I previously converted a niml.roi to a 1d.dset.


I now can't find my original niml.roi file and want to use the 1D.dset with maskdump and a surface dataset with a full node list. Maskdump requires an equal number of entries in the mask and functional data.

I figured the easiest way to do this was to convert my 1D.dset to a full node list using convertdset. This is the command I tried:

ConvertDset -o_TYPE 1D -input allparietal-rh.1D.dset -prefix allparietal_all-rh.1D.dset -pad_to_node 124624

First, I got an error which said:

Error ConvertDset: Option -o_type not understood. Try -help for usage

But in reading the help that seemed to be the correct flag. But it also said that if no output type is given, and no extention is specified with the prefix, the output type will be the same. So I tried:

ConvertDset -input allparietal-rh.1D.dset -prefix allparietal_all-rh -pad_to_node 124624


and got the following error:

Error SUMA_PaddedCopyofDset:
No node index element!
-- Error ConvertDset (SUMA_ConvertDset.c:455):
NULL dset
-- Error SUMA_WriteDset_eng (SUMA_DataSets.c:76):
NULL dset
-- Error ConvertDset (SUMA_ConvertDset.c:472):
Failed to write dataset.


Am I missing something?

Thanks!
