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

-annotation-resample RESAMPLE AN ANNOTATION FILE TO DIFFERENT MESHES
wb_command -annotation-resample
<annotation-in> - the annotation file to resample <annotation-out> - name of resampled annotation
file
[-surface-pair] - repeatable - pair of surfaces for resampling surface
annotations for one structure <source-surface> - the midthickness surface of the current mesh the
annotations use
<target-surface> - the midthickness surface of the mesh the
annotations should be transferred to
Resample an annotation file from the source mesh to the target mesh.
Only annotations in surface space are modified, no changes are made to annotations in other
spaces. The -surface-pair option may be repeated for additional structures used by surface space
annotations.
-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-length REPORT LENGTH OF BORDERS
wb_command -border-length
<border> - the input border file <surface> - the surface to measure the borders on
[-corrected-areas] - vertex areas to use instead of computing them from
the surface <area-metric> - the corrected vertex areas, as a metric
[-separate-pieces] - report lengths for multi-part borders as separate
numbers
[-hide-border-name] - don't print border name before each output
For each border, print its length along the surface, in mm.
If a border
has multiple parts, their lengths are summed before printing, unless -separate-pieces is
specified.
The -corrected-areas option is intended for when the length is not meaningfully measurable on
individual surfaces, it is only an approximate correction for the reduction in structure of a
group average surface.
-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.

output - the output metric file
[-border] - create ROI for only one border
<name> - the name of the border
[-inverse] - use inverse selection (outside border)
[-include-border] - include vertices the border is closest to
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.

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 is a dscalar file with a column (map) for each label in the specified input
map, other than the ??? label, each of which contains a binary ROI of all brainordinates that are
set to the corresponding label.
Most of the time, specifying '1' for the <map> argument will do what is desired.
-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

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.

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-out> - output - output cifti file

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, applies the fisher small z transform, 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.

This command is used to convert a full CIFTI matrix to/from formats that can be used by programs
that don't understand CIFTI. You must specify exactly one of -to-gifti-ext, -from-gifti-ext,
-to-nifti, -from-nifti, -to-text, or -from-text.
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.
If you want to import a matrix that is restricted to an ROI, first create a template CIFTI file
matching that ROI using a -cifti-create-* command. After importing to CIFTI, you can then expand
the file into a standard brainordinates space with -cifti-create-dense-from-template. If you want
to export only part of a CIFTI file, first create an roi-restricted CIFTI file with
-cifti-restrict-dense-mapping.
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-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).

[-surface-presmooth] - smooth on the surface before computing the
gradient <surface-kernel> - the size of the gaussian surface smoothing kernel
in mm, as sigma by default
[-volume-presmooth] - smooth the volume before computing the gradient
<volume-kernel> - the size of the gaussian volume smoothing kernel in
mm, as sigma by default
[-presmooth-fwhm] - smoothing kernel sizes are FWHM, not sigma
[-undo-fisher-z] - apply the inverse fisher small z transform to the
input
[-fisher-z] - apply the fisher small z transform to the correlations

computation <distance> - geodesic distance from seed vertex for the exclusion
zone, in mm
[-volume-exclude] - exclude voxels near each seed voxel from computation

[-fisher-z-first] - after the FIRST correlation, apply fisher small z
transform (ie, artanh)
[-no-demean-first] - instead of correlation for the FIRST operation,
do dot product of rows, then normalize by diagonal
[-covariance-first] - instead of correlation for the FIRST operation,
compute covariance
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).

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:

label volume file that defines which voxels
to use
[-left-label] - label file for left surface
<label> - the label file
[-roi-left] - roi of vertices to use from left surface

<roi-metric> - the ROI as a metric file
All input files must have the same number of columns/subvolumes.
Only
the specified components will be in the output cifti.
At least one
component must be specified.
The -volume option requires two volume arguments, the label-volume argument contains all labels
you want to display (e.g. nuclei of the thalamus), whereas the structure-label-volume argument
contains all CIFTI voxel-based structures you want to include data within (e.g. THALAMUS_LEFT,
THALAMUS_RIGHT, etc). See -volume-label-import and -volume-help for format details of label
volume files. If you just want the labels in voxels to be the structure names, you may use the
same file for both arguments. The structure-label-volume must use some of the label names from
this list, all other label names in the structure-label-volume will be ignored:

<cifti-template> - a cifti file with the template parcel mapping along
column
<modify-direction> - which dimension of the output file should match the
template (integer, 'ROW', or 'COLUMN')

<value> - value to use (default 0)
[-cifti] - repeatable - specify an input cifti file
<cifti-in> - the input parcellated cifti file
For each parcel name in the template mapping, find that name in an input cifti file and use its
data in the output file. All input cifti files must have a parcels mapping along
<modify-direction> and matching mappings along other dimensions. The direction can be either an
integer starting from 1, or the strings 'ROW' or 'COLUMN'.
-cifti-create-scalar-series IMPORT SERIES DATA INTO CIFTI
wb_command -cifti-create-scalar-series
<input> - input file <cifti-out> - output - output cifti file
[-transpose] - use if the rows of the text file are along the scalar
dimension
[-name-file] - use a text file to set names on scalar dimension
<file> - text file containing names, one per line
[-series] - set the units and values of the series
<unit> - the unit to use <start> - the value at the first series point <step> - the interval
between series points
Convert a text file containing series of equal length into a cifti file. The text file should
have lines made up of numbers separated by whitespace, with no extra newlines between lines.
The <unit> argument must be one of the following:

-cifti-cross-correlation CORRELATE A CIFTI FILE WITH ANOTHER CIFTI FILE
wb_command -cifti-cross-correlation
<cifti-a> - first input cifti file <cifti-b> - second input cifti file <cifti-out> - output -
output cifti 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
[-mem-limit] - restrict memory usage
<limit-GB> - memory limit in gigabytes
Correlates every row in <cifti-a> with every row in <cifti-b>.
The
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.
Restricting the memory usage will make it calculate the output in chunks, by reading through
<cifti-b> multiple times.

computing them from the cerebellum surface <area-metric> - the corrected vertex areas, as a metric
[-bad-brainordinate-roi] - specify an roi of brainordinates to overwrite,
rather than zeros <roi-cifti> - cifti dscalar or dtseries file, positive values denote
brainordinates to have their values replaced
[-nearest] - use nearest good value instead of a weighted average
[-merged-volume] - treat volume components as if they were a single
component
[-legacy-mode] - use the math from v1.3.2 and earlier for weighted
dilation
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. When the
input file contains label data, nearest dilation is used on the surface, and weighted popularity
is used in the volume.
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.

[-merged-volume] - treat volume components as if they were a single
component
For all data values that are empty (for label data, unlabeled, for other data, zero), set the
surrounding values to empty. The surrounding values are defined as the immediate neighbors and
all values in the same structure within the specified distance (-merged-volume treats all voxels
as one structure).
The -*-corrected-areas options are intended for eroding on group average surfaces, but it is only
an approximate correction.

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.
-cifti-find-clusters FILTER CLUSTERS BY AREA/VOLUME

[-start] - start labeling clusters from a value other than 1
<startval> - the value to give the first cluster found
Outputs a cifti file with nonzero integers for all brainordinates 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). Cluster values are not reused across maps of the output, but
instead keep counting up. The input cifti file must have a brain models mapping on the chosen
dimension, columns for .dtseries, and either for .dconn. The ROI should have a brain models
mapping along columns, exactly matching the mapping of the chosen direction in the input file.

resulting gradients. The -vectors and -average-output options may not be used together. You must
specify a surface for each surface structure in the 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 -average-output.
-cifti-label-adjacency MAKE ADJACENCY MATRIX OF A CIFTI LABEL FILE

<label-in> - the input cifti label file <adjacency-out> - output - the output cifti pconn
adjacency matrix

