an error.
The following functions are supported:
sin: 1 argument, the sine of the argument (units are radians) cos: 1 argument, the
cosine of the argument (units are radians) tan: 1 argument, the tangent of the
argument (units are radians) asin: 1 argument, the inverse of sine of the argument,
in radians acos: 1 argument, the inverse of cosine of the argument, in radians
atan: 1 argument, the inverse of tangent of the argument, in radians atan2: 2
arguments, atan2(y, x) returns the inverse of tangent of
(y/x), in radians, determining quadrant by the sign of both arguments
sinh: 1 argument, the hyperbolic sine of the argument cosh: 1 argument, the
hyperbolic cosine of the argument tanh: 1 argument, the hyperboloc tangent of the
argument asinh: 1 argument, the inverse hyperbolic sine of the argument acosh: 1
argument, the inverse hyperbolic cosine of the argument atanh: 1 argument, the
inverse hyperboloc tangent of the argument ln: 1 argument, the natural logarithm of
the argument exp: 1 argument, the constant e raised to the power of the argument
log: 1 argument, the base 10 logarithm of the argument sqrt: 1 argument, the square
root of the argument abs: 1 argument, the absolute value of the argument floor: 1
argument, the largest integer not greater than the argument round: 1 argument, the
nearest integer, with ties rounded away from
zero
ceil: 1 argument, the smallest integer not less than the argument min: 2 arguments,
min(x, y) returns y if (x > y), x otherwise max: 2 arguments, max(x, y) returns y
if (x < y), x otherwise mod: 2 arguments, mod(x, y) = x - y * floor(x / y), or 0 if
y == 0 clamp: 3 arguments, clamp(x, low, high) = min(max(x, low), high)

maximum value INDEXMIN: the 1-based index of the minimum value SUM: add all values
PRODUCT: multiply all values MEAN: the mean of the data STDEV: the standard
deviation (N denominator) SAMPSTDEV: the sample standard deviation (N-1
denominator) VARIANCE: the variance of the data MEDIAN: the median of the data

<cifti-in> - input parcellated cifti file <direction> - which dimension to reorder
along, ROW or COLUMN <reorder-list> - a text file containing the desired order
transformation <cifti-out> - output - the reordered cifti file
The mapping along the specified direction must be parcels, scalars, or labels. For
pscalar or ptseries, use COLUMN to reorder the parcels. For dlabel, use ROW. The
<reorder-list> file must contain 1-based indices separated by whitespace (spaces,
newlines, tabs, etc), with as many indices as <cifti-in> has along the specified
dimension. These indices specify which current index should end up in that
position, for instance, if the current order is 'A B C D', and the desired order is
'D A B C', the text file should contain '4 1 2 3'.

Resample cifti data to a different brainordinate space.
Use COLUMN for
the direction to resample dscalar, dlabel, or dtseries.
Resampling both
dimensions of a dconn requires running this command twice, once with COLUMN and
once with ROW. If you are resampling a dconn and your machine has a large amount
of memory, you might consider using -cifti-resample-dconn-memory to avoid writing
and rereading an intermediate file. If spheres are not specified for a surface
structure which exists in the cifti files, its data is copied without resampling or
dilation. Dilation is done with the 'nearest' method, and is done on <new-sphere>
for surface data. Volume components are padded before dilation so that dilation
doesn't run into the edge of the component bounding box.
The recommended resampling methods are ADAP_BARY_AREA and CUBIC (cubic spline),
except for label data which should use ADAP_BARY_AREA and ENCLOSING_VOXEL.
The <volume-method> argument must be one of the following:
CUBIC ENCLOSING_VOXEL TRILINEAR
The <surface-method> argument must be one of the following:

do area correction based on <current-area> - a metric file with vertex areas for
the current

<new-area> - a metric file with vertex areas for the new mesh
This command does the same thing as running -cifti-resample twice, but uses memory
up to approximately 2x the size that the intermediate file would be. This is
because the intermediate dconn is kept in memory, rather than written to disk, and
the components before and after resampling/dilation have to be in memory at the
same time during the relevant computation. If spheres are not specified for a
surface structure which exists in the cifti files, its data is copied without
resampling or dilation. Dilation is done with the 'nearest' method, and is done on
<new-sphere> for surface data. Volume components are padded before dilation so
that dilation doesn't run into the edge of the component bounding box.
The <volume-method> argument must be one of the following:
CUBIC ENCLOSING_VOXEL TRILINEAR
The <surface-method> argument must be one of the following:
ADAP_BARY_AREA BARYCENTRIC

specified roi(s) are removed from the file. If -cifti-roi is specified, no other
-*-roi option may be specified. If not using -cifti-roi, any -*-roi options not
present will discard the relevant structure, if present in the input file.

For each nonzero value in each map, make a map with an ROI around that location.
If the -gaussian option is specified, then normalized gaussian kernels are output
instead of ROIs. The <method> argument to -overlap-logic must be one of ALLOW,
CLOSEST, or EXCLUDE. ALLOW is the default, and means that ROIs are treated
independently and may overlap. CLOSEST means that ROIs may not overlap, and that
no ROI contains vertices that are closer to a different seed vertex. EXCLUDE means
that ROIs may not overlap, and that any vertex within range of more than one ROI
does not belong to any ROI.

For dtseries, dscalar, and dlabel, use COLUMN for <direction>, and if you have a
symmetric dconn, COLUMN is more efficient.
You must specify at least one of -metric, -volume-all, -volume, or -label for this
command to do anything. Output volumes will spatially line up with their original
positions, whether or not they are cropped.

smoothing kernel,

mm

them from the left surface <area-metric> - the corrected vertex areas, as a metric
[-right-surface] - specify the right surface to use

[-fix-zeros-volume] - treat values of zero in the volume as missing data
[-fix-zeros-surface] - treat values of zero on the surface as missing
data
[-merged-volume] - smooth across subcortical structure boundaries
The input cifti file must have a brain models mapping on the chosen dimension,
columns for .dtseries, and either for .dconn. By default, data in different
structures is smoothed independently (i.e., "parcel constrained" smoothing), so
volume structures that touch do not smooth across this boundary. Specify
-merged-volume to ignore these boundaries. Surface smoothing uses the
GEO_GAUSS_AREA smoothing method.
The -*-corrected-areas options are intended for when it is unavoidable to smooth on
group average surfaces, it is only an approximate correction for the reduction of
structure in a group average surface. It is better to smooth the data on
individuals before averaging, when feasible.
The -fix-zeros-* options will treat values of zero as lack of data, and not use
that value when generating the smoothed values, but will fill zeros with
extrapolated values. The ROI should have a brain models mapping along columns,
exactly matching the mapping of the chosen direction in the input file. Data
outside the ROI is ignored.

For each column of the input, a single number is printed, resulting from the
specified reduction or percentile operation. Use -column to only give output for a
single column. Use -roi to consider only the data within a region. Exactly one of
-reduce or -percentile must be specified.

Does a vector operation on two cifti files (that must have a multiple of 3
columns). Either of the inputs may have multiple vectors (more than 3 columns),
but not both (at least one must have exactly 3 columns). The -magnitude and
-normalize-output options may not be specified together, or with an operation that
returns a scalar (dot product). The <operation> parameter must be one of the
following:

[-sample] - estimate population stdev from the sample
[-percentile] - compute weighted percentile
<percent> - the percentile to find
[-sum] - compute weighted sum

If the mapping along column is brain models, for each column of the input, the
specified operation is done on each surface and across all voxels, and the results
are printed separately. For other mapping types, the operation is done on each
column, and one number per map is printed. Exactly one of -spatial-weights or
-cifti-weights must be specified. Use -column to only give output for a single
column. Use -roi to consider only the data within a region. Exactly one of -mean,
-stdev, -percentile or -sum must be specified.
Using -sum with -spatial-weights (or with -cifti-weights and a cifti containing
weights of similar meaning) is equivalent to integrating with respect to area and
volume.

[-add-to-files] [-m <member-name> <data-type> <description>]...
If the -add-to-files is not specified, the code for the header and implementation
files is printed to the terminal.
If the -add-to-files is specified, the class files are expected to be in the
current directory and named <class-name>.h and <class-name>.cxx. The header file
must contain this text in its private section:
// ADD_NEW_MEMBERS_HERE
The implementation file must contain this text in its public section:
// ADD_NEW_METHODS_HERE
If either of these text string are missing, the code that would have been added to
the file(s) is printed to the terminal.
For each member, three text strings separated by a space must be provided and they
are the name of the member its data type, and a description of the member. If the
description contains spaces the description must be enclosed in double quotes ("").
If the data type begins with a capital letter, it is assumed to be the name of a
class. In this case, both const and non-const getters are created but not setter
is created. Otherwise, the data type is expected to be a primitive type and both a
getter and a setter are created. Note that AString and QString are treated as
primitive types.

three subvolumes at the coordinate and adding the sampled values to the coordinate
vector, they use the NIFTI coordinate system, that is, X is left to right, Y is
posterior to anterior, and Z is inferior to superior.
NOTE: this command does not invert the warpfield, and to warp a surface, you must
use the inverse of the warpfield that warps the corresponding volume.

options, and any -to option that takes volumes may be specified more than once.
-create-signed-distance-volume CREATE SIGNED DISTANCE VOLUME FROM SURFACE
wb_command -create-signed-distance-volume

[-winding] - winding method for point inside surface test
<method> - name of the method (default EVEN_ODD)
Computes the signed distance function of the surface.
Exact distance is
calculated by finding the closest point on any surface triangle to the center of
the voxel. Approximate distance is calculated starting with these distances, using
dijkstra's method with a neighborhood of voxels. Specifying too small of an exact
distance may produce unexpected results. Valid specifiers for winding methods are
as follows:
EVEN_ODD (default) NEGATIVE NONZERO NORMALS
The NORMALS method uses the normals of triangles and edges, or the closest triangle
hit by a ray from the point. This method may be slightly faster, but is only
reliable for a closed surface that does not cross through itself. All other
methods count entry (positive) and exit (negative) crossings of a vertical ray from
the point, then counts as inside if the total is odd, negative, or nonzero,
respectively.

