Parikh-collinear morphisms have the property that all the Parikh vectors of the images of letters are collinear, i.e., the associated adjacency matrix has rank 1. In the conference DLT–WORDS 2023 we showed that fixed points of Parikh-collinear morphisms are automatic. We also showed that the abelian complexity function of a binary fixed point of such a morphism is automatic under some assumptions. In this note, we fully generalize the latter result. Namely, we show that the abelian complexity function of a fixed point of an arbitrary, possibly erasing, Parikh-collinear morphism is automatic. Furthermore, a deterministic finite automaton with output generating this abelian complexity function is provided by an effective procedure. To that end, we discuss the constant of recognizability of a morphism and the related cutting set. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
