Hello,
I have implemented the analytical solution to the sum-over-trips approach that Abbot uses for V(x, t) on an arbitrary branching cable structure, in C++. Given a location for the injection of current on one branch and the location of measurement of voltage on another branch, I can follow the evolution of voltage in time on this system, specifically for a symmetrical cell, much like the starburst amacrine neuron, for any number of branches.
I would like to visualise the voltage propagating across this cell, and would be interested in finding out how NEURON some of its solutions given a geometry and the point of injection of current. However, the NEURON package being extensive, your code is very daunting ! Would it be possible for you to point me in the right direction ?
To clarify - I would like to visualise my solution V(x, t) on an image of the geometry of my choice, with voltage being colour-coded onto the cell as NEURON is able to do.
I hope this isn't too bold a request ! Thank you very much for your help.

Re: NEURON's visualisation package
I believe it would be a bad idea to try to bring the NEURON GUI libraries into your program since
the user level is at the hoc interpreter which makes use of some NEURON specific C++ classes,
which makes use of the InterViews graphics library and the latter has not been under any development
since the early 90's. I'm guessing it would make more sense for you to use one of the Python graphics packages
or (if your programi is c/c++) Tk or gnuplot.
