Attributes

QName Type Fixed Default Use Inheritable Annotation
fractAlongParent ZeroToOne optional 
Approximate location of this section's proximal point along the parent cable. NOTE: this attribute will be removed in v2.0!! Use fract_along_parent instead.
Changed for consistency with ChannelML and NetworkML naming conventions.
fract_along_parent ZeroToOne optional 
Connection location of this section's proximal point along the parent cable. 
    Normally this could be determined by the 3D points, but this option is needed as many reconstructed neurons have dendrites "floating in space", possibly due to drift
    of the slice. In this case the fract_along_parent determines electrical connectivity, and it is up to the loading application/its user to decide to ignore the discrepancy, 
    move the dendrite or fill in an extra section.
    NOTE: this attribute will be required in v2.0!! Don't use fractAlongParent anymore.
Changed for consistency with ChannelML and NetworkML naming conventions.
id xs:nonNegativeInteger required 
ID of the cable, unique within this cell
name xs:string optional 
As many simulators use a string to identify the sections, etc. a unique name can be given to the segment.
parent xs:nonNegativeInteger optional 
A cable ID. A way to connect cables logically.
