Node

class swick.Node(type: int, x: float, y: float, z: float, radius: float, parent_id: int)

Bases: object

A single node in an SWC structure, which is represented by a single line in the .swc file.

Parameters:

• type – an enumeration describing the structure being represented by the node

• x – the x component of the node’s 3D position

• y – the y component of the node’s 3D position

• z – the z component of the node’s 3D position

• radius – the radius of the sphere used to represent the volume of the node

• parent_id – the unique ID of another node that is the “parent” of this node: a connected node that is one step closer to the root node of the tree (a root node has no parent and will use a value -1 for this field)
