pymaid.differential_upload

pymaid.differential_upload(x, skeleton_id=None, no_prompt=False, remote_instance=None)[source]

Upload only changes made to a neuron.

In brief, this function takes the input neuron x, compares with its live version on the server and makes incremental changes:

  1. Remove nodes not present in x from live neuron

  2. Add nodes present in x but not in live neuron

  3. Move nodes present in x and live neuron that have changed positions

Danger

Use this with EXTREME caution as this is irreversible!

Parameters:

  • x (CatmaidNeuron/List) – Neurons to upload.

  • skeleton_id (int, optional) – Use this to set the target live neuron. If not provided will will use x.skeleton_id.

  • no_prompt (bool, optional) – If True, will not prompt before uploading changes!

  • remote_instance (CatmaidInstance, optional) – CatmaidInstance to upload to. If not passed directly, will try using global.

Returns:

  • None – If everything went well.

  • dict – On error, returns dict with server response.
