_Edge¶

class singlecell_input_mapper.udvary2022.reader._Edge¶

Bases: object

Convenience class for NEURON segments.

Private class used in read_hoc_file() to store information about a single morphological segment spanning from point to point. These edges are loosely similar to NEURON segments if full segmentation is used, but should not be used as API to neuron segments.

The purpose of this class is for private use in reading in hoc files: it should not be invoked directly.

See also

singlecell_input_mapper.singlecell_input_mapper.reader._Edge for a similar class that is used in the singlecell_input_mapper module.

hocLabel¶

Hoc label of the segment (e.g. “Soma”, “Axon” …).
