Borders
The Borders Tab in the Features Toolbox
contains options for display and selection of loaded and newly
created borders on brain surfaces.
- Display
Borders toggles border display on and off. When
Border Mode
is turned on, Display Borders is turned on by default.
- Group: identifies the Border group for the Active
Tab. Tabs assigned to the same Group will display the same
borders with the same attributes.
- Borders
Attributes contains options for viewing borders.
- Contralateral check box toggles on display of borders
that are currently being displayed on one hemisphere to be
displayed on the contralateral hemisphere (on top of that
hemisphere's own displayed borders, if any).
- Draw As sets the shape of the border
components (Lines, Spheres, Squares, Spheres and Lines).
- Coloring sets the Class, Name, or Standard Color as
the border color source.
- Standard Color Selects the color when Coloring is set to Standard
Color.
- Line Diameter controls the border thickness
if line is selected as the border component.
- Symbol Diameter controls the size of the
sphere or square symbol border components.
- Unstretched Lines is used to correctly display a
border from a 3D surface on a flat surface when the border
crosses a surface cut from flattening. The distance
indicates the limit for how much a border can be stretched
across a cut surface before it is NOT displayed.
Specifically, if the value of [(length of border on flat
surface) / (length of border of 3d volume-interaction
surface)] exceeds the Unstretched
Lines value then the border is NOT displayed.
- Above Offset is
used to move the borders above the surface with a positive
value

- Borders
Selection controls group and individual display
selection for borders. If a higher level
group is selected on or off, all borders below that level will
be similarly selected on/off. The All On/Off buttons allow for
quick toggling of all borders on or off.