For each vertex, this command finds the closest fiber population that satisfies the
<direction> test, and computes the absolute value of the dot product of the surface
normal and the normalized mean direction of each fiber. The <direction> test must
be one of INSIDE, OUTSIDE, or ANY, which causes the command to only use fiber
populations that are inside the surface, outside the surface, or to not care which
direction it is from the surface. Each fiber population is output in a separate
metric column.

all other locations are given 0. Exactly one of -name and -key must be specified.
Specify -map to use only one map from <label-in>.
-label-dilate DILATE A LABEL FILE
wb_command -label-dilate
<label> - the input label <surface> - the surface to dilate on <dilate-dist> -
distance in mm to dilate the labels <label-out> - output - the output label file
[-bad-vertex-roi] - specify an roi of vertices to overwrite, rather than

positive value in the ROI. If it is not specified, only vertices with the
unlabeled key are bad.
-label-export-table EXPORT LABEL TABLE FROM GIFTI AS TEXT
wb_command -label-export-table
<label-in> - the input label file <table-out> - output - the output text file
Takes the label table from the gifti label file, and writes it to a text format
matching what is expected by -metric-label-import.
-label-mask MASK A LABEL FILE
wb_command -label-mask
<label> - the label file to mask <mask> - the mask metric <label-out> - output -
the output label file
[-column] - select a single column
<column> - the column number or name
By default, the output label is a copy of the input label, but with the 'unused'
label wherever the mask metric is not positive. if -column is specified, the
output contains only one column, the masked version of the specified input column.
-label-merge MERGE LABEL FILES INTO A NEW FILE
wb_command -label-merge
<label-out> - output - the output label
[-label] - repeatable - specify an input label
<label-in> - a label file to use columns from
[-column] - repeatable - select a single column to use
<column> - the column number or name

Example: wb_command -label-merge out.label.gii -label first.label.gii -column 1
-label second.label.gii
This example would take the first column from first.label.gii and all subvolumes
from second.label.gii, and write these to out.label.gii.

[-column] - select a single column to use
<column> - the column number or name
<remap-file> should have lines of the form 'oldkey newkey', like so:
3 5 5 8 8 2
This would change the current label with key '3' to use the key '5' instead, 5
would use 8, and 8 would use 2. Any collision in key values results in the label
that was not specified in the remap file getting remapped to an otherwise unused
key. Remapping more than one key to the same new key, or the same key to more than
one new key, results in an error. This will not change the appearance of the file
when displayed, it will change the keys in the data at the same time.
-label-resample RESAMPLE A LABEL FILE TO A DIFFERENT MESH
wb_command -label-resample
<label-in> - the label file to resample <current-sphere> - a sphere surface with
the mesh that the label file is
currently on

[-current-roi] - use an input roi on the current mesh to exclude non-data
vertices <roi-metric> - the roi, as a metric file
[-valid-roi-out] - output the ROI of vertices that got data from valid
source vertices <roi-out> - output - the output roi as a metric
[-largest] - use only the label of the vertex with the largest weight
Resamples a label file, given two spherical surfaces that are in register. If the
method does area correction, exactly one of -area-surfs or -area-metrics must be
specified.
The -largest option results in nearest vertex behavior when used with BARYCENTRIC,
it uses the value of the source vertex that has the largest weight. When -largest
is not specified, the vertex weights are summed according to which label they
correspond to, and the label with the largest sum is used.
The <method> argument must be one of the following:
ADAP_BARY_AREA BARYCENTRIC
The ADAP_BARY_AREA method is recommended for label data, because it should be
better at resolving vertices that are near multiple labels, or in case of
downsampling.

[-from-nifti] - convert nifti to metric
<nifti-in> - the nifti file to convert <surface-in> - surface file to use number of
nodes and structure from <metric-out> - output - the output metric file
The purpose of this command is to convert between metric files and nifti1 so that
gifti-unaware programs can operate on the data. You must specify exactly one of
the options.
-metric-dilate DILATE A METRIC FILE
wb_command -metric-dilate
<metric> - the metric to dilate <surface> - the surface to compute on <distance> -
distance in mm to dilate <metric-out> - output - the output metric
[-bad-vertex-roi] - specify an roi of vertices to overwrite, rather than
vertices with value zero <roi-metric> - metric file, positive values denote
vertices to have
their values replaced
[-data-roi] - specify an roi of where there is data
<roi-metric> - metric file, positive values denote vertices that have
data
[-column] - select a single column to dilate
<column> - the column number or name
[-nearest] - use the nearest good value instead of a weighted average
[-linear] - fill in values with linear interpolation along strongest
gradient
[-exponent] - use a different exponent in the weighting function
<exponent> - exponent 'n' to use in (area / (distance ^ n)) as the
weighting function (default 2)
[-corrected-areas] - vertex areas to use instead of computing them from
the surface <area-metric> - the corrected vertex areas, as a metric
For all metric vertices that are designated as bad, if they neighbor a non-bad
vertex with data or are within the specified distance of such a vertex, replace the
value with a distance weighted average of nearby non-bad vertices that have data,
otherwise set the value to zero. No matter how small <distance> is, dilation will
always use at least the immediate neighbor vertices. If -nearest is specified, it
will use the value from the closest non-bad vertex with data within range instead
of a weighted average.
If -bad-vertex-roi is specified, only vertices with a positive value in the ROI are
bad. If it is not specified, only vertices that have data, with a value of zero,
are bad. If -data-roi is not specified, all vertices are assumed to have data.
Note that the -corrected-areas option uses an approximate correction for the change
in distances along a group average surface.

wb_command -metric-estimate-fwhm
<surface> - the surface to use for distance and neighbor information <metric-in> -
the input metric

Estimates the smoothness of the metric columns, printing the estimates to standard
output. These estimates ignore variation in vertex spacing.
-metric-extrema FIND EXTREMA IN A METRIC FILE
wb_command -metric-extrema
<surface> - the surface to use for distance information <metric-in> - the metric to
find the extrema of <distance> - the minimum distance between identified extrema of
the same
type
<metric-out> - output - the output extrema metric
[-presmooth] - smooth the metric before finding extrema
<kernel> - the sigma for the gaussian smoothing kernel, in mm
[-roi] - ignore values outside the selected area
<roi-metric> - the area to find extrema in, as a metric
[-threshold] - ignore small extrema
<low> - the largest value to consider for being a minimum <high> - the smallest
value to consider for being a maximum
[-sum-columns] - output the sum of the extrema columns instead of each
column separately
[-consolidate-mode] - use consolidation of local minima instead of a
large neighborhood
[-only-maxima] - only find the maxima
[-only-minima] - only find the minima
[-column] - select a single column to find extrema in
<column> - the column number or name
Finds extrema in a metric file, such that no two extrema of the same type are
within <distance> of each other. The extrema are labeled as -1 for minima, 1 for
maxima, 0 otherwise. If -only-maxima or -only-minima is specified, then it will
ignore extrema not of the specified type. These options are mutually exclusive.
If -roi is specified, not only is data outside the roi not used, but any vertex on
the edge of the ROI will never be counted as an extrema, in case the ROI cuts
across a gradient, which would otherwise generate extrema where there should be
none.
If -sum-columns is specified, these extrema columns are summed, and the output has
a single column with this result.
By default, a datapoint is an extrema only if it is more extreme than every other
datapoint that is within <distance> from it. If -consolidate-mode is used, it
instead starts by finding all datapoints that are more extreme than their immediate
neighbors, then while there are any extrema within <distance> of each other, take
the two extrema closest to each other and merge them into one by a weighted average
based on how many original extrema have been merged into each.
By default, all input columns are used with no smoothing, use -column to specify a
single column to use, and -presmooth to smooth the input before finding the
extrema.

distances that don't cross a sulcus/gyrus, and the correlation to the closest
vertex crossing a sulcus/gyrus. A vertex is considered to cross a sulcus/gyrus if
the 3D distance is less than a third of the geodesic distance. The output file
contains the ratio between these correlations, and some additional maps to help
explain the ratio.

