Wraps command **ExtractSkeleton **

title: Extract Skeleton

category: Filtering

description: Extract the skeleton of a binary object. The skeleton can be limited to being a 1D curve or allowed to be a full 2D manifold. The branches of the skeleton can be pruned so that only the maximal center skeleton is returned.

Inputs:

[Mandatory]

[Optional]
InputImageFileName: (an existing file name)
        Input image
        flag: %s, position: -2
OutputImageFileName: (a boolean or a file name)
        Skeleton of the input image
        flag: %s, position: -1
args: (a unicode string)
        Additional parameters to the command
        flag: %s
dontPrune: (a boolean)
        Return the full skeleton, not just the maximal skeleton
        flag: --dontPrune
environ: (a dictionary with keys which are a newbytes or None or a
         newstr or None and with values which are a newbytes or None or a
         newstr or None, nipype default value: {})
        Environment variables
ignore_exception: (a boolean, nipype default value: False)
        Print an error message instead of throwing an exception in case the
        interface fails to run
numPoints: (an integer (int or long))
        Number of points used to represent the skeleton
        flag: --numPoints %d
pointsFile: (a unicode string)
        Name of the file to store the coordinates of the central (1D)
        skeleton points
        flag: --pointsFile %s
terminal_output: (u'stream' or u'allatonce' or u'file' or u'none')
        Control terminal output: `stream` - displays to terminal immediately
        (default), `allatonce` - waits till command is finished to display
        output, `file` - writes output to file, `none` - output is ignored
type: ('1D' or '2D')
        Type of skeleton to create
        flag: --type %s

Outputs:

OutputImageFileName: (an existing file name)
        Skeleton of the input image
