Version 1.5.0

New skeletonization method

This release includes a new version of the wavefront skeletonization method. In contrast to the original implementation which "hops" from vertex to vertex, this new method travels a user-defined distance along the edges. This effectively allows you to resample the mesh. It's about 2-4x more computationally expensive but can give much better results on coarse meshes:

>>> s = sk.skeletonize.by_wavefront_exact(mesh, step_size=50)

New post-processing function

@zyx287 contributed a function that iteratively splits and re-centers edges that cross outside the mesh-boundaries.

>>> fixed = sk.post.fix_outside_edges(s)

Version 1.4.0

What's Changed

• New Skeleton property: Skeleton.root
• New Skeleton methods:
  • Skeleton.reroot() for rerooting the skeleton
  • Skeleton.mend_breaks() can re-introduce edges based on connectivity in the original mesh
• Fixed return statement for Skeleton.radius
• Refactored removed trimesh function calls by @KRiedmiller in #56
• Swapped out some depcrecated igraph methods

New Contributors

• @KRiedmiller made their first contribution in #56

Full Changelog: v1.3.0...v1.3.1

Version 1.3.0

New post-processing methods:

• skeletor.post.smooth to smooth the skeleton
• skeletor.post.despike remove spikes from skeleton
• skeletor.post.remove_bristles to remove single-node bristles from the skeleton

Version 1.2.3

Fixes and issue with igraph >= 0.10.0 and TEASAR skeletonization.

Version 1.2.2

Fixes igraph dependency: the old python-igraph (now just igraph) was finally retired and throws an error on import.

Version 1.2.1

This version fixes a bug in Skeleton.get_graph (also adds a new property `Skeleton.leafs).

Version 1.2.0

This release mainly improves skeletor.skeletonize.by_wavefront but also adds a new method to get a graph representation of skeletons:
Skeleton.get_graph. Also some under-the-hood improvements and bug fixes.

Version 1.1.0

This is a small release that adds a new method Skeleton.save_swc to save skeletonization results to a SWC file.

Version 1.0.0

This is a major release that adds new skeletonization methods and refactors many of the existing functions. Please see the changelog for details.

Version 0.2.11

Myriads of improvements and small bug fixes.
