Dendrograms are schematic representations of neuron morphologies.

Example:

>>> d = Dendrogram(cell)
>>> ax = d.plot()
>>> ax.set_xlabel('Distance from soma ($\mu m$)')

Parameters:¶

cell : Cell¶

The cell object.

Attributes:¶

cell¶

The cell object.

Type:¶

Cell

dendrogram_db¶

A list of _DendrogramSection objects.

Type:¶

list

dendrogram_db_by_name¶

A dictionary of dendrogram sections by name.

Type:¶

dict

dendrogram_db_by_sec_id¶

A dictionary of dendrogram sections by section ID.

Type:¶

dict

main_bifur_dist¶

The distance to the main bifurcation, in \(\mu m\).

Type:¶

float

Methods:¶

plot(ax)	Plot the dendrogram.
get_parent_by_name(name)	Get the parent of a dendrogram section by its name.
_plot_dendrogram(ax, colormap)	Plot the dendogram on an axes object.
