[FieldTrip] Fwd: Coordsys issue ft_sourceplot

Dear Andreas,

I managed to get the AAL atlas labels on ortho-plots by adding the same
"coordsys" subfield in both atlas and data files (plus cfg.atlas). I use
coordsys = 'spm' even though everything is "mni", I reckon doesn't matter
as long as both files share the same "coordsys". Maybe there's a more
elegant way to do it but that worked fine for me.

atlas                                 = ft_read_atlas(paths_to_AAL_atlas);
% read aal atlas
atlas.coordsys                   = 'spm';
interpolated_data.coordsys = 'spm';
cfg_plot                             = [];
cfg_plot.method                 = 'ortho';
cfg_plot.funparameter         = 'pow';
cfg_plot.atlas                     = atlas;
ft_sourceplot(cfg_plot,interpolated_data);

Hope it helps
Marc
