write neurons out in a directory hierarchy suitable for Amira

Note that this function only works for neuron (rather than dotprops) objects and is limited to a single level directory hierarchy to organise the neurons.

write_neurons_for_amira(nl, rdir, score = 4, ...)

Arguments

nl	a neuron list containing traced neurons
rdir	The root directory of the project
score	Default integer score for each neuron, or a function to be applied to the path of each output neuron file which returns integer scores. See details.
...	Additional arguments for write.neurons and eventually write.neuron

Value

Path to the master script object to open in Amira

Details

The score of a neuron was traditionally used to limit which neurons were displayed in Amira by recording a user-defined assessment of how well registered each brain was on a 1 to 5 scale. It may also be used to define a display hierarchy such that no more than n neurons should be displayed.
