The Lines8 plugin in the latest version of the Morphology collection can
measure (2D only) skeleton lengths (2 types of lengths) and return the number
of 1..8 point pixels in multiple skeletons on screen. To do this, one needs
to select Redirect to: Connectivity

I cannot understand, however, how can the number of triple points divided by
the area of the object be a reliable estimate of the skeleton length.

A long skeleton or short without triple points would have a length of 0?
