OK I will take another look at this.

Perhaps. I was expecting to get a count of the coloured branches by order but
the bsh file now, I realise that seems to count all segments of a branch as a
different one when the remain with the same order. Perhaps it is the names of
the columns that I could not relate to.

No I did not, I am reinventing the wheel, because I can. :-)
Now seriously, I think that this problem could be resolved by a different
means that does not require the skeleton encoded as a graph.
Will post it if it works.

Looking again
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strahler_number
I realised that they are shown as sub-branches. The confusing part is that the
table counts all branches, not the order k ones, which appear as "end points".
Will have another look at this. Thanks for the follow up.