<surface> - the right surface file
[-cerebellum-surface] - specify the cerebellum surface to use
<surface> - the cerebellum surface file
Find face-adjacent voxels and connected vertices that have different label values, and count them
for each pair. Put the resulting counts into a parcellated connectivity file, with the diagonal
being zero. This gives a rough estimate of how long or expansive the border between two labels
is.
-cifti-label-export-table EXPORT LABEL TABLE FROM CIFTI AS TEXT
wb_command -cifti-label-export-table
<label-in> - the input cifti label file <map> - the number or name of the label map to use
<table-out> - output - the output text file
Takes the label table from the cifti label map, and writes it to a text format matching what is
expected by -cifti-label-import.
-cifti-label-import MAKE A CIFTI LABEL FILE FROM A CIFTI FILE
wb_command -cifti-label-import
<input> - the input cifti file <label-list-file> - text file containing the values and names for
labels <output> - output - the output cifti 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)
[-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 (use "") for <label-list-file>, which will be treated as if it is an
empty file. The label list file must have the following format (2 lines per label):
<labelname> <key> <red> <green> <blue> <alpha> ...
Label names are specified on a separate line from their value and color, in order to let label
names contain spaces. Whitespace is trimmed from both ends of the label name, but is kept if it
is in the middle of a label. Do not specify the "unlabeled" key in the file, it is assumed that 0
means not labeled unless -unlabeled-value is specified. The value of <key> specifies what value
in the imported file should be used as this label (these same key values are also used in the
output file). 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 fully opaque, which is
probably what you want).
By default, it will create new label names with names like LABEL_5 for any values encountered that
are not mentioned in the list file, specify -discard-others to instead set these values to the
"unlabeled" key.
-cifti-label-modify-keys CHANGE KEY VALUES IN A DLABEL FILE
wb_command -cifti-label-modify-keys
<cifti-in> - the input dlabel file <remap-file> - text file with old and new key values
<cifti-out> - output - the output dlabel file
[-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, as it will change the key values in the data at the same
time.
-cifti-label-probability FIND FREQUENCY OF CIFTI LABELS
wb_command -cifti-label-probability
<label-maps> - cifti dlabel file containing individual label maps from
many subjects
<probability-dscalar-out> - output - the relative frequencies of each
label at each vertex/voxel
[-exclude-unlabeled] - don't make a probability map of the unlabeled key
This command outputs a set of soft ROIs, one for each label in the input, where the value is how
many of the input maps had that label at that vertex/voxel, divided by the number of input maps.
-cifti-label-to-border DRAW BORDERS AROUND CIFTI LABELS
wb_command -cifti-label-to-border
<cifti-in> - the input cifti dlabel 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
[-border] - repeatable - specify output file for a surface structure
<surface> - the surface to use for neighbor and structure information <border-out> - output - the
output border file
For each surface, takes the labels on the matching structure and draws borders around the labels.
Use -column to only draw borders around one label map.
-cifti-label-to-roi MAKE A CIFTI LABEL INTO AN ROI
wb_command -cifti-label-to-roi
<label-in> - the input cifti label file <scalar-out> - output - the output cifti scalar file
[-name] - select label by name
<label-name> - the label name that you want an roi of
[-key] - select label by key
<label-key> - the label key that you want an roi of
[-map] - select a single label map to use
<map> - the map number or name
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. Specify -map to use only one map from
<label-in>.
-cifti-math EVALUATE EXPRESSION ON CIFTI FILES
wb_command -cifti-math
<expression> - the expression to evaluate, in quotes <cifti-out> - output - the output cifti file
[-fixnan] - replace NaN results with a value
<replace> - value to replace NaN with
[-override-mapping-check] - don't check the mappings for compatibility,
only check length
[-var] - repeatable - a cifti file to use as a variable
<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 number (1-based) or map name to
use
[-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

Given input CIFTI files for which mappings along the selected direction are the same type, all
either series, scalars, or labels, and the other dimensions are index-compatible, this command
concatenates the data in the specified indices/ranges along the selected direction (by default, on
typical 2D cifti, concatenate horizontally, so rows become longer). The direction can be either
an integer starting from 1, or the strings 'ROW' or 'COLUMN'.
Example: wb_command -cifti-merge out.dtseries.nii -cifti first.dtseries.nii -index 1 -cifti
second.dtseries.nii
This example would take the first column from first.dtseries.nii, followed by all columns from
second.dtseries.nii, and write these columns to out.dtseries.nii.

ROW or COLUMN <template-cifti> - a cifti file with the desired dense mapping along
column

This command will output a dlabel file, useful for doing the same parcellation to another dense
file.
For ptseries, pscalar, plabel, pconn, and pdconn, using COLUMN for <direction> will work.
-cifti-parcellate PARCELLATE A CIFTI FILE
wb_command -cifti-parcellate
<cifti-in> - the cifti file to parcellate <cifti-label> - a cifti label file to use for the

parcel 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
[-only-numeric] - exclude non-numeric values
[-fill-value] - specify value to use in empty parcels (default 0)
<value> - the value to fill empty parcels with
[-nonempty-mask-out] - output a matching pscalar file that has 0s in
empty parcels, and 1s elsewhere <mask-out> - output - the output mask file
[-legacy-mode] - use the old behavior, parcels are defined by the
intersection between labels and valid data, and empty parcels are discarded
[-include-empty] - deprecated: now the default behavior
Each label (other than the unlabeled key) in the cifti label file will be treated as a parcel, and
all rows or columns of data within the parcel are averaged together to form the parcel's output
row or column. If -legacy-mode is specified, parcels will be defined as the overlap between a
label and the data, with no errors for missing data vertices or voxels, and empty parcels
discarded. The direction can be either an integer starting from 1, or the strings 'ROW' or
'COLUMN'. For dtseries or dscalar, use COLUMN. If you are parcellating a dconn in both
directions, parcellating by ROW first will use much less memory.
NOTE: the parcels in the output file are sorted by the numeric label keys, in ascending order.
The parameter to the -method option must be one of the following:
MAX: the maximum value MIN: the minimum value INDEXMAX: the 1-based index of the maximum value

<cifti-in> - input 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'.

<structure> - the structure to replace the data of <volume> - the input volume
[-from-cropped] - the input is cropped to the size of the component
This is a fairly low-level command, you probably want to use -cifti-create-dense-from-template
instead.
You must specify at least one of -metric, -label, -volume, or -volume-all for this command to do
anything. Input volumes must line up with the output of -cifti-separate. For dtseries/dscalar,
use COLUMN, and if your dconn matrix will be fully symmetric, COLUMN is more efficient. The
-volume-all option must not be specified when using a -volume option. A -metric option must not
be specified when using a -label option, and is not recommended on a label-type cifti file. For
each <structure> argument, use one of the following strings:
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

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. The
<template-direction> argument should usually be COLUMN, as dtseries, dscalar, and dlabel all have
brainordinates on that direction. 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.
If neither -affine nor -warpfield are specified, the identity transform is assumed for the volume
data.
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. Using ADAP_BARY_AREA requires
specifying an area option to each used -*-spheres option.
The <volume-method> argument must be one of the following:
CUBIC ENCLOSING_VOXEL TRILINEAR
The <surface-method> argument must be one of the following:

mesh
<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. The
<template-direction> argument should usually be COLUMN, as dtseries, dscalar, and dlabel all have
brainordinates on that direction. 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.
To get the v1.3.2 and earlier behavior of weighted dilation, specify exponent of 2 for surface and
volume, and -legacy-cutoff for both surface and volume.
The <volume-method> argument must be one of the following:
CUBIC ENCLOSING_VOXEL TRILINEAR

[-cerebellum-roi] - vertices to use from cerebellum
<roi-metric> - the cerebellum roi as a metric file
[-vol-roi] - voxels to use
<roi-vol> - the roi volume file
Average the rows that are within the specified ROIs, and write the resulting average row to a text
file, separated by newlines. If -cifti-roi is specified, -left-roi, -right-roi, -cerebellum-roi,
and -vol-roi must not be specified.
-cifti-rois-from-extrema CREATE CIFTI ROI MAPS FROM EXTREMA MAPS
wb_command -cifti-rois-from-extrema
<cifti> - the input cifti <surf-limit> - geodesic distance limit from vertex, in mm <vol-limit> -
euclidean distance limit from voxel center, in mm <direction> - which dimension an extrema map is
along, ROW or COLUMN <cifti-out> - output - the output cifti
[-left-surface] - specify the left surface to use
<surface> - the left surface file
[-right-surface] - specify the right surface to use
<surface> - the right surface file
[-cerebellum-surface] - specify the cerebellum surface to use
<surface> - the cerebellum surface file
[-gaussian] - generate gaussian kernels instead of flat ROIs
<surf-sigma> - the sigma for the surface gaussian kernel, in mm <vol-sigma> - the sigma for the
volume gaussian kernel, in mm
[-overlap-logic] - how to handle overlapping ROIs, default ALLOW
<method> - the method of resolving overlaps
[-merged-volume] - treat volume components as if they were a single
component
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.

