Workbench Command is a set of command-line tools that can be used to perform simple and complex operations within Connectome Workbench.
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
