Morphology Plot

This widget is a histogram based analysis tool which provides information on nodes with a similar distance to a reference location, which can be a specified in the user interface. Example choices are the root node or the average node position. Around this center, spheres are formed with an increasing radius that can be defined by the user and defaults to 1000nm per step. All nodes within the part of a sphere that doesn\'t overlap with the last smaller sphere is treated as one bin of a histogram. This is shown for three bins in 2D below:

1 2 3

Which nodes are part of which bin depends heavily on the morphology of a neuron. The widget allows then to compute various metrics on those bins:

The plot itself shows the distance from the selected center on the X axis and the bin value (e.g. the number of end nodes) is shown on the Y axis.
