The LNeuron executable v. 1.07: LNeuron

The .prm input file using the unedited extracted data: unedited.prm

The .prm input file disregarding negative taper values and PK max set at 2: edited.prm

See glossary for descriptions of the parameters used in these files.

Dos batch file used to create and rename cells with sequential random seeds: doswc.bat

Syntax: doswc <.prm input file name without extension> <output file name without extension>

<number of neurons desired> <number of neurons desired> <1>

For example to get 50 cells (seeds 1-50): doswc edited output 50 50 1

This is a beta version, the most recent version can be found at: http://www.krasnow.gmu.edu/L-Neuron/

Syntax and switches:

LNEURON.EXE <options> <input file name>

none (default) output Lviewer VOL file To view vol files use the Lviewer.exe located at: http://www.xs4all.nl/~ljlapre/lparser4.zip

-v output POV object file

-b output POV blob file

-B output multiple POV blob files

-c output inc files instead of pov files

-d output polyface meshes DXF file

-3 output 3dfaces DXF file

-R output triangles in RAW file

-O output Blob Sculptor BLB file

-V output VRML world file

-X [name] use name.vol as base element

-i link base elements together

-S [num] set string size to num Kbytes

-t [num] set minimum thickness

-r [num] overrule recursion depth

-a [num] overrule angle

-u [num] mutate [num] times

-l show final L-string

-g add ground plane

-L [num] set amount for ~ command

-P [num] set amount for t command

-p [num] limit polygons to [num]

-M use Burke-Marks algorithm

-H use Hillman algorithm

-Y use Tamori algorithm

-e extend also with Hillman and Tamori algorithm

-T output in Southampton Archive format

-G output in GENESIS format

-N output in NEURON format

-m [name] morphometric measurement of a Southampton Archive file

-2 use Burke's model 2 algorithm

-D use generic developer algorithm

-s [num] set random number generator seed to num

All examples in this chapter were created using the H, -T, and s switches. The included batch file also runs LNeuron using these switches.
