pysted.utils.generate_secondary_fibers

pysted.utils.generate_secondary_fibers(datamap_shape, main_fiber, n_sec, min_dist=10, sec_len=(2, 6), seed=None)

This function allows to spawn secondary fibers branching from a main fiber

Parameters:

• datamap_shape – The shape of the datamap in which the main fiber resides

• main_fiber – The main fiber object to which we will add secondary fiber branches

• n_sec – The interval for the number of secondary branches we wish to spawn (tuple)

• min_dist – The min distance between spawned secondary fiber, to ensure they are not all clumped

• sec_len – The interval for the length of the secondary fibers (tuple)

• seed – Random number generator seed

Returns:

a list containing the secondary fiber objects
