 Igneous provides the engine for performing out-of-core skeletonization of labeled images. 
 The in-core part of the algorithm is provided by the [Kimimaro](https://github.com/seung-lab/kimimaro) library.  
 
-The strategy is to apply Kimimaro mass skeletonization to 1 voxel overlapping chunks of the segmentation and then fuse them in a second pass. Both sharded and unsharded formats are supported. For very large datasets, note that sharded runs better on a local cluster as it can make use of `mmap`.

+We also support computing the cross sectional area at each vertex, but be aware that this will add significant time to the computation (currently many hours for a densely labeled task). This is practical for sparse labeling though. This should be improved substantially in the future.
