Fill a geometricaly defined contour with axons

Parameters:

  • parallel (bool) – if True, the generation process (quite long) is split over multiples cores, if False everything is perfrmed by the master.

  • percent_unmyel (float) – ratio of unmyelinated axons in the population. Should be between 0 and 1.

  • FVF (float) – Fiber Volume Fraction estimated for the area. By default set to 0.55

  • M_stat (str) – name of the statistic in the librairy or path to a new librairy in csv for myelinated diameters repartition

  • U_stat (str) – name of the statistic in the librairy or path to a new librairy in csv for unmyelinated diameters repartition

  • ppop_fname (str) – optional, if specified, name file to store the placed population generated

  • pop_fname (str) – optional, if specified, name file to store the population generated
