Thanks / warning in ft_topoplotER

Dear Roemer, dear Jan-Mathijs,

Thanks for your quick answers! Sorry for getting back so late.

Dear Jan-Mathijs, thanks for the comment on the symbolic links. My
colleagues and I, as well as other BESA users, use Windows at work so it
would be nice to get news on your proposed OS-independent solution.

Dear Roemer, yes, I was referring to ft_topoplotER. I forgot to mention this
although I was aware of the fact. Thanks for the explanations!

I am a bit confused because I still end up with the same warning (line 214
of ft_topoplotER) even if I use
cfg.highlightchannel  = 'all'; (or a numerical index vector)
cfg.highlight = 'on';

I used the same setting (with different data) for both ft_topoplotTFR and
ft_clusterplot. Both call topoplotER, although the call looks a bit
different.
There is no problem in the case of ft_topoplotTFR. If I modify
cfg.highlightchannel, I see a change.
When using ft_clusterplot with this same setting, the significant channels
appear to be highlighted but I observe no change upon modification of
cfg.highlightchannel, and I get the warning in ft_topoplotER (line 214).
On debugging, I see that the lines below l.606 in ft_topoplotER
("if ~strcmp(cfg.marker,'off')") are carried out only in my call of
ft_topoplotTFR.

Have I done anything wrong, or are the settings treated differently by both
routines?

Have a nice evening! And thanks a lot to both of you!
All the best
Andrea