Outputs a metric with nonzero integers for all vertices within a large enough
cluster, and zeros elsewhere. The integers denote cluster membership (by default,
first cluster found will use value 1, second cluster 2, etc). By default, values
greater than <value-threshold> are considered to be in a cluster, use -less-than to
test for values less than the threshold. To apply this as a mask to the data, or
to do more complicated thresholding, see -metric-math.
-metric-gradient SURFACE GRADIENT OF A METRIC FILE
wb_command -metric-gradient
<surface> - the surface to compute the gradient on <metric-in> - the metric to
compute the gradient of <metric-out> - output - the magnitude of the gradient
[-presmooth] - smooth the metric before computing the gradient
<kernel> - the sigma for the gaussian smoothing kernel, in mm
[-roi] - select a region of interest to take the gradient of
<roi-metric> - the area to take the gradient within, as a metric
[-match-columns] - for each input column, use the corresponding column
from the roi
[-vectors] - output gradient vectors
<vector-metric-out> - output - the vectors as a metric file
[-column] - select a single column to compute the gradient of
<column> - the column number or name
[-corrected-areas] - vertex areas to use instead of computing them from
the surface <area-metric> - the corrected vertex areas, as a metric
[-average-normals] - average the normals of each vertex with its
neighbors before using them to compute the gradient
At each vertex, the immediate neighbors are unfolded onto a plane tangent to the
surface at the vertex (specifically, perpendicular to the normal). The gradient is
computed using a regression between the unfolded positions of the vertices and
their values. The gradient is then given by the slopes of the regression, and
reconstructed as a 3D gradient vector. By default, takes the gradient of all
columns, with no presmoothing, across the whole surface, without averaging the
normals of the surface among neighbors.
When using -corrected-areas, note that it is an approximate correction. Doing
smoothing on individual surfaces before averaging/gradient is preferred, when
possible, in order to make use of the original surface structure.
Specifying an ROI will restrict the gradient to only use data from where the ROI
metric is positive, and output zeros anywhere the ROI metric is not positive.
By default, the first column of the roi metric is used for all input columns. When
-match-columns is specified to the -roi option, the input and roi metrics must have
the same number of columns, and for each input column's index, the same column
index is used in the roi metric. If the -match-columns option to -roi is used
while the -column option is also used, the number of columns of the roi metric must
match the input metric, and it will use the roi column with the index of the
selected input column.
The vector output metric is organized such that the X, Y, and Z components from a
single input column are consecutive columns.
-metric-label-import IMPORT A GIFTI LABEL FILE FROM A METRIC FILE
wb_command -metric-label-import
<input> - the input metric file <label-list-file> - text file containing the values
and names for labels <output> - output - the output gifti label file
[-discard-others] - set any values not mentioned in the label list to the
??? label
[-unlabeled-value] - set the value that will be interpreted as unlabeled
<value> - the numeric value for unlabeled (default 0)
[-column] - select a single column to import
<column> - the column number or name
[-drop-unused-labels] - remove any unused label values from the label
table
Creates a new gifti label file from a metric file with label-like values. You may
specify the empty string ('' will work on linux/mac) for <label-list-file>, which
will be treated as if it is an empty file. The label list file must have lines of
the following format:
<labelname> <value> <red> <green> <blue> <alpha>
Do not specify the "unlabeled" key in the file, it is assumed that 0 means not
labeled unless -unlabeled-value is specified. Label names must be on a separate
line, but may contain spaces or other unusual characters (but not newline).
Whitespace is trimmed from both ends of the label name, but is kept if it is in the
middle of a label. The values of red, green, blue and alpha must be integers from
0 to 255, and will specify the color the label is drawn as (alpha of 255 means
opaque, which is probably what you want). By default, it will set new label names
with names of LABEL_# for any values encountered that are not mentioned in the list
file, specify -discard-others to instead set these voxels to the "unlabeled" key.
-metric-mask MASK A METRIC FILE
wb_command -metric-mask
<metric> - the input metric <mask> - the mask metric <metric-out> - output - the
output metric
[-column] - select a single column
<column> - the column number or name
By default, the output metric is a copy of the input metric, but with zeros
wherever the mask metric is not positive. if -column is specified, the output
contains only one column, the masked version of the specified input column.
-metric-math EVALUATE EXPRESSION ON METRIC FILES
wb_command -metric-math
<expression> - the expression to evaluate, in quotes <metric-out> - output - the
output metric
[-fixnan] - replace NaN results with a value
<replace> - value to replace NaN with
[-var] - repeatable - a metric to use as a variable
<name> - the name of the variable, as used in the expression <metric> - the metric
file to use as this variable
[-column] - select a single column
<column> - the column number or name
[-repeat] - reuse a single column for each column of calculation
This command evaluates <expression> at each surface vertex independently. There
must be at least one -var option (to get the structure, number of vertices, and
number of columns from), even if the <name> specified in it isn't used in
<expression>. All metrics must have the same number of vertices. Filenames are
not valid in <expression>, use a variable name and a -var option with matching
<name> to specify an input file. If the -column option is given to any -var
option, only one column is used from that file. If -repeat is specified, the file
must either have only one column, or have the -column option specified. All files
that don't use -repeat must have the same number of columns requested to be used.
The format of <expression> is as follows:
Expressions consist of constants, variables, operators, parentheses, and functions,
in infix notation, such as 'exp(-x + 3) * scale'. Variables are strings of any
length, using the characters a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and _, but may not take the name of a
named constant. Currently, there is only one named constant, PI. The operators
are +, -, *, /, ^, >, <, >=, <=, ==, !=, !, &&, ||. These behave as in C, except
that ^ is exponentiation, i.e. pow(x, y), and takes higher precedence than other
binary operators (also, '-3^-4^-5' means '-(3^(-(4^-5)))'). The <=, >=, ==, and !=
operators are given a small amount of wiggle room, equal to one millionth of the
smaller of the absolute values of the values being compared.
Comparison and logical operators return 0 or 1, you can do masking with expressions
like 'x * (mask > 0)'. For all logical operators, an input is considered true iff
it is greater than 0. The expression '0 < x < 5' is not syntactically wrong, but
it will NOT do what is desired, because it is evaluated left to right, i.e. '((0 <
x) < 5)', which will always return 1, as both possible results of a comparison are
less than 5. A warning is generated if an expression of this type is detected.
Use something like 'x > 0 && x < 5' to get the desired behavior.
Whitespace between elements is ignored, ' sin ( 2 * x ) ' is equivalent to
'sin(2*x)', but 's in(2*x)' is an error. Implied multiplication is not allowed,
the expression '2x' will be parsed as a variable. Parentheses are (), do not use
[] or {}. Functions require parentheses, the expression 'sin x' is an error.
The following functions are supported:
sin: 1 argument, the sine of the argument (units are radians) cos: 1 argument, the
cosine of the argument (units are radians) tan: 1 argument, the tangent of the
argument (units are radians) asin: 1 argument, the inverse of sine of the argument,
in radians acos: 1 argument, the inverse of cosine of the argument, in radians
atan: 1 argument, the inverse of tangent of the argument, in radians atan2: 2
arguments, atan2(y, x) returns the inverse of tangent of
(y/x), in radians, determining quadrant by the sign of both arguments
sinh: 1 argument, the hyperbolic sine of the argument cosh: 1 argument, the
hyperbolic cosine of the argument tanh: 1 argument, the hyperboloc tangent of the
argument asinh: 1 argument, the inverse hyperbolic sine of the argument acosh: 1
argument, the inverse hyperbolic cosine of the argument atanh: 1 argument, the
inverse hyperboloc tangent of the argument ln: 1 argument, the natural logarithm of
the argument exp: 1 argument, the constant e raised to the power of the argument
log: 1 argument, the base 10 logarithm of the argument sqrt: 1 argument, the square
root of the argument abs: 1 argument, the absolute value of the argument floor: 1
argument, the largest integer not greater than the argument round: 1 argument, the
nearest integer, with ties rounded away from
zero
ceil: 1 argument, the smallest integer not less than the argument min: 2 arguments,
min(x, y) returns y if (x > y), x otherwise max: 2 arguments, max(x, y) returns y
if (x < y), x otherwise mod: 2 arguments, mod(x, y) = x - y * floor(x / y), or 0 if
y == 0 clamp: 3 arguments, clamp(x, low, high) = min(max(x, low), high)
-metric-merge MERGE METRIC FILES INTO A NEW FILE

Takes one or more metric files and constructs a new metric file by concatenating
columns from them. The input metric files must have the same number of vertices
and same structure.
Example: wb_command -metric-merge out.func.gii -metric first.func.gii -column 1
-metric second.func.gii
This example would take the first column from first.func.gii, followed by all
columns from second.func.gii, and write these columns to out.func.gii.

-metric-reduce PERFORM REDUCTION OPERATION ACROSS METRIC COLUMNS
wb_command -metric-reduce
<metric-in> - the metric to reduce <operation> - the reduction operator to use
<metric-out> - output - the output metric
[-exclude-outliers] - exclude outliers from each vector by standard
deviation <sigma-below> - number of standard deviations below the mean to
include
<sigma-above> - number of standard deviations above the mean to
include
For each surface vertex, takes the data across columns as a vector, and performs
the specified reduction on it, putting the result into the single output column at
that vertex. The reduction operators are as follows:
MAX: the maximum value MIN: the minimum value INDEXMAX: the 1-based index of the
maximum value INDEXMIN: the 1-based index of the minimum value SUM: add all values
PRODUCT: multiply all values MEAN: the mean of the data STDEV: the standard
deviation (N denominator) SAMPSTDEV: the sample standard deviation (N-1
denominator) VARIANCE: the variance of the data MEDIAN: the median of the data
MODE: the mode of the data COUNT_NONZERO: the number of nonzero elements in the
data
-metric-regression REGRESS METRICS OUT OF A METRIC FILE
wb_command -metric-regression
<metric-in> - the metric to regress from <metric-out> - output - the output metric
[-roi] - only regress inside an roi
<roi-metric> - the area to use for regression, as a metric
[-column] - select a single column to regress from
<column> - the column number or name