[-roi] - also output the roi of which voxels have data
<roi-out> - output - the roi output volume
[-crop] - crop volume to the size of the component rather than using
the original volume size
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. Volume files produced by separating a dlabel file, or from the -label suboption
of -volume-all, will be label volumes, see -volume-help.
For each <structure> argument, use one of the following strings:
CORTEX_LEFT CORTEX_RIGHT CEREBELLUM ACCUMBENS_LEFT ACCUMBENS_RIGHT ALL_GREY_MATTER

<cifti> - the input cifti <surface-kernel> - the size of the gaussian surface smoothing kernel in
mm, as sigma by default
<volume-kernel> - the size of the gaussian volume smoothing kernel in mm,
as sigma by default
<direction> - which dimension to smooth along, ROW or COLUMN <cifti-out> - output - the output
cifti
[-fwhm] - kernel sizes are FWHM, not sigma
[-left-surface] - specify the left surface to use
<surface> - the left surface file
[-left-corrected-areas] - vertex areas to use instead of computing
them from the left surface <area-metric> - the corrected vertex areas, as a metric
[-right-surface] - specify the right surface to use
<surface> - the right surface file
[-right-corrected-areas] - vertex areas to use instead of computing
them from the right surface <area-metric> - the corrected vertex areas, as a metric
[-cerebellum-surface] - specify the cerebellum surface to use
<surface> - the cerebellum surface file

[-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.
-cifti-stats STATISTICS ALONG CIFTI COLUMNS
wb_command -cifti-stats
<cifti-in> - the input cifti

[-show-map-name] - print column index and name before each output
For each column of the input, a line of text is printed, resulting from the specified reduction or
percentile operation. If -roi is specified without -match-maps, then each line will contain as
many numbers as there are maps in the ROI file, separated by tab characters. Use -column to only
give output for a single data column. 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 TSNR: mean divided by
sample standard deviation (N-1 denominator) COV: sample standard deviation (N-1 denominator)
divided by mean L2NORM: square root of sum of squares MEDIAN: the median of the data MODE: the

wb_command -cifti-transpose
<cifti-in> - the input cifti file <cifti-out> - output - the output cifti file
[-mem-limit] - restrict memory usage
<limit-GB> - memory limit in gigabytes
The input must be a 2-dimensional cifti file.
The output is a cifti file
where every row in the input is a column in the output.
-cifti-vector-operation DO A VECTOR OPERATION ON CIFTI FILES
wb_command -cifti-vector-operation
<vectors-a> - first vector input file <vectors-b> - second vector input file <operation> - what
vector operation to do <cifti-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 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:
DOT CROSS ADD SUBTRACT
-cifti-weighted-stats WEIGHTED STATISTICS ALONG CIFTI COLUMNS
wb_command -cifti-weighted-stats

[-column] - only display output for one column
<column> - the column to use (1-based)
[-roi] - only consider data inside an roi
<roi-cifti> - the roi, as a cifti file
[-match-maps] - each column of input uses the corresponding column
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, must be between 0 and 100
[-sum] - compute weighted sum
[-show-map-name] - print map index and name before each output
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 on separate lines. For
other mapping types, the operation is done on each column, and one line 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. If the -roi option is used without -match-maps, then each line will
contain as many numbers as there are maps in the ROI file, separated by tab characters. 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. When the input is binary
ROIs, this will therefore output the area or volume of each ROI.
-class-add-member
Add members to class header (.h) and implementation (.cxx) files.
[-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.

NIFTI world matrices can be used directly on mm coordinates via matrix multiplication, they use
the NIFTI coordinate system, that is, positive X is right, positive Y is anterior, and positive Z
is superior. Note that wb_command assumes that world matrices transform source coordinates to
target coordinates, while other tools may use affines that transform target coordinates to source
coordinates.
The ITK format is used by ANTS.
You must specify exactly one -from option, but you may specify multiple -to options, and -to-flirt
may be specified more than once.

[-individual-fibers] - output files for each fiber direction
<fiber-1> - output - output file for first fiber <fiber-2> - output - output file for second fiber
<fiber-3> - output - output file for third fiber
This command makes a cifti file from the fiber counts in a matrix4 wbsparse file, and optionally a
second cifti file from the distances. Note that while the total count is stored exactly, the
per-fiber counts are stored as approximate fractions, so the output of -individual-fibers will
contain nonintegers.

Converts the matrix 4 output of probtrackx to workbench sparse file format. Exactly one of
-surface-seeds and -volume-seeds must be specified.
-convert-warpfield CONVERT A WARPFIELD BETWEEN CONVENTIONS

than relative
[-to-world] - write output as a NIFTI 'world' warpfield
<output> - output - the output warpfield
[-to-itk] - write output as an ITK warpfield
<output> - output - the output warpfield
[-to-fnirt] - repeatable - write output as a fnirt warpfield
<output> - output - the output warpfield <source-volume> - the volume you want to apply the
warpfield to
NIFTI world warpfields can be used directly on mm coordinates via sampling the 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.
The ITK format is used by ANTS.
You must specify exactly one -from option, but you may specify multiple -to options, and -to-fnirt
may be specified more than once.
-create-signed-distance-volume CREATE SIGNED DISTANCE VOLUME FROM SURFACE
wb_command -create-signed-distance-volume
<surface> - the input surface <refspace> - a volume in the desired output space (dims, spacing,
origin) <outvol> - output - the output volume
[-roi-out] - output an roi volume of where the output has a computed
value <roi-vol> - output - the output roi volume
[-fill-value] - specify a value to put in all voxels that don't get
assigned a distance <value> - value to fill with (default 0)
[-exact-limit] - specify distance for exact output
<dist> - distance in mm (default 5)
[-approx-limit] - specify distance for approximate output
<dist> - distance in mm (default 20)
[-approx-neighborhood] - voxel neighborhood for approximate calculation
<num> - size of neighborhood cube measured from center to face, in
voxels (default 2 = 5x5x5)
[-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.

This command does an estimation of a bingham distribution for each fiber orientation in each voxel
which is labeled a structure identifier. These labelings come from the <label-volume> argument,
which must have labels that match the following strings:

of the fiber distributions
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.
-file-convert CHANGE VERSION OF FILE FORMAT
wb_command -file-convert
[-border-version-convert] - write a border file with a different version

output)
[-czi-xml] - show XML from CZI file
List information about the content of a data file.
Only one -only option
may be specified.
The information listed when no -only option is present
is dependent upon the type of data file.

-foci-create CREATE A FOCI FILE
wb_command -foci-create
<output> - output - the output foci file
[-class] - repeatable - specify class input data
<class-name> - name of class <foci-list-file> - text file containing foci names, coordinates, and
colors
<surface> - surface file for projection of foci list file
Creates a foci file from names, coordinates, and RGB values in a text file. The text file must
have the following format (2 lines per focus):
<focus-name> <red> <green> <blue> <x> <y> <z> ...
Foci names are specified on a separate line from their coordinates and color, in order to let foci
names contain spaces. Whitespace is trimmed from both ends of the foci name, but is kept if it is
in the middle of a name. The values of <red>, <green>, <blue> and must be integers from 0 to 255,
and will specify the color the foci is drawn as.
Foci are grouped into classes and the name for the class is specified using the <class-name>
parameter.
All foci within one text file must be associated with the structure contained in the <surface>
parameter and are projected to that surface.

the output metric file
[-name] - select a focus by name
<name> - the name of the focus
For each focus, a column is created in <metric-out>, and the vertex with the most influence on its
projection is assigned a value of 1 in that column, with all other vertices 0. If -name is used,
only one focus will be used.

[-discard-distance-from-surface] - ignore the distance the foci are above
or below the current surface
[-restore-xyz] - put the original xyz coordinates into the foci, rather
than the coordinates obtained from unprojection
Unprojects foci from the <current-surf> for the structure, then projects them to <new-surf>. If
the foci have meaningful distances above or below the surface, use anatomical surfaces. If the
foci should be on the surface, use registered spheres and the options
-discard-distance-from-surface and -restore-xyz.

