Quick Start

TkSurfer can be started in any of three ways: launching it from FreeSurfer with the Surface button, using the tksurfer-sess script, and calling it from the command line. Depending on which method you use, you may see different types of data loaded, but all methods require a surface data set to be loaded. Other types of data can be loaded from the File menu.

To explore your data, you can move the mouse over the picture of the surface (the Display Window) and see information about the area under the mouse in the window on the bottom (under the Mouse section of the TkSurfer Tools Window). You can change the view with the navigation buttons (under the toolbar, with icons of various arrows). To save pictures of your data, go to the Tools menu and select the Save RGB As... item near the bottom.

By default, TkSurfer does not redraw the display window unless you perform a command that changes the view. This means that if another window obscures the display window and then is moved, the display window will not automatically update. This because of the time it takes to redraw an average surface. To explicitly redraw the view, just click on the Redraw button.
