Editing varicosities (3D)

Before you start

Because varicosities are always associated with trees, you must trace the trees associated with the varicosities of interest before .

Varicosities placed manually in 2D are represented with 2D markers in the 3D window.

Varicosities can be analyzed in Neurolucida Explorer using the Varicosities analysis in the Branched Structure group of analyses.

See Edit Varicosities Panel (3D)

Editing varicosities

• Click the Varicosities button in the 3D visualization window.
• If varicosities are associated with a single color-channel (that is, if a color channel was selected prior to tracing or detecting the varicosities), select that color channel to edit varicosities. Select the color channel in either the Channel panel in the 3D environment or in the Image Adjustment tool in the main window (2D).
• To see all the editing options, select one or more varicosities.

Selecting varicosities

• Click Select All
• Click a varicosity or hold control and click multiple varicosities
• Hold the Ctrl key on your keyboard and drag a marquee to select varicosities inside the marquee.
