Dear Paul, > I have a simple contrast question. I have a paradigm wiht 3 conditions > (a, b, ab). If I set a contrast of -1 -1 1 does this show me the areas > where ab>a+b? If not what does this contrast represent? The contrast [-1 -1 2] would show you, where ab>a+b, i.e. where ab has a larger effect than the averaged effect due to a and b. > > I also have a programing question.

It involves some typing: 1. Change line 213 in spm_graph.m from Ic = spm_input('Which contrast?','!+1','m',{xCon.name}); to Ic = spm_input('Which contrast?','+1','m',{xCon.name}); 2. Before plotting type in the matlab window global CMDLINE CMDLINE = 1 The first action makes sure that you can get into command line mode and the second actually activates the command line mode.