<metric> - the metric file to use
[-remove-column] - select a column to use, rather than all
<column> - the column number or name
[-keep] - repeatable - specify a metric to include in regression, but not
remove <metric> - the metric file to use
[-keep-column] - select a column to use, rather than all
<column> - the column number or name
For each regressor, its mean across the surface is subtracted from its data. Each
input map is then regressed against these, and a constant term. The resulting
regressed slopes of all regressors specified with -remove are multiplied with their
respective regressor maps, and these are subtracted from the input map.
-metric-remove-islands REMOVE ISLANDS FROM AN ROI METRIC
wb_command -metric-remove-islands
<surface> - the surface to use for neighbor information <metric-in> - the input ROI
metric <metric-out> - output - the output ROI metric
[-corrected-areas] - vertex areas to use instead of computing them from
the surface <area-metric> - the corrected vertex areas, as a metric
Finds all connected areas in the ROI, and zeros out all but the largest one, in
terms of surface area.
-metric-resample RESAMPLE A METRIC FILE TO A DIFFERENT MESH
wb_command -metric-resample
<metric-in> - the metric file to resample <current-sphere> - a sphere surface with
the mesh that the metric is
currently on
<new-sphere> - a sphere surface that is in register with <current-sphere>
and has the desired output mesh
<method> - the method name <metric-out> - output - the output metric
[-area-surfs] - specify surfaces to do vertex area correction based on
<current-area> - a relevant anatomical surface with <current-sphere>
mesh
<new-area> - a relevant anatomical surface with <new-sphere> mesh

on <current-area> - a metric file with vertex areas for <current-sphere>
mesh
<new-area> - a metric file with vertex areas for <new-sphere> mesh

vertices <roi-metric> - the roi, as a metric file
[-valid-roi-out] - output the ROI of vertices that got data from valid
source vertices <roi-out> - output - the output roi as a metric
[-largest] - use only the value of the vertex with the largest weight
Resamples a metric file, given two spherical surfaces that are in register. If the
method does area correction, exactly one of -area-surfs or -area-metrics must be
specified.
The -current-roi option only masks the input, the output may be slightly dilated in
comparison, consider using -metric-mask on the output when using -current-roi.
The -largest option results in nearest vertex behavior when used with BARYCENTRIC,
instead of doing a weighted average, it uses the value of the source vertex that
has the largest weight for each target vertex. This is mainly intended for
resampling ROI metrics.
The <method> argument must be one of the following:
ADAP_BARY_AREA BARYCENTRIC
The ADAP_BARY_AREA method is recommended for ordinary metric data, because it
should use all data while downsampling, unlike BARYCENTRIC.
-metric-rois-from-extrema CREATE METRIC ROI MAPS FROM EXTREMA MAPS
wb_command -metric-rois-from-extrema
<surface> - the surface to use for geodesic distance <metric> - the input metric
file <limit> - geodesic distance limit from vertex, in mm <metric-out> - output -
the output metric file
[-gaussian] - generate a gaussian kernel instead of a flat ROI
<sigma> - the sigma for the gaussian kernel, in mm
[-roi] - select a region of interest to use
<roi-metric> - the area to use, as a metric
[-overlap-logic] - how to handle overlapping ROIs, default ALLOW
<method> - the method of resolving overlaps
[-column] - select a single input column to use
<column> - the column number or name
For each nonzero value in each map, make a map with an ROI around that location.
If the -gaussian option is specified, then normalized gaussian kernels are output
instead of ROIs. The <method> argument to -overlap-logic must be one of ALLOW,
CLOSEST, or EXCLUDE. ALLOW is the default, and means that ROIs are treated
independently and may overlap. CLOSEST means that ROIs may not overlap, and that
no ROI contains vertices that are closer to a different seed vertex. EXCLUDE means
that ROIs may not overlap, and that any vertex within range of more than one ROI
does not belong to any ROI.
-metric-rois-to-border DRAW BORDERS AROUND METRIC ROIS
wb_command -metric-rois-to-border
<surface> - the surface to use for neighbor information <metric> - the input metric
containing ROIs <class-name> - the name to use for the class of the output borders
<border-out> - output - the output border file
[-placement] - set how far along the edge border points are drawn
<fraction> - fraction along edge from inside vertex (default 0.33)
[-column] - select a single column
<column> - the column number or name
For each ROI column, finds all edges on the mesh that cross the boundary of the
ROI, and draws borders through them. By default, this is done on all columns in
the input file, using the map name as the name for the border.
-metric-smoothing SMOOTH A METRIC FILE
wb_command -metric-smoothing
<surface> - the surface to smooth on <metric-in> - the metric to smooth
<smoothing-kernel> - the sigma for the gaussian kernel function, in mm <metric-out>
- output - the output metric
[-roi] - select a region of interest to smooth
<roi-metric> - the roi to smooth within, as a metric
[-match-columns] - for each input column, use the corresponding column
from the roi
[-fix-zeros] - treat zero values as not being data
[-column] - select a single column to smooth
<column> - the column number or name
[-corrected-areas] - vertex areas to use instead of computing them from
the surface <area-metric> - the corrected vertex areas, as a metric
[-method] - select smoothing method, default GEO_GAUSS_AREA
<method> - the name of the smoothing method
Smooth a metric file on a surface.
By default, smooths all input columns
on the entire surface, specify -column to use only one input column, and -roi to
smooth only where the roi metric is greater than 0, outputting zeros elsewhere.
When using -roi, input data outside the ROI is not used to compute the smoothed
values. By default, the first column of the roi metric is used for all input
columns. When -match-columns is specified to the -roi option, the input and roi
metrics must have the same number of columns, and for each input column's index,
the same column index is used in the roi metric. If the -match-columns option to
-roi is used while the -column option is also used, the number of columns must
match between the roi and input metric, and it will use the roi column with the
index of the selected input column.
The -fix-zeros option causes the smoothing to not use an input value if it is zero,
but still write a smoothed value to the vertex. This is useful for zeros that
indicate lack of information, preventing them from pulling down the intensity of
nearby vertices, while giving the zero an extrapolated value.
The -corrected-areas option is intended for when it is unavoidable to smooth on a
group average surface, it is only an approximate correction for the reduction of
structure in a group average surface. It is better to smooth the data on
individuals before averaging, when feasible.
Valid values for <method> are:
GEO_GAUSS_AREA - uses a geodesic gaussian kernel, and normalizes based on vertex
area in order to work more reliably on irregular surfaces
GEO_GAUSS_EQUAL - uses a geodesic gaussian kernel, and normalizes assuming each
vertex has equal importance
GEO_GAUSS - matches geodesic gaussian smoothing from caret5, but does not check
kernels for having unequal importance
The GEO_GAUSS_AREA method is the default because it is usually the correct choice.
GEO_GAUSS_EQUAL may be the correct choice when the sum of vertex values is more
meaningful then the surface integral (sum of values .* areas), for instance when
smoothing vertex areas (the sum is the total surface area, while the surface
integral is the sum of squares of the vertex areas). The GEO_GAUSS method is not
recommended, it exists mainly to replicate methods of studies done with caret5's
geodesic smoothing.

-reduce or -percentile must be specified.
The argument to the -reduce option must be one of the following:

maximum value INDEXMIN: the 1-based index of the minimum value SUM: add all values
PRODUCT: multiply all values MEAN: the mean of the data STDEV: the standard

denominator) VARIANCE: the variance of the data MEDIAN: the median of the data

[-column] - select a single column
<column> - the column number or name
[-corrected-areas] - vertex areas to use instead of computing them from
the surface <area-metric> - the corrected vertex areas, as a metric
Threshold-free cluster enhancement is a method to increase the relative value of
regions that would form clusters in a standard thresholding test. This is
accomplished by evaluating the integral of:
e(h, p)^E * h^H * dh
at each vertex p, where h ranges from 0 to the maximum value in the data, and e(h,
p) is the extent of the cluster containing vertex p at threshold h. Negative
values are similarly enhanced by negating the data, running the same process, and
negating the result.
When using -presmooth with -corrected-areas, note that it is an approximate
correction within the smoothing algorithm (the TFCE correction is exact). Doing
smoothing on individual surfaces before averaging/TFCE is preferred, when possible,
in order to better tie the smoothing kernel size to the original feature size.
The TFCE method is explained in: Smith SM, Nichols TE., "Threshold-free cluster
enhancement: addressing problems of smoothing, threshold dependence and
localisation in cluster inference." Neuroimage. 2009 Jan 1;44(1):83-98. PMID:

You must specify
exactly one mapping method option.
The -nearest-vertex method uses the
value from the vertex closest to the voxel center (useful for integer values). The
-ribbon-constrained method uses the same method as in -volume-to-surface-mapping,
then uses the weights in reverse.

[-normalize-output] - normalize output vectors (not valid for dot
product)
[-magnitude] - output the magnitude of the result (not valid for dot
product)

columns). Either of the inputs may have multiple vectors (more than 3 columns),
but not both (at least one must have exactly 3 columns). The -magnitude and
-normalize-output options may not be specified together, or with an operation that
returns a scalar (dot product). The <operation> parameter must be one of the
following:

-roi to consider only the data within a region. Exactly one of -reduce or
-percentile must be specified, and exactly one of -mean, -stdev, -percentile or
-sum must be specified.
Using -sum with -area-surface (or -weight-metric with a metric containing similar
data) is equivalent to integrating with respect to surface area. For example, if
you want to find the surface area within an roi, do this:
$ wb_command -metric-weighted-stats roi.func.gii -sum -area-surface
midthickness.surf.gii

[-print-xml] - print the cifti XML (cifti only)
[-version] - convert the XML to a specific CIFTI version (default is
the file's cifti version) <version> - the CIFTI version to use
You must specify at least one -print-* option.
-probtrackx-dot-convert CONVERT A .DOT FILE FROM PROBTRACKX TO CIFTI
wb_command -probtrackx-dot-convert
<dot-file> - input .dot file <cifti-out> - output - output cifti file
[-row-voxels] - the output mapping along a row will be voxels
<voxel-list-file> - a text file containing IJK indices for the voxels
used
<label-vol> - a label volume with the dimensions and sform used, with
structure labels

