NLMorphologyConverter
(latest version is
0.10.0.dev, 10th January 2016 - release
notes HERE -)
A
simple command-line utility for
converting between most biological
neuron 3D morphology formats (including: all Neurolucida formats; SWC;
MorphML;
NeuronHOC; Genesis; Imaris, NeuroZoom;
Eutectics and many others ).
All users are advised to check
the
generated output data before making further use of it (the NLMorphologyViewer
is usually a suitable tool). Although import
and export algorithms are well tested and generally reliable, there
might
be special cases which are not imported correctly - e.g. for certain
file
formats original data occasionally contains errors which the importer
may not
recognize, or be able to deal with correctly; other formats are not
sufficiently
strictly specified that correct import can be guaranteed under all
circumstances.

Usage The simplest way to use the converter is like this -

More information: NLMorphologyConverter
neuron01.swc neuron01.asc NeurolucidaASC
will convert an SWC format file into a NeurolucidaASC format file. Since version 0.6.0, additional command line options have been introduced to enable the user to (1) view more information about the imported file, and (2) give more control over the exported data. Contact and Feedback Although
heavy
automated
testing
has
resulted
in
quite
a
stable
application,
there
are
undoubtably
some
bugs
left.
In
particular,
the
quantity
of publicly available data is quite limited for many
morphology formats, and various special cases of data layout may not
have been tested. Any
feedback
would
be
appreciated.
The
following
would
be
particularly
useful:
