In AlessioVeneziano/IndianaBones: Analysis of bone 3D morphology

Read topological skeleton

Description

Read topological skeleton file exported from the Amira/Avizo software in ASCII format.

Usage

readAmiraSkeleton(path, removeLoops = T, removeConn = F, maxConn = 10)

Arguments

path	path of the topological skeleton file (exported from Amira/Avizo in ASCII format)
removeLoops	logical: if TRUE, loop skeleton branches (same initial and ending node) are removed
removeConn	logical: if TRUE, removes the nodes (and linked branches) connected to more than maxConn branches
maxConn	maximum number of branches connected to each node; ignored if removeConn = FALSE

Value

A list including: node coordinates (VertexCoordinates), branch coordinates (EdgePointsCoordinates), node-to-node connectivity (EdgeConnectivity), number of 3D points constituting each branch (NumEdgePoints) and thickness at each branch point (Thickness).
