smooth_neuron: Smooth the 3D coordinates of a neuron skeleton

Description

smooth_neuron smooths a neuron.

Usage

smooth_neuron(n, method = c("gauss", "spline"), ...)

smooth_segment_gauss(xyz, sigma, ...)

Value

A new neuron with smoothed 3d coordinates

Arguments

n

Neuron to smooth

method

Smoothing method

...

Additional parameters passed to segment smoothing functions

xyz

A block of 3D coordinates defining an unbranched segment

sigma

The standard deviation of the Gaussian smoothing kernel (which has the same spatial units as the object being smoothed)

Examples

Run this code
ns=smooth_neuron(Cell07PNs[[1]], sigma=2)
# plot in 2D zooming in on axon terminals 
plot(Cell07PNs[[1]], col='grey', xlim=c(260,290), ylim=c(115,90))
plot(ns, col='red', add=TRUE)
# \donttest{
# 3D plot
plot3d(Cell07PNs[[1]], col='grey')
plot3d(ns, col='red')
# }