[-key] - select label by key
<label-key> - the label key that you want an roi of
[-map] - select a single label map to use
<map> - the map number or name
For each map in <label-in>, a map is created in <metric-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. 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
vertices with the unlabeled key <roi-metric> - metric file, positive values denote vertices to
have
their values replaced
[-column] - select a single column to dilate
<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
Fills in label information for all vertices designated as bad, up to the specified distance away
from other labels. If -bad-vertex-roi is specified, all vertices, including those with the
unlabeled key, are good, except for vertices with a positive value in the ROI. If it is not
specified, only vertices with the unlabeled key are bad.
-label-erode ERODE A LABEL FILE
wb_command -label-erode
<label> - the input label <surface> - the surface to erode on <erode-dist> - distance in mm to
erode the labels <label-out> - output - the output label file
[-roi] - assume values outside this roi are labeled
<roi-metric> - metric file, positive values denote vertices that have
data
[-column] - select a single column to erode

[-corrected-areas] - vertex areas to use instead of computing them from
the surface <area-metric> - the corrected vertex areas, as a metric
Around each vertex that is unlabeled, set surrounding vertices to unlabeled. The surrounding
vertices are all immediate neighbors and all vertices within the specified distance.
Note that the -corrected-areas option uses an approximate correction for distance along the
surface.
-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 zero or negative. 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
[-up-to] - use an inclusive range of columns
<last-column> - the number or name of the last column to include
[-reverse] - use the range in reverse order
Takes one or more label files and constructs a new label file by concatenating columns from them.
The input files must have the same number of vertices and the same structure.
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.
-label-modify-keys CHANGE KEY VALUES IN A LABEL FILE
wb_command -label-modify-keys
<label-in> - the input label file <remap-file> - text file with old and new key values <label-out>
- output - output label file
[-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, as it will change the key values in the data at the same
time.
-label-probability FIND FREQUENCY OF SURFACE LABELS
wb_command -label-probability
<label-maps> - label file containing individual label maps from many
subjects
<probability-metric-out> - output - the relative frequencies of each
label at each vertex
[-exclude-unlabeled] - don't make a probability map of the unlabeled key
This command outputs a set of soft ROIs, one for each label in the input, where the value is how
many of the input maps had that label at that vertex, divided by the number of input maps.
-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
<new-sphere> - a sphere surface that is in register with <current-sphere>
and has the desired output mesh
<method> - the method name <label-out> - output - the output label file
[-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
[-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
[-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
[-bypass-sphere-check] - ADVANCED: allow the current and new 'spheres' to
have arbitrary shape as long as they follow the same contour
Resamples a label file, given two spherical surfaces that are in register. If ADAP_BARY_AREA is
used, exactly one of -area-surfs or -area-metrics must be specified.
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. Midthickness surfaces are
recommended for the vertex areas for most data.
The -largest option results in nearest vertex behavior when used with BARYCENTRIC, as 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
-label-to-border DRAW BORDERS AROUND LABELS
wb_command -label-to-border
<surface> - the surface to use for neighbor information <label-in> - the input label file
<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 label, finds all edges on the mesh that cross the boundary of the label, and draws
borders through them. By default, this is done on all columns in the input file, using the map
name as the class name for the border.
-label-to-volume-mapping MAP LABEL FILE TO VOLUME
wb_command -label-to-volume-mapping
<label> - the input label file <surface> - the surface to use coordinates from <volume-space> - a
volume file in the desired output volume space <volume-out> - output - the output volume file
[-nearest-vertex] - use the label from the vertex closest to the voxel
center <distance> - how far from the surface to map labels to voxels, in mm
[-ribbon-constrained] - use ribbon constrained mapping algorithm
<inner-surf> - the inner surface of the ribbon <outer-surf> - the outer surface of the ribbon
[-voxel-subdiv] - voxel divisions while estimating voxel weights
<subdiv-num> - number of subdivisions, default 3
[-greedy] - also put labels in voxels with less than 50% partial
volume (legacy behavior)
[-thick-columns] - use overlapping columns (legacy method)
Maps labels from a gifti label file into a volume file.
You must specify
exactly one mapping method option.
The -nearest-vertex method uses the
label from the vertex closest to the voxel center.
The
-ribbon-constrained method uses the same method as in
-volume-to-surface-mapping, then uses the weights in reverse, with
popularity logic to decide on a label to use.
-metadata-remove-provenance REMOVE PROVENANCE INFORMATION FROM FILE METADATA
wb_command -metadata-remove-provenance
<input-file> - the file to remove provenance information from <output-file> - output - the name to
save the modified file as
Removes the provenance metadata fields added by workbench during processing.
-metadata-string-replace REPLACE A STRING IN ALL METADATA OF A FILE
wb_command -metadata-string-replace
<input-file> - the file to replace metadata in <find-string> - the string to find <replace-string>
- the string to replace <find-string> with <output-file> - output - the name to save the modified
file as
[-case-insensitive] - match with case variation also
Replaces all occurrences of <find-string> in the metadata and map names of <input-file> with
<replace-string>.
-metric-convert CONVERT METRIC FILE TO FAKE NIFTI
wb_command -metric-convert
[-to-nifti] - convert metric to nifti
<metric-in> - the metric to convert <nifti-out> - output - the output nifti file
[-from-nifti] - convert nifti to metric
<nifti-in> - the nifti file to convert <surface-in> - surface file to use number of vertices 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 6)
[-corrected-areas] - vertex areas to use instead of computing them from
the surface <area-metric> - the corrected vertex areas, as a metric
[-legacy-cutoff] - use the v1.3.2 method of choosing how many vertices to
use when calulating the dilated value with weighted method
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-based
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, all vertices with a positive ROI value 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.
To get the behavior of version 1.3.2 or earlier, use '-legacy-cutoff -exponent 2'.
-metric-erode ERODE A METRIC FILE
wb_command -metric-erode
<metric> - the metric file to erode <surface> - the surface to compute on <distance> - distance in
mm to erode <metric-out> - output - the output metric
[-roi] - assume values outside this roi are nonzero
<roi-metric> - metric file, positive values denote vertices that have
data
[-column] - select a single column to erode
<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
Around each vertex with a value of zero, set surrounding vertices to zero. The surrounding
vertices are all immediate neighbors and all vertices within the specified distance.
Note that the -corrected-areas option uses an approximate correction for distance along the
surface.
-metric-estimate-fwhm ESTIMATE FWHM SMOOTHNESS OF A METRIC FILE
wb_command -metric-estimate-fwhm
<surface> - the surface to use for distance and neighbor information <metric-in> - the input
metric
[-roi] - use only data within an ROI
<roi-metric> - the metric file to use as an ROI
[-column] - select a single column to estimate smoothness of
<column> - the column number or name
[-whole-file] - estimate for the whole file at once, not each column
separately
[-demean] - subtract the mean image before estimating smoothness
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 size of the gaussian smoothing kernel in mm, as sigma
by default
[-fwhm] - kernel size is FWHM, not sigma
[-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.
-metric-false-correlation COMPARE CORRELATION LOCALLY AND ACROSS/THROUGH SULCI/GYRI
wb_command -metric-false-correlation
<surface> - the surface to compute geodesic and 3D distance with <metric-in> - the metric to
correlate <3D-dist> - maximum 3D distance to check around each vertex <geo-outer> - maximum
geodesic distance to use for neighboring
correlation
<geo-inner> - minimum geodesic distance to use for neighboring
correlation
<metric-out> - output - the output metric
[-roi] - select a region of interest that has data
<roi-metric> - the region, as a metric file
[-dump-text] - dump the raw measures used to a text file
<text-out> - the output text file
For each vertex, compute the average correlation within a range of geodesic 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.
-metric-fill-holes FILL HOLES IN AN ROI METRIC
wb_command -metric-fill-holes
<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 that are not included in the ROI, and writes ones into all but the
largest one, in terms of surface area.
-metric-find-clusters FILTER CLUSTERS BY SURFACE AREA
wb_command -metric-find-clusters
<surface> - the surface to compute on <metric-in> - the input metric <value-threshold> - threshold
for data values <minimum-area> - threshold for cluster area, in mm^2 <metric-out> - output - the
output metric
[-less-than] - find values less than <value-threshold>, rather than
greater
[-roi] - select a region of interest
<roi-metric> - the roi, as a metric
[-corrected-areas] - vertex areas to use instead of computing them from
the surface <area-metric> - the corrected vertex areas, as a metric
[-column] - select a single column
<column> - the column 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 area
[-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 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). Cluster values are not reused across maps of the output, but instead
keep counting up. 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 size of the gaussian smoothing kernel in mm, as sigma
by default
[-fwhm] - kernel size is FWHM, not sigma
[-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 gifti label file from a metric file with label-like values. You may specify the empty
string (use "") for <label-list-file>, which will be treated as if it is an empty file. The label
list file must have the following format (2 lines per label):
<labelname> <key> <red> <green> <blue> <alpha> ...
Label names are specified on a separate line from their value and color, in order to let label
names contain spaces. Whitespace is trimmed from both ends of the label name, but is kept if it
is in the middle of a label. Do not specify the "unlabeled" key in the file, it is assumed that 0
means not labeled unless -unlabeled-value is specified. The value of <key> specifies what value
in the imported file should be used as this label (these same key values are also used in the
output file). 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 fully opaque, which is
probably what you want).
By default, it will create new label names with names like LABEL_5 for any values encountered that
are not mentioned in the list file, specify -discard-others to instead set these values 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 zero or negative. 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 hyperbolic 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 hyperbolic tangent of the argument sinc: 1 argument,
sinc(0) = 1, sin(x) / x otherwise 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 log2: 1 argument, the base 2 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-regression REGRESS SPATIAL MAP 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

remove <metric> - the metric file to use
[-keep-column] - select a column to use, rather than all

