neurom.analysis.morphtree.principal_direction_extent(tree)

Calculate the extent of a tree, that is the maximum distance between

the projections on the principal directions of the covariance matrix of the x,y,z points of the nodes of the tree.

Input:

tree : a tree object

Returns:the extents for each of the eigenvectors of the cov matrix eigs : eigenvalues of the covariance matrix eigv : respective eigenvectors of the covariance matrix Return type:extents
