pysted.utils.generate_fiber_with_synapses

pysted.utils.generate_fiber_with_synapses(datamap_shape, fibre_min, fibre_max, n_synapses, min_dist, polygon_scale=(5, 10))

This func allows a user to generate a fiber object and synapses attached to it.

Parameters:

  • datamap_shape – shape of the image to which we will add the fiber and synapses

  • fibre_min – min position for the fibre to start at

  • fibre_max – max position for the fibre to start at

  • n_synapses – number of synapses to put on the fiber

  • min_dist – min distance we want to have between the synapses. this is to make sure we don’t have overlapping synapses

  • polygon_scale – values from which the polygon size will be sampled

Returns:

the fiber object and the polygon objects representing the synapses
