summary.neuronlist computes tree statistics for all the neurons in a neuronlist object

summary.neuron computes statistics for individual neurons

summary.mesh3d computes statistics including face numbers and surface area for meshes. See vcgArea for details of area calculation.

summary.dotprops computes statistics for individual neurons in dotprops format. Note the veclength argument.

# S3 method for neuronlist
summary(object, ..., include.attached.dataframe = FALSE)

# S3 method for neuron
summary(object, ...)

# S3 method for mesh3d
summary(object, ...)

# S3 method for dotprops
summary(object, veclength = 1, ...)

Arguments

object

The neuron or neuronlist to summarise

...

For summary.neuronlist additional arguments passed on to summary methods for individual neurons

include.attached.dataframe

Whether to include the neuronlists attached metadata in the returned data.frame.

veclength

The vector length to assume for each segment so that a cable length estimate can be made.

Value

A data.frame summarising the tree properties of the neuron with columns

  • root

  • nodes

  • segments

  • branchpoints

  • endpoints

  • cable.length

  • nTrees
