Hi Emma
Narayan and Arjen already pointed you in the appropriate direction. Just to clarify their emails, FieldTrip uses a layout structure for 2-D plotting of data, and the electrode structure for a 3-D representation. The electrode structure can be converted to a 2-D layout, but can also be used for source reconstruction, for which the layout is useless.
Please see
http://fieldtrip.fcdonders.nl/faq/what_is_the_format_of_the_layout_file_which_is_used_for_plotting
http://fieldtrip.fcdonders.nl/faq/how_are_electrodes_magnetometers_or_gradiometers_described
and pointers to other documentation therein.
Also these new pages
http://fieldtrip.fcdonders.nl/template/electrode
http://fieldtrip.fcdonders.nl/template/layout
might help.
best
Robert
