the swick docs ============== Do you work with SWC files? --------------------------- If you do, you've probably found that even simple tasks—finding a disconnected node, adjusting positions, combining structures—can become a slog. The goal of ``swick`` is to simplify these tasks and make working with SWC files downright fun. Never heard of them? -------------------- The SWC format is a popular way to represent neuron structures. It essentially defines a list of nodes, each with a three-dimensional position, size, type, and at most one parent node. If you'd like to learn more about the format itself, `NeuronLand's specification `_ is a great place to start. You can also find hundreds of thousands of publicly available reconstructions on `NeuroMorpho.org `_. Let's get started. ------------------ To install ``swick``, you'll first need `Python `_ installed and available. Once you have Python ready, head on over to the :doc:`user_guide/index` to get started.
