this repository houses some filament tracing metric computations. It includes (initially) two modules swc_utils.py and swc_utils_parallel.py, which perform the exact same tasks with the difference that the latter uses python's multiprocessing library and computes metrics a bit faster than the the first module.
dependencies: numpy, time, functols, multiprocessing
example calls: using default tolerance dx, dy, dz = [3.0,3.0,3.0] and computing all metrics
python3 swc_utils_parallel.py -f 'OP_1_app1_fixed.swc' -g 'OP_1.swc'
using specific tolerance and computing specific metric
python3 swc_utils_parallel.py -f 'OP_1_app1_fixed.swc' -g 'OP_1.swc' -tol 2.5 2.5 3 -m 'precision'
