Overview



Format specification   

The format specification is not available online, therefore the information presented here is derived from publicly available data, and may not be complete.

Encoding:  ASCII text
Limitations: Point/Cylinder soma. No markers. No spines.

The first line is the integer number of total sample points

Other non-empty lines each represent a single neuron sample point with seven data items (separated by whitespace).

	1	2	3	4	5	6	7
data type	Sample number	Parent Sample	x position	y position	z position	length	diameter
data value	contiguous, starting from '0'	Sample 0, representing the soma, has parent -1.  Tree root sample have parent 0.	'x', 'y', 'z' are spatial co-ordinates, given in micrometers. 'length' is the scalar distance between this point and its parent. 'diameter' is dendrite thickness, also given in micrometers. In the case of the first point,it repesent a cylinder of dimensions length x diameter.
