PyNCulture

Python module to describe neuronal cultures as complex shapes.

Principle

This module uses the shapely library to provide an easy way of describing the boudaries of a neuronal culture and to generate neurons inside this environment.

The package requires:

• shapely
• numpy
• svg.path to load from SVG files
• dxfgrabber to load from DXF files

Except for shapely, all other modules can be installed through pip.

Features

• Load objects from SVG files
• Load objects from DXF files (experimental)
• Generate neurons randomly inside the culture.

Examples

You can see the examples folder to test culture generation from files. The matplotlib and the descartes packages are required to plot the shapes.
