Dear all,



 I'd like to introduce you my new software for outline data.

(Download page: http://tenebrionidae.net/GMTP.php)



Any suggestion or bug report will be appreciated.

Geometric Morphometrics Tools Package (GMTP) version 2.0 is a program
for data conversion, size calculation, shape drawing and image cropping
for outline data.



This program has the below abilities:

1-    Examples: Contains example data of tpsDig curve data, EFA .out
file and NTS aligned specimens.

2-    Data Convertion:

a.    tps to PAST, EFA, Morpheus, CSV

b.    NTS(only aligned specimens) to CSV

c.    EFA(harmonics, .out) to PAST

d.    EFA(Reproduced Outline, .out) to PAST

3-    Size Calculation

a.    Centroid Position

b.    Centroid Size

c.    Area: Automatically closes open curves for correct area calculation

d.    Perimeter: Asks user whether to calculate closed or open curve. If
the curve is an open one, then the program adds the distance between
first and last point to the total distance.

4-    Crop by coordinates: Crops the original image by shape coordinates

5-    Visualizer: Draws shapes of a tps file. It has many options for
drawing outline, centroid, radial lines, Maximum line, etc.





Regards,

Siavash Taravati
