neat.MorphTree.color_x_axis

MorphTree.color_x_axis(ax, cmap, add_scalebar=1)[source]

Color the x-axis of a plot according to the morphology.

!!! Has to be called after all lines are plotted !!!

Furthermor, node colors have to be set first. This can be done with MorphTree.set_node_colors() or manually by adding a ‘color’ entry to the MorphNode.content dictionary

Parameters:

  • ax (matplotlib.axes.Axes instance) – the ax object of which the x-axis will be colored

  • cmap (matplotlib.colors.Colormap instance) – Colormap that determines the color of each branch

  • sizex (float) – Size of scalebar (in micron). If set to None, no scalebar is plotted.