[-col-cifti] - take the mapping along a column from a cifti file
<cifti> - the cifti file to take the mapping from <direction> - which dimension to
take the mapping along, ROW or COLUMN
[-transpose] - transpose the input matrix
[-make-symmetric] - transform half-square input into full matrix output
NOTE: exactly one -row option and one -col option must be used.
If the input file does not have its indexes sorted in the correct ordering, this
command may take longer than expected. Specifying -transpose will transpose the
input matrix before trying to put its values into the cifti file, which is
currently needed for at least matrix2 in order to display it as intended. How the
cifti file is displayed is based on which -row option is specified: if -row-voxels
is specified, then it will display data on volume slices. The label names in the
label volume(s) must have the following names, other names are ignored:
CORTEX_LEFT CORTEX_RIGHT CEREBELLUM ACCUMBENS_LEFT ACCUMBENS_RIGHT ALL_GREY_MATTER
ALL_WHITE_MATTER AMYGDALA_LEFT AMYGDALA_RIGHT BRAIN_STEM CAUDATE_LEFT CAUDATE_RIGHT

map
Sets the name of one or more maps for metric, shape, label, volume, cifti scalar or
cifti label files. If the -name-file option is not specified, the -map option must
be specified at least once. The -map option cannot be used when -name-file is
specified.
-set-structure SET STRUCTURE OF A DATA FILE
wb_command -set-structure
<data-file> - the file to set the structure of <structure> - the structure to set
the file to
[-surface-type] - set the type of a surface (only used if file is a
surface file) <type> - name of surface type
[-surface-secondary-type] - set the secondary type of a surface (only
used if file is a surface file) <secondary type> - name of surface secondary type

-show-scene OFFSCREEN RENDERING OF SCENE TO AN IMAGE FILE
wb_command -show-scene
<scene-file> - scene file <scene-name-or-number> - name or number (starting at one)
of the scene in
the scene file
<image-file-name> - output image file name <image-width> - width of output image(s)
<image-height> - height of output image(s)
Render content of browser windows displayed in a scene into image file(s). The
image file name should be similar to "capture.png". If there is only one image to
render, the image name will not change. If there is more than one image to render,
an index will be inserted into the image name: "capture_01.png", "capture_02.png"
etc.
The image format is determined by the image file extension. Image formats
available on this system are:
bmp ico jpeg jpg png ppm tif tiff xbm xpm
Note: Available image formats may vary by operating system.
-signed-distance-to-surface COMPUTE SIGNED DISTANCE FROM ONE SURFACE TO ANOTHER
wb_command -signed-distance-to-surface
<surface-comp> - the comparison surface to measure the signed distance on
<surface-ref> - the reference surface that defines the signed distance
function
<metric> - output - the output metric
[-winding] - winding method for point inside surface test
<method> - name of the method (default EVEN_ODD)
Compute the signed distance function of the reference surface at every vertex on
the comparison surface. NOTE: this relation is NOT symmetric, the line from a
vertex to the closest point on the 'ref' surface (the one that defines the signed
distance function) will only align with the normal of the 'ref' surface. Valid
specifiers for winding methods are as follows:
EVEN_ODD (default) NEGATIVE NONZERO NORMALS
The NORMALS method uses the normals of triangles and edges, or the closest triangle
hit by a ray from the point. This method may be slightly faster, but is only
reliable for a closed surface that does not cross through itself. All other
methods count entry (positive) and exit (negative) crossings of a vertical ray from
the point, then counts as inside if the total is odd, negative, or nonzero,
respectively.
-spec-file-merge MERGE TWO SPEC FILES INTO ONE
wb_command -spec-file-merge
<spec-1> - first spec file to merge <spec-2> - second spec file to merge <out-spec>
- output - output spec file
The output spec file contains every file that is in either of the input spec files.
-surface-affine-regression REGRESS THE AFFINE TRANSFORM BETWEEN SURFACES ON THE SAME MESH
wb_command -surface-affine-regression
<source> - the surface to warp <target> - the surface to match the coordinates of
<affine-out> - output - the output affine file
Use linear regression to compute an affine that minimizes the sum of squares of the
coordinate differences between the target surface and the warped source surface.
Note that this has a bias to shrink the surface that is being warped. The output
is written as a NIFTI 'world' matrix, see -convert-affine to convert it for use in
other software.
-surface-apply-affine APPLY AFFINE TRANSFORM TO SURFACE FILE
wb_command -surface-apply-affine
<in-surf> - the surface to transform <affine> - the affine file <out-surf> - output
- the output transformed surface
[-flirt] - MUST be used if affine is a flirt affine
<source-volume> - the source volume used when generating the affine <target-volume>
- the target volume used when generating the affine
For flirt matrices, you must use the -flirt option, because flirt matrices are not
a complete description of the coordinate transform they represent. If the -flirt
option is not present, the affine must be a nifti 'world' affine, which can be
obtained with the -convert-affine command, or aff_conv from the 4dfp suite.
-surface-apply-warpfield APPLY WARPFIELD TO SURFACE FILE
wb_command -surface-apply-warpfield
<in-surf> - the surface to transform <warpfield> - the INVERSE warpfield <out-surf>
- output - the output transformed surface
[-fnirt] - MUST be used if using a fnirt warpfield
<forward-warp> - the forward warpfield
NOTE: warping a surface requires the INVERSE of the warpfield used to warp the
volume it lines up with. The header of the forward warp is needed by the -fnirt
option in order to correctly interpret the displacements in the fnirt warpfield.
If the -fnirt option is not present, the warpfield must be a nifti 'world'
warpfield, which can be obtained with the -convert-warpfield command.
-surface-average AVERAGE SURFACE FILES TOGETHER
wb_command -surface-average
<surface-out> - output - the output averaged surface
[-stddev] - compute 3D sample standard deviation
<stddev-metric-out> - output - the output metric for 3D sample
standard deviation
[-uncertainty] - compute caret5 'uncertainty'
<uncert-metric-out> - output - the output metric for uncertainty
[-surf] - repeatable - specify a surface to include in the average
<surface> - a surface file to average
The 3D sample standard deviation is computed as 'sqrt(sum(squaredlength(xyz -
mean(xyz)))/(n - 1))'.
Uncertainty is a legacy measure used in caret5, and is computed as 'sum(length(xyz
- mean(xyz)))/n'.
-surface-closest-vertex FIND CLOSEST SURFACE VERTEX TO COORDINATES
wb_command -surface-closest-vertex
<surface> - the surface to use <coord-list-file> - text file with coordinates
<vertex-list-out> - output - the output text file with vertex numbers
For each coordinate XYZ triple, find the closest vertex in the surface, and output
its vertex number into a text file.
-surface-coordinates-to-metric MAKE METRIC FILE OF SURFACE COORDINATES
wb_command -surface-coordinates-to-metric
<surface> - the surface to use the coordinates of <metric-out> - output - the
output metric
Puts the coordinates of the surface into a 3-map metric file, as x, y, z.
-surface-cortex-layer CREATE SURFACE APPROXIMATING A CORTICAL LAYER
wb_command -surface-cortex-layer
<white-surface> - the white matter surface <pial-surface> - the pial surface
<location> - what volume fraction to place the layer at <out-surface> - output -
the output surface
[-placement-out] - output the placement as a distance fraction from pial
to white <placement-metric> - output - output metric
[-untwist] - temporary option for comparing methods, specify to use old
method
The input surfaces must have vertex correspondence.
The output surface
is generated by placing vertices between the two surfaces such that the enclosed
volume within any small patch of the new and white surfaces is the given fraction
of the volume of the same patch between the pial and white surfaces (i.e.,
specifying 0 would give the white surface, 1 would give the pial surface).
-surface-create-sphere GENERATE A SPHERE WITH CONSISTENT VERTEX AREAS
wb_command -surface-create-sphere
<num-vertices> - desired number of vertices <sphere-out> - output - the output
sphere
Generates a sphere by regularly dividing the triangles of an icosahedron, to come
as close to the desired number of vertices as possible, and modifying it to have
very similar vertex areas for all vertices. To generate a pair of vertex-matched
left and right spheres, use this command, then -surface-flip-lr to generate the
other sphere, then -set-structure on each. For example:
$ wb_command -surface-create-sphere 6000 Sphere.6k.R.surf.gii
$ wb_command -surface-flip-lr Sphere.6k.R.surf.gii Sphere.6k.L.surf.gii
$ wb_command -set-structure Sphere.6k.R.surf.gii CORTEX_RIGHT
$ wb_command -set-structure Sphere.6k.L.surf.gii CORTEX_LEFT
-surface-cut-resample RESAMPLE A CUT SURFACE
wb_command -surface-cut-resample
<surface-in> - the surface file to resample <current-sphere> - a sphere surface
with the mesh that the input surface
is currently on
<new-sphere> - a sphere surface that is in register with <current-sphere>
and has the desired output mesh
<surface-out> - output - the output surface file
Resamples a surface file, given two spherical surfaces that are in register.
Barycentric resampling is used, because it is usually better for resampling
surfaces, and because it is needed to figure out the new topology anyway.
-surface-distortion MEASURE DISTORTION BETWEEN SURFACES
wb_command -surface-distortion
<surface-reference> - the reference surface <surface-distorted> - the distorted
surface <metric-out> - output - the output distortion metric
[-smooth] - smooth the area data
<sigma> - the smoothing kernel sigma in mm
[-caret5-method] - use the surface distortion method from caret5
[-edge-method] - calculate distortion of edge lengths rather than areas
This command, when not using -caret5-method or -edge-method, is equivalent to using
-surface-vertex-areas on each surface, smoothing both output metrics with the
GEO_GAUSS_EQUAL method on the surface they came from if -smooth is specified, and
then using the formula 'ln(distorted/reference)/ln(2)' on the smoothed results.
When using -caret5-method, it uses the surface distortion method from caret5, which
takes the base 2 log of the ratio of tile areas, then averages those results at
each vertex, and then smooths the result on the reference surface.
When using -edge-method, the -smooth option is ignored, and the output at each
vertex is the average of 'abs(ln(refEdge/distortEdge)/ln(2))' over all edges
connected to the vertex.
-surface-flip-lr MIRROR A SURFACE THROUGH THE YZ PLANE
wb_command -surface-flip-lr
<surface> - the surface to flip <surface-out> - output - the output flipped surface
This command negates the x coordinate of each vertex, and flips the surface
normals, so that you have a surface of opposite handedness with the same features
and node correspondence, with normals consistent with the original surface. That
is, if the input surface has normals facing outward, the output surface will also
have normals facing outward.
-surface-flip-normals FLIP ALL TILES ON A SURFACE
wb_command -surface-flip-normals
<surface> - the surface to flip the normals of <surface-out> - output - the output
surface
Flips all triangles on a surface, resulting in surface normals being flipped the
other direction (inward vs outward). If you transform a surface with an affine
that has negative determinant, or a warpfield that similarly flips the surface, you
may end up with a surface that has normals pointing inwards, which may have display
problems. Using this command will solve that problem.
-surface-generate-inflated SURFACE GENERATE INFLATED
wb_command -surface-generate-inflated
<anatomical-surface-in> - the anatomical surface <inflated-surface-out> - output -
the output inflated surface <very-inflated-surface-out> - output - the output very
inflated surface
[-iterations-scale] - optional iterations scaling
<iterations-scale-value> - iterations-scale value
Generate inflated and very inflated surfaces. The output surfaces are 'matched'
(have same XYZ range) to the anatomcal surface. In most cases, an iterations-scale
of 1.0 (default) is sufficient. However, if the surface contains a large number of
nodes (150,000), try an iterations-scale of 2.5.
-surface-geodesic-distance COMPUTE GEODESIC DISTANCE FROM ONE VERTEX TO THE ENTIRE SURFACE
wb_command -surface-geodesic-distance
<surface> - the surface to compute on <vertex> - the vertex to compute geodesic
distance from <metric-out> - output - the output metric
[-naive] - use only neighbors, don't crawl triangles (not recommended)
[-limit] - stop at a certain distance
<limit-mm> - distance in mm to stop at
Unless -limit is specified, computes the geodesic distance from the specified
vertex to all others. The result is output as a single column metric file, with a
value of -1 for vertices that the distance was not computed for. If -naive is not
specified, it uses not just immediate neighbors, but also neighbors derived from
crawling across pairs of triangles that share an edge.
-surface-geodesic-rois DRAW GEODESIC LIMITED ROIS AT VERTICES
wb_command -surface-geodesic-rois
<surface> - the surface to draw on <limit> - geodesic distance limit from vertex,
in mm <vertex-list-file> - a text file containing the vertices to draw ROIs
around
<metric-out> - output - the output metric
[-gaussian] - generate a gaussian kernel instead of a flat ROI
<sigma> - the sigma for the gaussian kernel, in mm
[-overlap-logic] - how to handle overlapping ROIs, default ALLOW
<method> - the method of resolving overlaps
[-names] - name the columns from text file
<name-list-file> - a text file containing column names, one per line
For each vertex in the list file, a column in the output metric is created, and an
ROI around that vertex is drawn in that column. Each metric column will have zeros
outside the geodesic distance spacified by <limit>, and by default will have a
value of 1.0 inside it. If the -gaussian option is specified, the values inside
the ROI will instead form a gaussian with the specified value of sigma, normalized
so that the sum of the nonzero values in the metric column is 1.0. The <method>
argument to -overlap-logic must be one of ALLOW, CLOSEST, or EXCLUDE. ALLOW is the
default, and means that ROIs are treated independently and may overlap. CLOSEST
means that ROIs may not overlap, and that no ROI contains vertices that are closer
to a different seed vertex. EXCLUDE means that ROIs may not overlap, and that any
vertex within range of more than one ROI does not belong to any ROI.
-surface-inflation SURFACE INFLATION
wb_command -surface-inflation
<anatomical-surface-in> - the anatomical surface <surface-in> - the surface file to
inflate <number-of-smoothing-cycles> - number of smoothing cycles
<smoothing-strength> - smoothing strength (ranges [0.0 - 1.0])
<smoothing-iterations> - smoothing iterations <inflation-factor> - inflation factor
<surface-out> - output - output surface file
Inflate a surface by performing cycles that consist of smoothing followed by
inflation (to correct shrinkage caused by smoothing).
-surface-information DISPLAY INFORMATION ABOUT A SURFACE
wb_command -surface-information

