Hello!

I get the following warning when I select "wfupickatlas" from the SPM8 drop down toolbox (and it fills the whole Matlab command window!):
However, I just ignore it and proceed to selecting the atlas I want. But once done that (e.g. after sleeking "HUMAN ATLAS"), another warning (similar) message shows: I can still work on the mask and save the file, but I'm not sure if everything is ok… Any help would be much appreciated. I'm using Matlab 8.1 on Mac OS X 10.8.5, WFU Pick Atlas version 3.0.4

Thanks!

Hmm.  Interesting problem.  Without starting SPM, could you please change to the directory where you install the PickAtlas and type wfu_pickatlas.  Do you get the same error?  If so, what is the output of the following commands:

which('spm')
which('wfu_pickatlas')

Hi Ben,

I get similar warning:
Warning: popupmenu control requires a non-empty String
Control will not be rendered until all of its parameter values are valid
> In movegui at 114
In openfig at 109
In wfu_pickatlas at 27

Here is what I get:
EDU>> which('spm')
/Applications/IMAGING_TOOLS/spm8/spm.m
Warning: popupmenu control requires a non-empty String
Control will not be rendered until all of its parameter values are valid
Warning: popupmenu control requires a non-empty String

EDU>> which('wfu_pickatlas')
/Applications/IMAGING_TOOLS/spm8/toolbox/wfu_pickatlas/wfu_pickatlas.m
Warning: popupmenu control requires a non-empty String
Control will not be rendered until all of its parameter values are valid

Hi Jeni,
  I'm at a loss as to why this would be happening.  Do you have the following files:

/Applications/IMAGING_TOOLS/spm8/toolbox/wfu_pickatlas/atlas_type.txt
/Applications/IMAGING_TOOLS/spm8/toolbox/wfu_pickatlas/MNI_atlas_templates/master_lookup.txt

Have you tried starting the PickAtlas from a clean (restarted) Matlab session?  "cd /Applications/IMAGING_TOOLS/spm8/toolbox/wfu_pickatlas/" then wfu_pickatlas?

Ben

Hi Ben,

Yes, those files are within the wfu_pickatlas folder/subfolder. I tried with a new Matlab session and the same thing happens...

I also tried it on a different computer (MacOSX 10.6.8, Matlab version R2010b), and I get the same warning messages. Tried all your suggestions on this 2nd computer and nothing works either. Could it be MacOSX-related??

Hi Jeni,
  I'm not aware of any problems running the PickAtlas on MAC.  There have been the occasional issue of compiled mex routines, but nothing of this sort.  I wonder if the binary files were corrupted somehow.  Please download the FIG file attached and place in the wfu_pickatlas directory.  I'll attach wfu_pickatlas.fig to this message.  It looks like I can only attach one file at a time so I'll include wfu_pickatlastype.fig in the next reply.

Ben

And here is wfu_pickatlastype

Thanks Ben.

I updated these files but the problem still remains. Oh, I guess I'll just have to live with it. Thanks for your help regardless!

cheers,

Jeni