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

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.

source vertices <roi-out> - output - the output roi as a metric
[-largest] - use only the value of the vertex with the largest weight
[-bypass-sphere-check] - ADVANCED: allow the current and new 'spheres' to
have arbitrary shape as long as they follow the same contour
Resamples a metric file, given two spherical surfaces that are in register. If ADAP_BARY_AREA is
used, exactly one of -area-surfs or -area-metrics must be specified.
The ADAP_BARY_AREA method is recommended for ordinary metric data, because it should use all data
while downsampling, unlike BARYCENTRIC. The recommended areas option for most data is individual
midthicknesses for individual data, and averaged vertex area metrics from individual
midthicknesses for group average data.
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. When
resampling a binary metric, consider thresholding at 0.5 after resampling rather than using
-largest.
The <method> argument must be one of the following:
ADAP_BARY_AREA 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
size of the gaussian smoothing kernel in mm, as
sigma by default
<metric-out> - output - the output metric
[-fwhm] - kernel size is FWHM, not sigma
[-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.
-metric-stats SPATIAL STATISTICS ON A METRIC FILE
wb_command -metric-stats
<metric-in> - the input metric
[-reduce] - use a reduction operation

For each column of the input, a line of text is printed, resulting from the specified reduction or
percentile operation. Use -column to only give output for a single column. If the -roi option is
used without -match-maps, then each line will contain as many numbers as there are maps in the ROI
file, separated by tab characters. 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 TSNR: mean divided by

divided by mean L2NORM: square root of sum of squares MEDIAN: the median of the data MODE: the
mode of the data COUNT_NONZERO: the number of nonzero elements in the data

the surface <area-metric> - the corrected vertex areas, as a metric
This command does not do any statistical analysis.
Please use something
like PALM if you are just trying to do statistics on your data.
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."

center <distance> - how far from the surface to map values to voxels, in mm
[-ribbon-constrained] - use ribbon constrained mapping algorithm

Maps values from a metric file into a volume file.
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. Mapping to lower resolutions than the mesh may require a larger -voxel-subdiv
value in order to have all of the surface data participate.
-metric-vector-operation DO A VECTOR OPERATION ON METRIC FILES
wb_command -metric-vector-operation
<vectors-a> - first vector input file <vectors-b> - second vector input file <operation> - what

product)
Does a vector operation on two metric 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:
DOT CROSS ADD SUBTRACT

[-match-maps] - each column of input uses the corresponding column
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, must be between 0 and 100
[-sum] - compute weighted sum
[-show-map-name] - print map index and name before each output
For each column of the input, a line of text is printed, resulting from the specified operation.
You must specify exactly one of -area-surface or -weight-metric. Use -column to only give output
for a single column. If the -roi option is used without -match-maps, then each line will contain
as many numbers as there are maps in the ROI file, separated by tab characters. 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
-nifti-information DISPLAY INFORMATION ABOUT A NIFTI/CIFTI FILE
wb_command -nifti-information
<nifti-file> - the nifti/cifti file to examine
[-print-header] - display the header contents

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

-scene-capture-image OFFSCREEN RENDERING OF SCENE TO AN IMAGE FILE
wb_command -scene-capture-image
<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
The file name must end with a valid extension that identifies the image file format. Valid
extensions on this system are: (.bmp .jpeg .jpg .png .ppm).
If there is more than one window in the scene, multiple image files are output with the window's
number inserted into the name of the image file immediately before the image file's extension.
[-size-window] - Output image is size of window's graphics region from
when scene was created.
[-size-capture] - Output image uses size from Capture Dialog when scene
was created
[-size-width-height] - Width and height for output image
<width> - Width for output image <height> - Height for output image
[-size-width] - Width for output image.
Height is computed using the
aspect ratio from the window's width and height saved in the scene. <width> - Width for output
image
[-size-height] - Height for output image.
Width is computed using the
aspect ratio from the window's width and height saved in the scene. <height> - Height for output
image
[-units] - Units for image width/height
Default is PIXELS
<units> - Name of units for image width/height.
Valid units are:
INCHES CENTIMETERS MILLIMETERS METERS PIXELS
[-resolution] - Image resolution (number pixels per size unit)
Default is 300 PIXELS_PER_INCH
<Number of pixels> - number of pixels <Units Name> - Name of resolution units. Valid resolution
unit names
are: PIXELS_PER_INCH PIXELS_PER_CENTIMETER PIXELS_PER_METER PIXELS_PER_MILLIMETER
[-margin] - Add a margin to sides of the image using the window's
background color. <size> - size of margin, in pixels, added to all sides of output image
[-no-scene-colors] - Do not use background and foreground colors in scene
[-set-map-yoke] - Override selected map index for a map yoking group.
<map yoking roman numeral> - Roman numeral identifying the map yoking
group (I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X)
<map undex> - Map index for yoking group.
Indices start at 1 (one)
[-conn-db-login] - Login for scenes with files in Connectome Database.
If this option is not specified, the login and password stored in the user's preferences is used.
<username> - Connectome DB Username <password> - Connectome DB Password
[-show-capture-settings] - Print settings from Capture Dialog only, DO
NOT create image file(s)
[-renderer] - Select renderer for drawing image
<Renderer> - Name of renderer to use for drawing image
Available renderers are (first is default): OSMesa - Mesa3D OSMesa software renderer
[-print-image-info] - Print the size and other information about output
images only and DO NOT create any output images
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Render content of browser windows displayed in a scene into image file(s).
If none of the "-size" options are specified, the default is "-size-window" (Output image is size
of the window that was saved in the scene).
For the "-size" options that accept a width and/or height, the values default to number of pixels.
To express the width and/or height in physical units (inches, centimeters, etc.), use the "-units"
option. When physical units are used, the pixel width and height are derived using the physical
width/height and the image resolution (see the "-resolution" option).
Note that scenes created prior to version 1.2 (May 2016) do not contain information about the size
of the window. Therefore, one must use the "-size-width-height" option.
Examples:
Generate an image of the second scene.
Width and height of image is
width and height of window saved in the scene.
wb_command -scene-capture-image myscene.scene 2 image2.jpg
Generate an image of the second scene with a margin around sides of the image. Width and height of
image is width and height of window saved in the scene.
wb_command -scene-capture-image myscene.scene 2 image2.jpg
-margin 10
Generate an image of the second scene that is 6 inches width with 300 pixels per inch. The
resulting width is 1800 pixels. The resulting height of the image is a function of the width and
the aspect ratio (height divided by width) of the window size saved in the scene.
wb_command -scene-capture-image myscene.scene 2 image21.jpg \ -size-width 6 -units INCHES
-resolution 300 PIXELS_PER_INCH
Print information about the size of the output image for the second scene (no image file is
created) using a width of 4.5 centimeters.
wb_command -scene-capture-image myscene.scene 2 test.jpg \ -size-width 4.5 -units CENTIMETERS
-print-image-info
-scene-file-merge REARRANGE SCENES INTO A NEW FILE
wb_command -scene-file-merge
<scene-file-out> - output - the output scene file
[-scene-file] - repeatable - specify a scene file to use scenes from
<scene-file> - the input scene file
[-scene] - repeatable - specify a scene to use
<scene> - the scene number or name
[-up-to] - use an inclusive range of scenes
<last-column> - the number or name of the last scene to include
[-reverse] - use the range in reverse order
Takes one or more scene files and constructs a new scene file by concatenating specified scenes
from them.
Example: wb_command -scene-file-merge out.scene -scene-file first.scene -scene 1 -scene-file
second.scene
This example would take the first scene from first.scene, followed by all scenes from
second.scene, and write these scenes to out.scene.
-scene-file-relocate RECREATE SCENE FILE IN NEW LOCATION
wb_command -scene-file-relocate
<input-scene> - the scene file to use <output-scene> - output - the new scene file to create
Scene files contain internal relative paths, such that moving or copying a scene file will cause
it to lose track of the files it refers to. This command makes a modified copy of the scene file,
changing the relative paths to refer to the new relative locations of the files.
-scene-file-update UPDATE SCENE FILE
wb_command -scene-file-update
<input-scene-file> - the input scene file <output-scene-file> - the new scene file to create
<scene-name-or-number> - name or number (starting at one) of the scene in
the scene file
[-fix-map-palette-settings] - Fix palette settings for files with change
in number of maps
[-remove-missing-files] - Remove missing files from SpecFile
[-error] - Abort command if there is an error performing any of the
operations on the scene file
[-verbose] - Print names of files that have palettes updated
[-copy-map-one-palette] - repeatable - Copy palettes settings from first
map to all maps in a data file <Data File Name Suffix> - Name of palette mapped data file (cifti,
metric, volume)
[-data-file-add] - repeatable - Add a data file to scene's loaded files
<Name of data file> - Name of data file.
If a data file not in the
current directory, it is best to use an absolute path (a relative path may work). Instead of a
data file, this value may be the name of a text file (must end in ".txt") that contains the names
of one or more data files, one per line.
Example on UNIX to create a text file containing all CIFTI scalar
files in the current directory with absolute paths: ls -d $PWD/*dscalar.nii > file.txt
[-data-file-remove] - repeatable - Remove a data file from scene's loaded
files <Name of data file> - Name of data file. If a data file not in the
current directory, it is best to use an absolute path (a relative path may work). Instead of a
data file, this value may be the name of a text file (must end in ".txt") that contains the names
of one or more data files, one per line.
Example on UNIX to create a text file containing all CIFTI scalar
files in the current directory with absolute paths: ls -d $PWD/*dscalar.nii > file.txt
This command will update a scene for specific changes in data files.
"-fix-map-palette-settings" will find all data files that have had a change in the number of maps
since the scene scene was created. If the file has its "Apply to All Maps" property enabled, the
palette setting in the first map is copied to all maps in the file. Note: This modifies the
palette settings for the file in the scene (data file is NOT modified).
"-copy-map-one-palette" will copy the palette settings from the first map to all other maps in a
data file. This option is typically used when the number of maps in a data file changes. It
changes the palette settings in the scene that are applied to the data file when the scene is
loaded (the data file is not modified). The name of the data file specified on the command line
is matched to the end of file names in the scene. This allows matching multiple files if their
names end with the same characters. It also allows including a relative path when there is more
than one file with the same name but in different paths and only one of the files to be updated.
"-remove-missing-files" Any files that fail to load when the scene is read will be removed from
the scene. Thus, if one deletes files prior to running with this option, the deleted files are
removed from the scene.
"-error" If this option is provided and there is an error while performing any of the scene
operations, the command will immediately cease processing and the output scene file will not be
created. Otherwise any errors will be listed after the command finishes.
-set-map-names SET THE NAME OF ONE OR MORE MAPS IN A FILE
wb_command -set-map-names
<data-file> - the file to set the map names of
[-name-file] - use a text file to replace all map names
<file> - text file containing map names, one per line
[-from-data-file] - use the map names from another data file
<file> - a data file with the same number of maps
[-map] - repeatable - specify a map to set the name of
<index> - the map index to change the name of <new-name> - the name to set for the map
Sets the name of one or more maps for metric, shape, label, volume, cifti scalar or cifti label
files. You must specify either -name-file, or -from-data-file, or at least one -map option. The
three option types are mutually exclusive.
-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
The existing file is modified and rewritten to the same filename.
Valid
values for the structure name are:
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