Information about surface is displayed including vertices, triangles, bounding box,
and spacing.
-surface-match SURFACE MATCH
wb_command -surface-match
<Match Surface File> - Match (Reference) Surface <Input Surface File> - File
containing surface that will be transformed <Output Surface Name> - Surface File
after transformation
The Input Surface File will be transformed so that its coordinate ranges (bounding
box) match that of the Match Surface File
-surface-modify-sphere CHANGE RADIUS AND OPTIONALLY RECENTER A SPHERE
wb_command -surface-modify-sphere
<sphere-in> - the sphere to modify <radius> - the radius the output sphere should
have <sphere-out> - output - the output sphere
[-recenter] - recenter the sphere by means of the bounding box
This command may be useful if you have used -surface-resample to resample a sphere,
which can suffer from problems generally not present in
-surface-sphere-project-unproject. If the sphere should already be centered around
the origin, using -recenter may still shift it slightly before changing the radius,
which is likely to be undesireable.
If <sphere-in> is not close to spherical, or not centered around the origin and
-recenter is not used, a warning is printed.
-surface-normals OUTPUT VERTEX NORMALS AS METRIC FILE
wb_command -surface-normals
<surface> - the surface to output the normals of <metric-out> - output - the normal
vectors
Computes the normal vectors of the surface file, and outputs them as a 3 column
metric file.
-surface-resample RESAMPLE A SURFACE TO A DIFFERENT MESH
wb_command -surface-resample
<surface-in> - the surface file to resample <current-sphere> - a sphere surface
with the mesh that the input surface
is currently on

[-area-surfs] - specify surfaces to do vertex area correction based on
<current-area> - a relevant surface with <current-sphere> mesh <new-area> - a
relevant surface with <new-sphere> mesh
[-area-metrics] - specify vertex area metrics to do area correction based
on <current-area> - a metric file with vertex areas for <current-sphere>
mesh
<new-area> - a metric file with vertex areas for <new-sphere> mesh
Resamples a surface file, given two spherical surfaces that are in register. If
the method does area correction, exactly one of -area-surfs or -area-metrics must
be specified. This option is not used in normal circumstances, but is provided for
completeness.
The <method> argument must be one of the following:
ADAP_BARY_AREA BARYCENTRIC
The BARYCENTRIC method is recommended for anatomical surfaces, unless they are
fairly rough, in order to minimize smoothing.
For cut surfaces (including flatmaps), use -surface-cut-resample.
Instead of resampling a spherical surface, the -surface-sphere-project-unproject
command is recommended.
-surface-smoothing SURFACE SMOOTHING
wb_command -surface-smoothing
<surface-in> - the surface file to smooth <smoothing-strength> - smoothing strength
(ranges [0.0 - 1.0]) <smoothing-iterations> - smoothing iterations <surface-out> -
output - output surface file
Smooths a surface by averaging nodes with their neighbors.
-surface-sphere-project-unproject DEFORM A SPHERE ACCORDING TO A REGISTRATION
wb_command -surface-sphere-project-unproject
<sphere-in> - the sphere with the desired output mesh <sphere-project-to> - a
sphere that aligns with sphere-in <sphere-unproject-from> - sphere-project-to
deformed to the output space <sphere-out> - output - the output sphere
Each vertex of <sphere-in> is projected to <sphere-project-to> to obtain
barycentric weights, which are then used to unproject from <sphere-unproject-from>.
This results in a sphere with the topology of <sphere-in>, but coordinates shifted
by the deformation between <sphere-project-to> and <sphere-unproject-from>.
<sphere-project-to> and <sphere-unproject-from> must have the same topology as each
other, but <sphere-in> may have different topology.
-surface-to-surface-3d-distance COMPUTE DISTANCE BETWEEN CORRESPONDING VERTICES
wb_command -surface-to-surface-3d-distance
<surface-comp> - the surface to compare to the reference <surface-ref> - the
surface to use as the reference <dists-out> - output - the output distances
[-vectors] - output the displacement vectors
<vectors-out> - output - the output vectors
Computes the vector difference between the vertices of each surface with the same
index, as (comp - ref), and output the magnitudes, and optionally the displacement
vectors.

