Fig 2. Automatic detection of continuous z-line lengths.

Perfectly (A) and variably (B) continuous synthetic data. Ai and Bi, Synthetic data composed of four registered and continuous segments that were each seven pixels long. Segments that were shifted over by one pixel were treated as continuous. Aii and Bii, Continuous lines plotted as distinct colors on top of the synthetic data. C, The length of each continuous line detected in Aii and Bii, with the colors corresponding to those in Aii and Bii. The dashed lines indicate the number of pixels that composed continuous segments.
