neurom.core._soma.SomaCylinders

class neurom.core._soma.SomaCylinders(points)

Bases: neurom.core._soma.Soma

Soma composed of cylinders (like in SWC)

points describe the locations of the cylinder start/end points, with their respective radii, much like how neurites are described:

ex:

             /)
            / o)
    ______ /  )
(|)      ) / /
( o )    o )/
(|)_____ )

Here we have a ‘side-view’, with each ‘o’ representing a point, and the radius is the heigh of a ‘|’ character, and the ‘)’ try and show the curvature of the cylinger

Note: when, as in the case above, the cylinder center points don’t lie in a line, then the overlap between cylinders isn’t taken into account for the area calculation

Methods

__init__	x.__init__(…) initializes x; see help(type(x)) for signature
iter	Iterator to soma contents

Attributes

center	Obtain the center from the first stored point
points	Get the set of (x, y, z, r) points this soma
