Parameters
labelslist with instances of mne.Label

The labels to create a parcellation from.

subjectstr | None

The subject for which to write the parcellation.

parcstr | None

overwritebool

Overwrite files if they already exist.

subjects_dirstr | None

The path to the FreeSurfer subjects reconstructions. It corresponds to FreeSurfer environment variable SUBJECTS_DIR.

annot_fnamestr | None

Filename of the .annot file. If not None, only this file is written and ‘parc’ and ‘subject’ are ignored.

colormapstr

Colormap to use to generate label colors for labels that do not have a color specified.

hemi‘both’ | ‘lh’ | ‘rh’

The hemisphere(s) for which to write *.annot files (only applies if annot_fname is not specified; default is ‘both’).

sortbool

If True (default), labels will be sorted by name before writing.

table_namestr

The table name to use for the colortable.

verbosebool, str, int, or None

If not None, override default verbose level (see mne.verbose() and Logging documentation for more). If used, it should be passed as a keyword-argument only.

Notes

Vertices that are not covered by any of the labels are assigned to a label named “unknown”.
