I want to connect the branch points and endpoints of a skeleton (see sample skeleton below) via straight lines. However, the lines should be along the path of the skeleton. It’s like "straightening" the skeleton. I’ve drawn a sample picture below describing how the branchpoints should be connected by the blue straight lines.

I’m thinking that this would probably involve a traversal algorithm.I want to connect the branch points and endpoints of a skeleton (see sample skeleton below) via straight lines.