CUBIC ENCLOSING_VOXEL TRILINEAR
-volume-all-labels-to-rois MAKE ROIS FROM ALL LABELS IN A VOLUME FRAME
wb_command -volume-all-labels-to-rois
<label-in> - the input volume label file <map> - the number or name of the label
map to use <volume-out> - output - the output volume file
The output volume has a frame for each label in the specified input frame, other
than the ??? label, each of which contains an ROI of all voxels that are set to the

must be specified.
-volume-dilate DILATE A VOLUME FILE
wb_command -volume-dilate
<volume> - the volume to dilate <distance> - distance in mm to dilate <method> -
dilation method to use <volume-out> - output - the output volume
[-bad-voxel-roi] - specify an roi of voxels to overwrite, rather than
voxels with value zero <roi-volume> - volume file, positive values denote voxels to
have
their values replaced
[-data-roi] - specify an roi of where there is data
<roi-volume> - volume file, positive values denote voxels that have
data
[-subvolume] - select a single subvolume to dilate
<subvol> - the subvolume number or name
For all voxels that are designated as bad, if they neighbor a non-bad voxel with
data or are within the specified distance of such a voxel, replace the value in the
bad voxel with a value calculated from nearby non-bad voxels that have data,
otherwise set the value to zero. No matter how small <distance> is, dilation will
always use at least the face neighbor voxels.
By default, voxels that have data with the value 0 are bad, specify -bad-voxel-roi
to only count voxels as bad if they are selected by the roi. If -data-roi is not
specified, all voxels are assumed to have data.
Valid values for <method> are:
NEAREST - use the value from the nearest good voxel WEIGHTED - use a weighted
average based on distance
-volume-estimate-fwhm ESTIMATE FWHM SMOOTHNESS OF A VOLUME
wb_command -volume-estimate-fwhm
<volume> - the input volume
[-roi] - use only data within an ROI
<roivol> - the volume to use as an ROI
[-subvolume] - select a single subvolume to estimate smoothness of
<subvol> - the subvolume number or name
Estimates the smoothness of the input volume in X, Y, and Z directions separately,
printing the estimates to standard output. If -subvolume is not specified, each
subvolume is estimated and displayed separately.
-volume-extrema FIND EXTREMA IN A VOLUME FILE
wb_command -volume-extrema
<volume-in> - volume file to find the extrema of <distance> - the minimum distance
between identified extrema of the same
type
<volume-out> - output - the output extrema volume
[-presmooth] - smooth the volume before finding extrema
<kernel> - the sigma for the gaussian smoothing kernel, in mm
[-roi] - ignore values outside the selected area
<roi-volume> - the area to find extrema in
[-threshold] - ignore small extrema
<low> - the largest value to consider for being a minimum <high> - the smallest
value to consider for being a maximum
[-sum-subvols] - output the sum of the extrema subvolumes instead of each
subvolume separately
[-consolidate-mode] - use consolidation of local minima instead of a
large neighborhood
[-only-maxima] - only find the maxima
[-only-minima] - only find the minima
[-subvolume] - select a single subvolume to find extrema in
<subvolume> - the subvolume number or name
Finds extrema in a volume file, such that no two extrema of the same type are
within <distance> of each other. The extrema are labeled as -1 for minima, 1 for
maxima, 0 otherwise. If -only-maxima or -only-minima is specified, then it will
ignore extrema not of the specified type. These options are mutually exclusive.
If -sum-subvols is specified, these extrema subvolumes are summed, and the output
has a single subvolume with this result.
By default, a datapoint is an extrema only if it is more extreme than every other
datapoint that is within <distance> from it. If -consolidate-mode is used, it
instead starts by finding all datapoints that are more extreme than their immediate
neighbors, then while there are any extrema within <distance> of each other, take
the two extrema closest to each other and merge them into one by a weighted average
based on how many original extrema have been merged into each.
By default, all input subvolumes are used with no smoothing, use -subvolume to
specify a single subvolume to use, and -presmooth to smooth the input before
finding the extrema.
-volume-fill-holes FILL HOLES IN AN ROI VOLUME
wb_command -volume-fill-holes
<volume-in> - the input ROI volume <volume-out> - output - the output ROI volume

[-roi] - select a region of interest
<roi-volume> - the roi, as a volume file
[-subvolume] - select a single subvolume
<subvol> - the subvolume number or name
[-size-ratio] - ignore clusters smaller than a given fraction of the
largest cluster in map <ratio> - fraction of the largest cluster's volume
[-distance] - ignore clusters further than a given distance from the
largest cluster <distance> - how far from the largest cluster a cluster can be,
edge
to edge, in mm
[-start] - start labeling clusters from a value other than 1
<startval> - the value to give the first cluster found
Outputs a volume with nonzero integers for all voxels within a large enough
cluster, and zeros elsewhere. The integers denote cluster membership (by default,
first cluster found will use value 1, second cluster 2, etc). By default, values
greater than <value-threshold> are considered to be in a cluster, use -less-than to
test for values less than the threshold. To apply this as a mask to the data, or
to do more complicated thresholding, see -volume-math.

function, and the magnitude of this vector is the output. If specified, the volume
vector output is arranged with the x, y, and z components from a subvolume as
consecutive subvolumes.

<value> - the numeric value for unlabeled (default 0)
[-subvolume] - select a single subvolume to import
<subvol> - the subvolume number or name
[-drop-unused-labels] - remove any unused label values from the label
table
Creates a new volume with label information in the header in the caret nifti
extension format. You may specify the empty string ('' will work on linux/mac) for
<label-list-file>, which will be treated as if it is an empty file. The label list
file must have lines of the following format:
<labelname> <value> <red> <green> <blue> <alpha>
Do not specify the "unlabeled" key in the file, it is assumed that 0 means not
labeled unless -unlabeled-value is specified. Label names must be on a separate
line, but may contain spaces or other unusual characters (but not newline).
Whitespace is trimmed from both ends of the label name, but is kept if it is in the
middle of a label. The values of red, green, blue and alpha must be integers from
0 to 255, and will specify the color the label is drawn as (alpha of 255 means
opaque, which is probably what you want). By default, it will set new label names
with names of LABEL_# for any values encountered that are not mentioned in the list
file, specify -discard-others to instead set these voxels to the "unlabeled" key.
-volume-label-to-roi MAKE A VOLUME LABEL INTO AN ROI VOLUME

-volume-math EVALUATE EXPRESSION ON VOLUME FILES
wb_command -volume-math
<expression> - the expression to evaluate, in quotes <volume-out> - output - the
output volume
[-fixnan] - replace NaN results with a value
<replace> - value to replace NaN with
[-var] - repeatable - a volume file to use as a variable
<name> - the name of the variable, as used in the expression <volume> - the volume
file to use as this variable
[-subvolume] - select a single subvolume
<subvol> - the subvolume number or name
[-repeat] - reuse a single subvolume for each subvolume of calculation
This command evaluates <expression> at each voxel independently.
There
must be at least one -var option (to get the volume space from), even if the <name>
specified in it isn't used in <expression>. All volumes must have the same volume
space. Filenames are not valid in <expression>, use a variable name and a -var
option with matching <name> to specify an input file. If the -subvolume option is
given to any -var option, only one subvolume is used from that file. If -repeat is
specified, the file must either have only one subvolume, or have the -subvolume
option specified. All files that don't use -repeat must have the same number of
subvolumes requested to be used. The format of <expression> is as follows:
Expressions consist of constants, variables, operators, parentheses, and functions,
in infix notation, such as 'exp(-x + 3) * scale'. Variables are strings of any
length, using the characters a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and _, but may not take the name of a
named constant. Currently, there is only one named constant, PI. The operators
are +, -, *, /, ^, >, <, >=, <=, ==, !=, !, &&, ||. These behave as in C, except
that ^ is exponentiation, i.e. pow(x, y), and takes higher precedence than other
binary operators (also, '-3^-4^-5' means '-(3^(-(4^-5)))'). The <=, >=, ==, and !=
operators are given a small amount of wiggle room, equal to one millionth of the
smaller of the absolute values of the values being compared.
Comparison and logical operators return 0 or 1, you can do masking with expressions
like 'x * (mask > 0)'. For all logical operators, an input is considered true iff
it is greater than 0. The expression '0 < x < 5' is not syntactically wrong, but
it will NOT do what is desired, because it is evaluated left to right, i.e. '((0 <
x) < 5)', which will always return 1, as both possible results of a comparison are
less than 5. A warning is generated if an expression of this type is detected.
Use something like 'x > 0 && x < 5' to get the desired behavior.
Whitespace between elements is ignored, ' sin ( 2 * x ) ' is equivalent to
'sin(2*x)', but 's in(2*x)' is an error. Implied multiplication is not allowed,
the expression '2x' will be parsed as a variable. Parentheses are (), do not use
[] or {}. Functions require parentheses, the expression 'sin x' is an error.
The following functions are supported:
sin: 1 argument, the sine of the argument (units are radians) cos: 1 argument, the
cosine of the argument (units are radians) tan: 1 argument, the tangent of the
argument (units are radians) asin: 1 argument, the inverse of sine of the argument,
in radians acos: 1 argument, the inverse of cosine of the argument, in radians
atan: 1 argument, the inverse of tangent of the argument, in radians atan2: 2
arguments, atan2(y, x) returns the inverse of tangent of
(y/x), in radians, determining quadrant by the sign of both arguments
sinh: 1 argument, the hyperbolic sine of the argument cosh: 1 argument, the
hyperbolic cosine of the argument tanh: 1 argument, the hyperboloc tangent of the
argument asinh: 1 argument, the inverse hyperbolic sine of the argument acosh: 1
argument, the inverse hyperbolic cosine of the argument atanh: 1 argument, the
inverse hyperboloc tangent of the argument ln: 1 argument, the natural logarithm of
the argument exp: 1 argument, the constant e raised to the power of the argument
log: 1 argument, the base 10 logarithm of the argument sqrt: 1 argument, the square
root of the argument abs: 1 argument, the absolute value of the argument floor: 1
argument, the largest integer not greater than the argument round: 1 argument, the
nearest integer, with ties rounded away from
zero
ceil: 1 argument, the smallest integer not less than the argument min: 2 arguments,
min(x, y) returns y if (x > y), x otherwise max: 2 arguments, max(x, y) returns y
if (x < y), x otherwise mod: 2 arguments, mod(x, y) = x - y * floor(x / y), or 0 if
y == 0 clamp: 3 arguments, clamp(x, low, high) = min(max(x, low), high)

output - output volume
[-fix-zeros] - treat zero values as not being data
[-subvolume] - select a single subvolume as input
<subvol> - the subvolume number or name
Smooths and resamples the region inside each label in cur-parcels to the region of
the same label name in new-parcels. Any voxels in the output label region but
outside the input label region will be extrapolated from nearby data. The
-fix-zeros option causes the smoothing to not use an input value if it is zero, but
still write a smoothed value to the voxel, and after smoothing is complete, it will
check for any remaining values of zero, and fill them in with extrapolated values.
Note: all volumes must have the same dimensions and spacing.
To use a
different output space, see -volume-parcel-resampling-generic.
-volume-parcel-resampling-generic SMOOTH AND RESAMPLE VOLUME PARCELS FROM DIFFERENT VOLUME

