We may wish to find the distance between two points on the cortical surface. The AFNI program to do this is SurfDist, e.g.

 echo 500 1000 > test.1D
 SurfDist -i lh.inflated.asc -input test.1D

Gives the result

 Note SUMA_LoadNimlDset: ./test.1D has no element and no group. 
 Perhaps it is a .1D read in as a niml dset.
 #Internodal distance along graph of surface lh.inflated.asc
 #A distance of -1 indicates an error of sorts.
 #From   to     Dist. 
 500    1000   26.91

In SUMA, we may open the same surface, open a surface controller, and type the node number into the node window to see the node on the surface. This also gives the x,y,z, co-ordinate. e.g. for nodes 1000 and 500

 26.8501, -134.36, -61.247
