compute geometric properties of branch sections located a fixed number of spheres away from each bifurcation. The script takes in input the surface and the relative centerlines, both already split into branches.

| branchsectionarea | BranchSectionAreaArrayName | str | 1 | | BranchSectionArea | name of the array where the area of bifurcation sections have to be stored |
| branchsectionminsize | BranchSectionMinSizeArrayName | str | 1 | | BranchSectionMinSize | name of the array where the minimum diameter of each section has to be stored |

| branchsectionshape | BranchSectionShapeArrayName | str | 1 | | BranchSectionShape | name of the array where the shape index, i.e. the ratio between minimum and maximum diameter, of each bifurcation section has to be stored |
| branchsectionclosed | BranchSectionClosedArrayName | str | 1 | | BranchSectionClosed | name of the array containing 1 if a section is closed and 0 otherwise |
| branchsectiondistancespheres | BranchSectionDistanceSpheresArrayName | str | 1 | | BranchSectionDistanceSpheres | name of the array containing the number of distance spheres the section is taken at |
