Examples

#morphomap on a human femur bone
data(HomFem38023)
meshes<-morphomapSegm(HomFem38023, param1=4)
perMesh<-meshes$external
endMesh<-meshes$internal
mech_length<-380.23

                           inn.sur=endMesh,num.sect=61,mech.len = mech_length, 
                           start = 0.2,end=0.8)