Valid names for the surface secondary type are:
INVALID GRAY_WHITE MIDTHICKNESS PIAL
-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.
-spec-file-relocate RECREATE SPEC FILE IN NEW LOCATION
wb_command -spec-file-relocate
<input-spec> - the spec file to use <output-spec> - output - the new spec file to create
Spec files contain internal relative paths, such that moving or copying a spec file will cause it
to lose track of the files it refers to. This command makes a modified copy of the spec file,
changing the relative paths to refer to the new relative locations of the 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
[-weight] - specify a weighted average
<weight> - the weight to use (default 1)
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'.
When weights are used, the 3D sample standard deviation treats them as reliability weights.
-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. The input file should only use whitespace to separate coordinates
(spaces, newlines, tabs), for instance:
20 30 25 30 -20 10
-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 volume fraction from pial to
white <placement-metric> - output - output metric
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-curvature CALCULATE CURVATURE OF SURFACE
wb_command -surface-curvature
<surface> - the surface to compute the curvature of
[-mean] - output mean curvature
<mean-out> - output - mean curvature metric
[-gauss] - output gaussian curvature
<gauss-out> - output - gaussian curvature metric
Compute the curvature of the surface, using the method from: Interactive Texture Mapping by J.
Maillot, Yahia, and Verroust, 1993. ACM-0-98791-601-8/93/008
-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 size of the smoothing kernel in mm, as sigma by default
[-fwhm] - kernel size is FWHM, not sigma
[-caret5-method] - use the surface distortion method from caret5
[-edge-method] - calculate distortion of edge lengths rather than areas
[-local-affine-method] - calculate distortion by the local affines
between triangles
[-log2] - apply base-2 log transform
This command, when not using -caret5-method, -edge-method, or -local-affine-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.
When using -local-affine-method, the -smooth option is ignored.
The
output is two columns, the first is the area distortion ratio, and the second is anisotropic
strain. These are calculated by an affine transform between matching triangles, and then averaged
across the triangles of a 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 vertex 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 anatomical surface. In most cases, an iterations-scale of 1.0 (default) is
sufficient. However, if the surface contains a large number of vertices (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
[-corrected-areas] - vertex areas to use instead of computing them from
the surface <area-metric> - the corrected vertex areas, as a metric
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.
The -corrected-areas option should be used when the input is a group average surface - group
average surfaces have significantly less surface area than individual surfaces do, and therefore
distances measured on them would be smaller than measuring them on individual surfaces. In this
case, the input to this option should be a group average of the output of -surface-vertex-areas
for each subject.
If -naive is not specified, the algorithm uses not just immediate neighbors, but also neighbors
derived from crawling across pairs of triangles that share an edge.
-surface-geodesic-distance-all-to-all COMPUTE GEODESIC DISTANCES FROM ALL VERTICES
wb_command -surface-geodesic-distance-all-to-all
<surface> - the surface to compute on <cifti-out> - output - single-hemisphere dconn containing
the distances
[-roi] - only output distances for vertices inside an ROI
<roi-metric> - the ROI as a metric file
[-limit] - stop at a specified distance
<limit-mm> - distance in mm to stop at
[-corrected-areas] - vertex areas to use instead of computing them from
the surface <area-metric> - the corrected vertex areas, as a metric
[-naive] - use only neighbors, don't crawl triangles (not recommended)
Computes geodesic distance from every vertex to every vertex, outputting a single-hemisphere dconn
file. If you are only interested in a few vertices, see -surface-geodesic-distance. When -limit
is specified, any vertex beyond the limit is assigned the value -1.
The -roi option makes the output file smaller by not outputting distances to or from vertices
outside the ROI, but paths are still allowed to go outside the ROI when finding distances to other
vertices.
The -corrected-areas option should be used when the input is a group average surface - group
average surfaces have significantly less surface area than individual surfaces do, and therefore
distances measured on them would be smaller than measuring them on individual surfaces. In this
case, the input to this option should be a group average of the output of -surface-vertex-areas
for each subject.
If -naive is not specified, the algorithm 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
[-corrected-areas] - vertex areas to use instead of computing them from
the surface <area-metric> - the corrected vertex areas, as a metric
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
<Surface File> - Surface for which information is displayed
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
<new-sphere> - a sphere surface that is in register with <current-sphere>
and has the desired output mesh
<method> - the method name <surface-out> - output - the output surface file
[-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
[-bypass-sphere-check] - ADVANCED: allow the current and new 'spheres' to
have arbitrary shape as long as they follow the same contour
Resamples a surface file, given two spherical surfaces that are in register. If ADAP_BARY_AREA is
used, exactly one of -area-surfs or -area-metrics must be specified. This method is not generally
recommended for surface resampling, but is provided for completeness.
The BARYCENTRIC method is generally recommended for anatomical surfaces, 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.
The <method> argument must be one of the following:
ADAP_BARY_AREA BARYCENTRIC
-surface-set-coordinates MODIFY COORDINATES OF A SURFACE
wb_command -surface-set-coordinates
<surface-in> - the surface to use for the topology <coord-metric> - the new coordinates, as a
3-column metric file <surface-out> - output - the new surface
Takes the topology from an existing surface file, and uses values from a metric file as
coordinates to construct a new surface file.
See -surface-coordinates-to-metric for how to get surface coordinates as a metric file, such that
you can then modify them via metric commands, etc.
-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 vertex coordinates with those of the neighboring vertices.
-surface-sphere-project-unproject COPY REGISTRATION DEFORMATIONS TO DIFFERENT SPHERE
wb_command -surface-sphere-project-unproject
<sphere-in> - a 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 desired
output space
<sphere-out> - output - the output sphere
Background: A surface registration starts with an input sphere, and moves its vertices around on
the sphere until it matches the template data. This means that the registration deformation is
actually represented as the difference between two separate files - the starting sphere, and the
registered sphere. Since the starting sphere of the registration may not have vertex
correspondence to any other sphere (often, it is a native sphere), it can be inconvenient to
manipulate or compare these deformations across subjects, etc.
The purpose of this command is to be able to apply these deformations onto a new sphere of the
user's choice, to make it easier to compare or manipulate them. Common uses are to concatenate
two successive separate registrations (e.g. Human to Chimpanzee, and then Chimpanzee to Macaque)
or inversion (for dedrifting or symmetric registration schemes).
<sphere-in> must already be considered to be in alignment with one of the two ends of the
registration (if your registration is Human to Chimpanzee, <sphere-in> must be in register with
either Human or Chimpanzee). The 'project-to' sphere must be the side of the registration that is
aligned with <sphere-in> (if your registration is Human to Chimpanzee, and <sphere-in> is aligned
with Human, then 'project-to' should be the original Human sphere). The 'unproject-from' sphere
must be the remaining sphere of the registration (original vs deformed/registered). The output is
as if you had run the same registration with <sphere-in> as the starting sphere, in the direction
of deforming the 'project-to' sphere to create the 'unproject-from' sphere.
Note that this command cannot check for you what spheres are aligned with other spheres, and using
the wrong spheres or in the incorrect order will not necessarily cause an error message. In some
cases, it may be useful to use a new, arbitrary sphere as the input, which can be created with the
-surface-create-sphere command.
Example 1: You have a Human to Chimpanzee registration, and a Chimpanzee to Macaque registration,
and want to combine them. If you use the Human sphere registered to Chimpanzee as sphere-in, the
Chimpanzee standard sphere as project-to, and the Chimpanzee sphere registered to Macaque as
unproject-from, the output will be the Human sphere in register with the Macaque.
Example 2: You have a Human to Chimpanzee registration, but what you really want is the inverse,
that is, the sphere as if you had run the registration from Chimpanzee to Human. If you use the
Chimpanzee standard sphere as sphere-in, the Human sphere registered to Chimpanzee as project-to,
and the standard Human sphere as unproject-from, the output will be the Chimpanzee sphere in
register with the Human.
Technical details: Each vertex of <sphere-in> is projected to a triangle of <sphere-project-to>,
and its new position is determined by the position of the corresponding triangle in
<sphere-unproject-from>. The output is a sphere with the topology of <sphere-in>, but coordinates
shifted by the deformation from <sphere-project-to> to <sphere-unproject-from>.
<sphere-project-to> and <sphere-unproject-from> must have the same topology as each other, but
<sphere-in> may have any topology.

