How to render a soma?

Specs comes from:

• NeuroMorpg.org
• MorphIO

The soma is defined by nodes with type of 1. The root node is the one with a parent of -1. The rendering depends on the number of such nodes.

1 node

The soma is a sphere with the radius of the node.

2 nodes

The soma is a capsule between these two nodes.

3 nodes

• Let be (x,y,z) the coordinates of the root.
• Let be r the average distance from all the soma nodes to the root.

The soma is a capsule from (x, y + r, z) to (x, y - r, z) with r as the radius on both ends.
