TractSkeleton
-------------

`Link to code <file:///build/buildd/nipype-0.9.2/nipype/interfaces/fsl/dti.py#L639>`__

Wraps command **tbss_skeleton**

Use FSL's tbss_skeleton to skeletonise an FA image or project arbitrary values onto a skeleton.

There are two ways to use this interface.  To create a skeleton from an FA image, just
supply the ``in_file`` and set ``skeleton_file`` to True (or specify a skeleton filename.
To project values onto a skeleton, you must set ``project_data`` to True, and then also
supply values for ``threshold``, ``distance_map``, and ``data_file``. The ``search_mask_file``
and ``use_cingulum_mask`` inputs are also used in data projection, but ``use_cingulum_mask``
is set to True by default.  This mask controls where the projection algorithm searches
within a circular space around a tract, rather than in a single perpindicular direction.