Smooths and resamples the region inside each label in cur-parcels to the region of
the same label name in new-parcels. Any voxels in the output label region but
outside the input label region will be extrapolated from nearby data. The
-fix-zeros option causes the smoothing to not use an input value if it is zero, but
still write a smoothed value to the voxel, and after smoothing is complete, it will
check for any remaining values of zero, and fill them in with extrapolated values.
The output volume will use the volume space of new-parcels, which does not need to
be in the same volume space as the input.

voxel. The reduction operators are as follows:
MAX: the maximum value MIN: the minimum value INDEXMAX: the 1-based index of the

<volume-out> - out - the reoriented volume
Changes the voxel order and the header spacing/origin information such that the
value of any spatial point is unchanged. Orientation strings look like 'LPI',
which means first index is left to right, second is posterior to anterior, and
third is inferior to superior. The valid characters are:
L left to right
R right to left
P posterior to anterior
A anterior to posterior
I inferior to superior
S superior to inferior

<subvol> - the subvolume number or name
For each nonzero value in each map, make a map with an ROI around that location.
If the -gaussian option is specified, then normalized gaussian kernels are output
instead of ROIs. The <method> argument to -overlap-logic must be one of ALLOW,
CLOSEST, or EXCLUDE. ALLOW is the default, and means that ROIs are treated
independently and may overlap. CLOSEST means that ROIs may not overlap, and that
no ROI contains vertices that are closer to a different seed vertex. EXCLUDE means
that ROIs may not overlap, and that any vertex within range of more than one ROI
does not belong to any ROI.

wb_command -volume-smoothing
<volume-in> - the volume to smooth <kernel> - the gaussian smoothing kernel sigma,
in mm <volume-out> - output - the output volume
[-roi] - smooth only from data within an ROI
<roivol> - the volume to use as an ROI
[-fix-zeros] - treat zero values as not being data
[-subvolume] - select a single subvolume to smooth
<subvol> - the subvolume number or name
Gaussian smoothing for volumes.
By default, smooths all subvolumes with
no ROI, if ROI is given, only positive voxels in the ROI volume have their values
used, and all other voxels are set to zero. Smoothing a non-orthogonal volume will
be significantly slower, because the operation cannot be separated into
1-dimensional smoothings without distorting the kernel shape.
The -fix-zeros option causes the smoothing to not use an input value if it is zero,
but still write a smoothed value to the voxel. This is useful for zeros that
indicate lack of information, preventing them from pulling down the intensity of
nearby voxels, while giving the zero an extrapolated value.

<roi-volume> - the roi, as a volume file
[-match-maps] - each subvolume of input uses the corresponding
subvolume from the roi file
[-show-map-name] - print map index and name before each output
For each subvolume of the input, a single number is printed, resulting from the
specified reduction or percentile operation. Use -subvolume to only give output
for a single subvolume. Use -roi to consider only the data within a region.
Exactly one of -reduce or -percentile must be specified.
The argument to the -reduce option must be one of the following:
MAX: the maximum value MIN: the minimum value INDEXMAX: the 1-based index of the
maximum value INDEXMIN: the 1-based index of the minimum value SUM: add all values
PRODUCT: multiply all values MEAN: the mean of the data STDEV: the standard
deviation (N denominator) SAMPSTDEV: the sample standard deviation (N-1
denominator) VARIANCE: the variance of the data MEDIAN: the median of the data

[-subvolume] - select a single subvolume
<subvolume> - the subvolume number or name
Threshold-free cluster enhancement is a method to increase the relative value of
regions that would form clusters in a standard thresholding test. This is
accomplished by evaluating the integral of:
e(h, p)^E * h^H * dh
at each vertex p, where h ranges from 0 to the maximum value in the data, and e(h,
p) is the extent of the cluster containing vertex p at threshold h. Negative
values are similarly enhanced by negating the data, running the same process, and
negating the result.
This method is explained in: Smith SM, Nichols TE., "Threshold-free cluster
enhancement: addressing problems of smoothing, threshold dependence and
localisation in cluster inference." Neuroimage. 2009 Jan 1;44(1):83-98. PMID:

Enclosing voxel uses the
value from the voxel the vertex lies inside, while trilinear does a 3D linear
interpolation based on the voxels immediately on each side of the vertex's
position.
The ribbon mapping method constructs a polyhedron from the vertex's neighbors on
each surface, and estimates the amount of this polyhedron's volume that falls
inside any nearby voxels, to use as the weights for sampling. The volume ROI is
useful to exclude partial volume effects of voxels the surfaces pass through, and
will cause the mapping to ignore voxels that don't have a positive value in the
mask. The subdivision number specifies how it approximates the amount of the
volume the polyhedron intersects, by splitting each voxel into NxNxN pieces, and
checking whether the center of each piece is inside the polyhedron. If you have
very large voxels, consider increasing this if you get zeros in your output.
The myelin style method uses part of the caret5 myelin mapping command to do the
mapping: for each surface vertex, take all voxels closer than the thickness at the
vertex that are within the ribbon ROI, and less than half the thickness value away
from the vertex along the direction of the surface normal, and apply a gaussian
kernel with the specified sigma to them to get the weights to use.
-volume-vector-operation DO A VECTOR OPERATION ON VOLUME FILES
wb_command -volume-vector-operation
<vectors-a> - first vector input file <vectors-b> - second vector input file
<operation> - what vector operation to do <volume-out> - output - the output file
[-normalize-a] - normalize vectors of first input
[-normalize-b] - normalize vectors of second input
[-normalize-output] - normalize output vectors (not valid for dot
product)
[-magnitude] - output the magnitude of the result (not valid for dot
product)
Does a vector operation on two volume files (that must have a multiple of 3
subvolumes). Either of the inputs may have multiple vectors (more than 3
subvolumes), but not both (at least one must have exactly 3 subvolumes). The
-magnitude and -normalize-output options may not be specified together, or with the
DOT operation. The <operation> parameter must be one of the following:
DOT CROSS ADD SUBTRACT
-volume-warpfield-resample RESAMPLE VOLUME USING WARPFIELD
wb_command -volume-warpfield-resample
<volume-in> - volume to resample <warpfield> - the warpfield to apply
<volume-space> - a volume file in the volume space you want for the
output
<method> - the resampling method <volume-out> - output - the output volume
[-fnirt] - MUST be used if using a fnirt warpfield
<source-volume> - the source volume used when generating the warpfield
Resample a volume file with a warpfield.
The recommended methods are
CUBIC (cubic spline) for most data, and ENCLOSING_VOXEL for label data. The
parameter <method> must be one of:
CUBIC ENCLOSING_VOXEL TRILINEAR
-volume-weighted-stats WEIGHTED SPATIAL STATISTICS ON A VOLUME FILE
wb_command -volume-weighted-stats
<volume-in> - the input volume
[-weight-volume] - use weights from a volume file
<weight-volume> - volume file containing the weights
[-subvolume] - only display output for one subvolume
<subvolume> - the subvolume number or name
[-roi] - only consider data inside an roi
<roi-volume> - the roi, as a volume file
[-match-maps] - each subvolume of input uses the corresponding
subvolume from the roi file
[-mean] - compute weighted mean
[-stdev] - compute weighted standard deviation
[-sample] - estimate population stdev from the sample
[-percentile] - compute weighted percentile
<percent> - the percentile to find
[-sum] - compute weighted sum
[-show-map-name] - print map index and name before each output
For each subvolume of the input, a single number is printed, resulting from the
specified operation. If -weight-volume is not specified, each voxel's volume is
used. Use -subvolume to only give output for a single subvolume. Use -roi to
consider only the data within a region. Exactly one of -mean, -stdev, -percentile
or -sum must be specified.
Using -sum without -weight-volume is equivalent to integrating with respect to
volume.
-wbsparse-merge-dense MERGE WBSPARSE FILES ALONG DENSE DIMENSION
wb_command -wbsparse-merge-dense
<direction> - which dimension to merge along, ROW or COLUMN <wbsparse-out> - output
- the output wbsparse file
[-wbsparse] - repeatable - specify an input wbsparse file
<wbsparse-in> - a wbsparse file to merge
The input wbsparse files must have matching mappings along the direction not
specified, and the mapping along the specified direction must be brain models.
-zip-scene-file ZIP A SCENE FILE AND ITS DATA FILES
wb_command -zip-scene-file
<scene-file> - the scene file to make the zip file from <extract-folder> - the name
of the folder created when the zip file is
unzipped
<zip-file> - out - the zip file that will be created
[-base-dir] - specify a directory that all data files are somewhere
within, this will become the root of the zipfile's directory structure <directory>
- the directory
If zip-file already exists, it will be overwritten.
If -base-dir is not
specified, the directory containing the scene file is used for the base directory.
The scene file must contain only relative paths, and no data files may be outside
the base directory.
-zip-spec-file ZIP A SPEC FILE AND ITS DATA FILES
wb_command -zip-spec-file
<spec-file> - the specification file to add to zip file <extract-folder> - the name
of the folder created when the zip file is
unzipped
<zip-file> - out - the zip file that will be created
[-base-dir] - specify a directory that all data files are somewhere
within, this will become the root of the zipfile's directory structure <directory>
- the directory
If zip-file already exists, it will be overwritten.
If -base-dir is not
specified, the directory containing the spec file is used for the base directory.
The spec file must contain only relative paths, and no data files may be outside
the base directory. Scene files inside spec files are not checked for what files
they reference, ensure that all data files referenced by the scene files are also
referenced by the spec file.
