topostats.tracing.skeletonize.get_skeleton(image: numpy.ndarray, method: str) → numpy.ndarray[source]#

Factory method for skeletonizing molecules.

Parameters:

  • image (np.ndarray) – Image of molecule to be skeletonized.

  • method (str) – Method to use, default is ‘zhang’ other options are ‘lee’, and ‘thin’.

Returns:

Skeletonised version of the image.all($0)

Return type:

np.ndarray
