Anisotropic stretch of a single EC nuclear point pattern. λ _x = {1,…,4}, λ _y=0. (a) Stretch estimates computed with simple NN analysis. Also plotted is the theoretical result for a CSR process. (b) Stretch estimates computed with combined retro-deformation and NN analysis. (c) Number of new neighbour connections identified (i.e. those connections that were not present at zero stretch) when using both methods. For simple NN analysis, the trend is proportional to $\sqrt{{\lambda }_x}$. (d) Total number of neighbour connections identified when using both strain analysis methods
