Wraps command **ExtractSkeleton **

title: Extract Skeleton

category: Filtering

description: Extract the skeleton of a binary object.  The skeleton can be limited to being a 1D curve or allowed to be a full 2D manifold.  The branches of the skeleton can be pruned so that only the maximal center skeleton is returned.

Inputs::

        [Mandatory]
        terminal_output: ('stream' or 'allatonce' or 'file' or 'none')
                Control terminal output: `stream` - displays to terminal
                immediately, `allatonce` - waits till command is finished to display
                output, `file` - writes output to file, `none` - output is ignored

        [Optional]
        InputImageFileName: (an existing file name)
                Input image
        OutputImageFileName: (a boolean or a file name)
                Skeleton of the input image
        args: (a string)
                Additional parameters to the command
        dontPrune: (a boolean)
                Return the full skeleton, not just the maximal skeleton
        environ: (a dictionary with keys which are a value of type 'str' and
                 with values which are a value of type 'str', nipype default value:
                 {})
                Environment variables
        ignore_exception: (a boolean, nipype default value: False)
                Print an error message instead of throwing an exception in case the
                interface fails to run
        numPoints: (an integer)
                Number of points used to represent the skeleton
        pointsFile: (a string)
                Name of the file to store the coordinates of the central (1D)
                skeleton points
        terminal_output: ('stream' or 'allatonce' or 'file' or 'none')
                Control terminal output: `stream` - displays to terminal
                immediately, `allatonce` - waits till command is finished to display
                output, `file` - writes output to file, `none` - output is ignored
        type: ('1D' or '2D')
                Type of skeleton to create

Outputs::

        OutputImageFileName: (an existing file name)
                Skeleton of the input image
