Paths
BioVis3D includes a tool designed to easily draw paths to reconstruct tree-like structures.
This is done using the Path Tool. A path in BioVis3D is a set of nodes that can be connected with
each other or not. Once rendered in 3D, the path will appear as a tubular structure that resembles
a tree that traverses all the connected nodes.
These nodes can be distributed within the same slice or in different slices, thus allowing the path
to span multiple slices along the Z axis.
Each node defines its diameter which in turn defines the section of the path at that given point.
This property is specified in the Properties panel for each selected node in the 2D view.
The color of the path is determined by the color of the object it belongs to.
Any given object can contain only one path.
