Hm... that is not right me thinks.

A "end point" is one that has only 1 connection in its 3x3 neighbourhood.

A skeletonized Y should have 3 end points, same as T.
K would have 4.

The order 1 branches (easiest to compute) would go from an end point to the
first junction pixel.

I noticed this because I started implementing a sequential pruning macro using
morphological operations and get different results that the bsh script, but I
can visualise the result with my macro and it seems to be correct but the
script does not show anything (so I can't say what it is really doing).

Cheers