wb_command -volume-components-to-frames
<input> - the RGB/complex-type volume <output> - output - the input volume converted to multiple

standard subvolumes for better support.
-volume-copy-extensions COPY EXTENDED DATA TO ANOTHER VOLUME FILE
wb_command -volume-copy-extensions
<data-volume> - the volume file containing the voxel data to use <extension-volume> - the volume
file containing the extensions to use <volume-out> - output - the output volume
[-drop-unknown] - don't copy extensions that workbench doesn't understand
This command copies the information in a volume file that isn't a critical part of the standard
header or data matrix, e.g. map names, palette settings, label tables. If -drop-unknown is not
specified, it also copies similar kinds of information set by other software.
-volume-create CREATE A BLANK VOLUME FILE
wb_command -volume-create
<i-dim> - length of first dimension <j-dim> - length of second dimension <k-dim> - length of third
dimension <volume-out> - output - the output volume

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
[-exponent] - use a different exponent in the weighting function
<exponent> - exponent 'n' to use in (1 / (distance ^ n)) as the
weighting function (default 7)
[-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
[-legacy-cutoff] - use the v1.3.2 method of excluding voxels further than
the dilation distance when calculating the dilated value
[-grad-extrapolate] - additionally use the gradient to extrapolate,
intended to be used with WEIGHTED
[-presmooth] - apply presmoothing before computing gradient vectors,
not recommended <kernel> - the size of gaussian smoothing kernel in mm, as sigma by
default
[-fwhm] - kernel size is FWHM, not sigma
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.
To get the behavior of version 1.3.2 or earlier, use '-legacy-cutoff -exponent 2'.
Valid values for <method> are:
NEAREST - use the value from the nearest good voxel WEIGHTED - use a weighted average based on
distance
-volume-distortion CALCULATE VOLUME WARPFIELD DISTORTION
wb_command -volume-distortion
<warpfield> - the warpfield to compute the distortion of <volume-out> - output - the output
distortion measures
[-fnirt] - MUST be used if using a fnirt warpfield
<source-volume> - the source volume used when generating the warpfield
[-circular] - use the circle-based formula for the anisotropic measure
[-log2] - apply base-2 log transform
Calculates isotropic and anisotropic distortions in the volume warpfield. At each voxel, the
gradient of the absolute warpfield is computed to obtain the local affine transforms for each
voxel (jacobian matrices), and strain tensors are derived from them. The isotropic component
(volumetric expansion ratio) is the product of the three principal strains. The default measure
('elongation') for the anisotropic component is the largest principal strain divided by the
smallest.
The -circular option instead calculates the anisotropic component by transforming the principal
strains into log space, considering them as x-values of points on a circle 120 degrees apart,
finds the circle's diameter, and transforms that back to a ratio.
-volume-erode ERODE A VOLUME FILE
wb_command -volume-erode
<volume> - the volume to erode <distance> - distance in mm to erode <volume-out> - output - the
output volume
[-roi] - assume voxels outside this roi are nonzero
<roi-volume> - volume file, positive values denote voxels that have
data
[-subvolume] - select a single subvolume to dilate
<subvol> - the subvolume number or name
Around each voxel with a value of zero, set surrounding voxels to zero. The surrounding voxels
are all face neighbors and all voxels within the specified distance (center to center).
-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
[-whole-file] - estimate for the whole file at once, not each subvolume
separately
[-demean] - subtract the mean image before estimating smoothness
Estimates the smoothness of the input volume in X, Y, and Z directions separately, printing the
estimates to standard output, in mm as FWHM. If -subvolume or -whole-file are 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 size of the gaussian smoothing kernel in mm, as sigma
by default
[-fwhm] - kernel size is FWHM, not sigma
[-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
Finds all face-connected parts that are not included in the ROI, and fills all but the largest one
with ones.
-volume-find-clusters FILTER CLUSTERS BY VOLUME
wb_command -volume-find-clusters
<volume-in> - the input volume <value-threshold> - threshold for data values <minimum-volume> -
threshold for cluster volume, in mm^3 <volume-out> - output - the output volume
[-less-than] - find values less than <value-threshold>, rather than
greater
[-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). Cluster values are not reused across frames of the output, but instead
keep counting up. 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.
-volume-gradient GRADIENT OF A VOLUME FILE
wb_command -volume-gradient
<volume-in> - the input volume <volume-out> - output - the output gradient magnitude volume
[-presmooth] - smooth the volume before computing the gradient
<kernel> - the size of the gaussian smoothing kernel in mm, as sigma
by default

