The DIADEM metric provides a dramatically incorrect score and/or ignores a large portion of my SWC file. What am I doing wrong?
A. Most likely you have an older release of the metric (version prior to 11/25/2009) and need to download the more recent version. An error in the previous release of the metric occurred if any line of data did not contain the precise formatting expected (e.g. tabs between data, any character other than a normal space at the end of a line). The line for node 4 in the climbing fiber CF_1.swc contained a tab at the end. This caused the line to be ignored and thus all descendant nodes could not be attached to the tree. Ultimately the metric would conclude without a clear error, but would likely return very poor scores for automated traces run against the gold standard CF_1.swc. The updated metric ignores any whitespace at the end of a data line, though any non-whitespace characters (or any incorrect formatting) causes the program to terminate with an error message detailing the file and line number of the improper data format. Tabs and spaces are now treated equally to provide greater fle
