is_back_tracking
(neurite)[source]¶ Check if a neurite process backtracks to a previous node. Back-tracking takes place when a daughter of a branching process goes back and either overlaps with a previous point, or lies inside the cylindrical volume of the latter.
Parameters: neurite (Neurite) – neurite to operate on Returns: - A segment endpoint falls back and overlaps with a previous segment’s point
- The geometry of a segment overlaps with a previous one in the section
Return type: True Under the following scenaria
