Skeleton Length

Description

Calculates the branch length of the topological skeleton and the average branch length per node.

Usage

skelLength(skel)

Arguments

skel	topological skeleton, output of readAmiraSkeleton

Value

edgeL	a vector of branch lengths, of length equal to the number of branches in the topological skeleton.
nodeL	a vector of average branch length per node, of length equal to the number of nodes in the topological skeleton.
