I wonder if there is any tool that can sum up the surface area of a full morphology? As to do it manually would take an age. Thanks so much.

Code: Select all
a=0
forall for (x) a += area(x)
print a

I forgot to mention that the previous code fragment assumed only one cell (e.g, no acell_home_). Slightly more elaborate for a network model is the following function which returns the area of the cell containing the currently accessed section
Code: Select all
func cellarea() { local a, x localobj cell
cell = new SectionList()
cell.wholetree()
a = 0
forsec cell for (x,0) { a += area(x) }
return a
}
