Hi everybody

I am encountering a problem when plotting EEG electrodes and their position  
in the mne\_analyze viewer. After loading my fif, event and COR file into  
mne\_analyze I get the following output by the viewer ("EEG Electrodes" and  
"Digitizer data" flags activated):

The digitizer points locations (red) are ok but the electrode positions on  
the skin (grey) are misplaced (i.e. see eye region). What am I doing wrong?  
Please note that I created the fiff file from scratch (using the mne-cpp  
library) and filled it with EEG data only.

Greetings and many thanks

Lorenz
