Module: Channel Network measure

Description:

Computes various quantities associated to the channels, like width, length, etc.

Example on the network shown above, the result is a table with different measures in the columns. The resulting spreadsheet contains one table named Channels, which contains the following rows:

(X,Y,Z): Coordinates of the channel centre, defines as the middle point, i.e. if the channel is a point list of size nPoints, then it is the coordinate of point ceil(nPoints/2).
Points: The previously mentioned nPoints.
Length: Channel length, defined as the sum of the distances from point to point.
Connections: Total number of other channels in contact with this one.
(DirX, DirY, DirZ): Global direction of the channel.
(Cnx E0, Cnx E1): Number of connections for each endpoint.
Width mean: The average of the values associated to each channel point.
Width stddev: The population standard deviation of these values.
Width min: The minimum.
Width max: The maximum.
Width median: The median.

Notes

Table rows start at 1, but internally, channel index starts at 0. So if you're using Channel_Network_To_Lines to display only one channel, say the one at row i in the table, it will be number i-1 in the mentioned module.

Connections:

Channel_Network

[required]
The input channel network, of type HxChannelNetwork.

Ports:

Measure

Push the button to start the computation.

Commands:

Additional options can be accessed when typing in the console Channel_Network_Measure COMMAND_NAME. Typing the command again usually reverts back to original settings.

`verbose`

Displays timing and other information after the computation. Retype to hide info.

`create`

Runs the computation. Returns the name of the output, so it can be used in a script, such as set RESULT [Channel_Network_Measure create].
