Ahoi hoi folks, I'm having the same problem as well, however within a `docker` container and using `neurodocker` based on the current `main branch`. I need to run `source /opt/freesurfer-6.0.0/SetUpFreeSurfer.sh`...

Ahoi hoi folks, sorry for the late reply. In my case, there were a lot of cross-dependencies, etc. wrt `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` et al., as well as `exclude pattern` issues.... IIRC, I...

That might be a `matplotlib` thingy. I had the same problem recently and solved it by downgrading `matplotlib` to `3.0.3` I think.

pinging @binarybottle to ask about current status: should I try to implement a corresponding fix?

@satra, on it! I'll try both (nilearn-matplotlib and niwidgets) [here](https://github.com/PeerHerholz/mindboggle/tree/surf_plots).

quick update re nilearn: there will be a fix in the next release of [nilearn](https://github.com/nilearn/nilearn/pull/2070) and [nistats](https://github.com/nistats/nistats/issues/358) as mentioned by this [neurostars post](https://neurostars.org/t/plot-surface-error-it-is-not-currently-possible-to-manually-set-the-aspect-on-3d-axes/4852). As the problem is not related to...

Downgrading `matplotlib` to `3.0.3` solves it and both, the static (`plot_surf`) and interactive plot (`view_surf`) are working:  ![Screen Shot 2019-10-16 at 10...

Re `niwidgets`: not sure about it, that is if what I did makes sense. I had to put the extracted values (e.g. depths) into a `.gii` as `niwidgets` requires that....

@binarybottle should we go with the `nilearn` version first, till I figure out the `niwidgets` part completely?

@satra, yes. That's related to the examples and question I posted [a bit further up](https://github.com/nipy/mindboggle/issues/177#issuecomment-542738299). The example is based on depth values and the plotting seems to work (higher depth...
