RE: [MORPHMET] Use of outline tool on TPSDig

[f.james.rohlf]

If you set a number of points less than the digitized number of points then the 
software has to interpolate and that is likely to cut off the corners. This is 
especially true if the shape is irregular. No easy solution except that you can 
edit the points and push them around to where you would like them to be.

 Subject: [MORPHMET] Use of outline tool on TPSDig 
Hello! Before I get started, I am not an experienced user of software like 
TPSDig.Anyway, I am trying to use the outline tool in TPSDig to outline the 
edges of iliac crests in order to plot a specific number of points on the 
edges. For some reason, everytime I actually set the outline and choose the 
number of co-ordinate points, the outline does not actually run all the way 
round the crest but cuts off towards the end of its loop and makes a shortcut 
to the start which is not helpful since it means I am not actually getting the 
outline of the whole bone. The yellow line that shows the initial outline does 
run around the whole bone, but the red line with the points does not. Anybody 
know why this might be happening and how I could fix it? Thank you very much!
Kind regards,Serita Savolainen
