divided into segments either with fixed lengths or with
equal integral of the square root of the radiusr.
Th sqrt(r) form balances the charging rate of points in the final
discretization and its definition is independent of the electrical properties
of the membrane. It provides a more consistent discretization than the
electrotonic length, and is valid in the absence of persistent currents.
Tapering segments are treated as such and not approximated by a series of
cylinders. The discretization respects the actual points of the
structure to which stimuli or recorders may be attached.
