% CVOL_TREE Continuous volume of segments in a tree.
% (trees package)
%
% cvol = cvol_tree (intree, options)
% ----------------------------------
%
% returns the continuous volume of all compartments [in 1/um]. This is
% used by electrotonic calculations in relation to the specific axial
% resistance [ohm cm], see "sse_tree".
%
% Input
% -----
% - intree::integer:index of tree in trees or structured tree
% - options::string: {DEFAULT: ''}
% '-s' : show
%
% Output
% -------
% - cvol::Nx1 vector: continuous volume values for each segment
%
% Example
% -------
% cvol_tree (sample_tree, '-s')