[-subvolume] - select a single subvolume to take the gradient of
<subvol> - the subvolume number or name
Computes the gradient of the volume by doing linear regressions for each voxel, considering only
its face neighbors unless too few face neighbors exist. The gradient vector is constructed from
the partial derivatives of the resulting linear 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.
-volume-label-export-table EXPORT LABEL TABLE FROM VOLUME AS TEXT
wb_command -volume-label-export-table
<label-in> - the input volume label file <map> - the number or name of the label map to use
<table-out> - output - the output text file
Takes the label table from the volume label map, and writes it to a text format matching what is
expected by -volume-label-import.
-volume-label-import IMPORT A LABEL VOLUME TO WORKBENCH FORMAT
wb_command -volume-label-import
<input> - the input volume file <label-list-file> - text file containing the values and names for
labels <output> - output - the output workbench label volume
[-discard-others] - set any voxels with 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)
[-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 label volume from an integer-valued volume file.
The label
name and color information is stored in the volume header in a nifti extension, with a similar
format as in caret5, see -volume-help. You may specify the empty string (use "") for
<label-list-file>, which will be treated as if it is an empty file. The label list file must have
the following format (2 lines per label):
<labelname> <key> <red> <green> <blue> <alpha> ...
Label names are specified on a separate line from their value and color, in order to let label
names contain spaces. Whitespace is trimmed from both ends of the label name, but is kept if it
is in the middle of a label. Do not specify the "unlabeled" key in the file, it is assumed that 0
means not labeled unless -unlabeled-value is specified. The value of <key> specifies what value
in the imported file should be used as this label (these same key values are also used in the
output file). 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 fully opaque, which is
probably what you want).
By default, it will create new label names with names like LABEL_5 for any values encountered that
are not mentioned in the list file, specify -discard-others to instead set these values to the
"unlabeled" key.
-volume-label-modify-keys CHANGE KEY VALUES IN A VOLUME LABEL FILE
wb_command -volume-label-modify-keys
<volume-in> - the input volume label file <remap-file> - text file with old and new key values
<volume-out> - output - the output volume label file
[-subvolume] - select a single subvolume
<subvolume> - the subvolume 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, as it will change the key values in the data at the same
time.
-volume-label-probability FIND FREQUENCY OF VOLUME LABELS
wb_command -volume-label-probability
<label-maps> - volume label file containing individual label maps from
many subjects
<probability-out> - output - the relative frequencies of each label at
each voxel
[-exclude-unlabeled] - don't make a probability map of the unlabeled key
This command outputs a set of soft ROIs, one for each label in the input, where the value is how
many of the input maps had that label at that voxel, divided by the number of input maps.
-volume-label-to-roi MAKE A VOLUME LABEL INTO AN ROI VOLUME
wb_command -volume-label-to-roi
<label-in> - the input volume label file <volume-out> - output - the output volume file
[-name] - select label by name
<label-name> - the label name that you want an roi of
[-key] - select label by key
<label-key> - the label key that you want an roi of
[-map] - select a single label map to use
<map> - the map number or name
For each map in <label-in>, a map is created in <volume-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. Specify -map to use only one map from
<label-in>.
-volume-label-to-surface-mapping MAP A LABEL VOLUME TO A SURFACE LABEL FILE
wb_command -volume-label-to-surface-mapping
<volume> - the volume to map data from <surface> - the surface to map the data onto <label-out> -
output - the output gifti label file
[-ribbon-constrained] - use ribbon constrained mapping algorithm
<inner-surf> - the inner surface of the ribbon <outer-surf> - the outer surface of the ribbon
[-volume-roi] - use a volume roi
<roi-volume> - the volume file
[-voxel-subdiv] - voxel divisions while estimating voxel weights
<subdiv-num> - number of subdivisions, default 3
[-thin-columns] - use non-overlapping polyhedra
[-subvol-select] - select a single subvolume to map
<subvol> - the subvolume number or name
Map label volume data to a surface.
If -ribbon-constrained is not
specified, uses the enclosing voxel method.
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 a
popularity comparison. If -thin-columns is specified, the polyhedron uses the edge midpoints and
triangle centroids, so that neighboring vertices do not have overlapping polyhedra. This may
require increasing -voxel-subdiv to get enough samples in each voxel to reliably land inside these
smaller polyhedra. 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 unexpected unlabeled vertices in your output.
-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

[-fwhm] - smoothing kernel size is FWHM, not sigma
[-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.

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

You
may specify -affine, -warp, and -affine-series multiple times each, and they will be used in the
order specified. For instance, for rigid motion correction followed by nonlinear atlas
registration, specify -affine-series first, then -warp. The recommended methods are CUBIC (cubic
spline) for most data, and ENCLOSING_VOXEL for label data. The parameter <method> must be one of:

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>

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.

match
Writes a copy of the volume file, with the spacing information changed as specified. No
reordering of the voxel data occurs, see -volume-reorient to change the volume indexing order and
reorder the voxels to match. Exactly one of -plumb, -sform, or -file must be specified.
-volume-smoothing SMOOTH A VOLUME FILE
wb_command -volume-smoothing
<volume-in> - the volume to smooth <kernel> - the size of the gaussian smoothing kernel in mm, as
sigma by
default
<volume-out> - output - the output volume
[-fwhm] - kernel size is FWHM, not sigma
[-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.
-volume-stats SPATIAL STATISTICS ON A VOLUME FILE

<volume-in> - the input volume
[-reduce] - use a reduction operation

<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 line of text is printed, resulting from the specified reduction
or percentile operation. Use -subvolume to only give output for a single subvolume. If the -roi
option is used without -match-maps, then each line will contain as many numbers as there are maps
in the ROI file, separated by tab characters. 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 TSNR: mean divided by
sample standard deviation (N-1 denominator) COV: sample standard deviation (N-1 denominator)

like PALM if you are just trying to do statistics on your data.
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 voxel p, where h ranges from 0 to the maximum value in the data, and e(h, p) is the extent
of the cluster containing voxel 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."

[-legacy-bug] - emulate old v1.2.3 and earlier code that didn't follow
a cylinder cutoff
[-subvol-select] - select a single subvolume to map
<subvol> - the subvolume number or name
You must specify exactly one mapping method.
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. If -thin-columns is specified, the polyhedron uses the edge midpoints
and triangle centroids, so that neighboring vertices do not have overlapping polyhedra. This may
require increasing -voxel-subdiv to get enough samples in each voxel to reliably land inside these
smaller polyhedra. 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 -gaussian option makes it act more like the myelin
method, where the distance of a voxel from <surface> is used to downweight the voxel. The
-interpolate suboption, instead of doing a weighted average of voxels, interpolates from the
volume at the subdivided points inside the ribbon. If using both -interpolate and the -weighted
suboption to -volume-roi, the roi volume weights are linearly interpolated, unless the
-interpolate method is ENCLOSING_VOXEL, in which case ENCLOSING_VOXEL is also used for sampling
the roi volume weights.
The myelin style method uses part of the caret5 myelin mapping command to do the mapping: for each
surface vertex, take all voxels that are in a cylinder with radius and height equal to cortical
thickness, centered on the vertex and aligned with the surface normal, and that are also within
the ribbon ROI, and apply a gaussian kernel with the specified sigma to them to get the weights to
use. The -legacy-bug flag reverts to the unintended behavior present from the initial
implementation up to and including v1.2.3, which had only the tangential cutoff and a bounding box
intended to be larger than where the cylinder cutoff should have been.
-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

[-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-affine-regression REGRESS AFFINE FROM WARPFIELD
wb_command -volume-warpfield-affine-regression
<warpfield> - the input warpfield <affine-out> - output - the output affine file
[-roi] - only consider voxels within a mask (e.g., a brain mask)
<roi-vol> - the mask volume
[-fnirt] - input is a fnirt warpfield
<source-volume> - the source volume used when generating the fnirt
warpfield
[-flirt-out] - write output as a flirt matrix rather than a world
coordinate transform <source-volume> - the volume you want to apply the transform to
<target-volume> - the target space you want the transformed volume to
match
For all voxels in the warpfield, do a regression that predicts the post-warp coordinate from the
source coordinate. When -roi is specified, only consider voxels with a value greater than 0 in
<roi-vol>.
The default is to expect the warpfield to be in relative world coordinates (mm space), and to
write the output as a world affine (mm space to mm space). If you are using FSL-created files and
utilities, specify -fnirt and -flirt as needed, as their coordinate conventions are different.

[-percentile] - compute weighted percentile
<percent> - the percentile to find, must be between 0 and 100
[-sum] - compute weighted sum
[-show-map-name] - print map index and name before each output
For each subvolume of the input, a line of text 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. If the -roi option is used without -match-maps, then
each line will contain as many numbers as there are maps in the ROI file, separated by tab
characters. Exactly one of -mean, -stdev, -percentile or -sum must be specified.
Using -sum without -weight-volume is equivalent to integrating with respect to volume.

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.
