conversion problem, layout

[Olga Sysoeva]

Dear Robert,

Yes, my problem appeared to be fixed in the last updated version of
Fieldtrip.
Now I can topoplot the data, but it seems to work wrong to me. All my
electrodes appeared to be in the middle of the plotted head (shrinked
compared to the head size). What can it be?

Best Regards,
Olga.
