% ELEN_TREE Electrotonic length of segments in a tree
% (trees package)
%
% elen = elen_tree (intree, options)
% ----------------------------------
%
% returns the electrotonic length of all segments (length/lambda).
%
% Input
% -----
% - intree::integer:index of tree in trees or structured tree
% - options::string: {DEFAULT: ''}
% '-s' : show
%
% Output
% ------
% - elen::Nx1 vector: electrotonic length values of each segment
%
% Example
% -------
