[FieldTrip] Problem plotting independent components

Dear JM and Jörn,

Thank you so much for your helpful suggestions. Matlab could not find/open
layout file: *NM306.lay* with both *ft_topoplotTFR* and* ft_topoplotIC*. I
have also tried each of the following layouts without success:

cfg.layout    =3D data.grad;
cfg.layout    =3D 'neuromag306all.lay';
cfg.layout    =3D 'neuromag306cmb.lay';
cfg.layout    =3D 'neuromag306mag.lay';
cfg.layout    =3D 'neuromag306planar.lay';
(and no layout cfg, as prescribed by the bottom of
http://fieldtrip.fcdonders.nl/reference/ft_topoplotic)


As Jörn mentioned, the IC and sensor labels are different and,
therefore, doing a string comparison will return an error. The question is
then, how can I project the ICs back into sensor space and plot them
topographically using the pre-existing sensor layouts? If this accomplished
by the *ft_topoplotIC* function, shouldn't it expect the IC labels to be
different from the layout labels?

Thanks again for all of your help!

Cheers,
Dave Deriso
