Hi Natalie, if you import your *.tps data into morpheus et al software and then just enter: DIST "some name of the distance" and x, y (i.e. the landmarks between which you want to measure the distance) before the coordinate data, and export a matrix file, then you get your distances in spread sheet format...

I didn't mean tpsUtil but tpsDig. The idea is not to do all the measuring manually (as it is possible using tpsDig), but take advantage of the already digitalized landmarks. Nathalia Hernández ----- Original Message ---- From: morphmet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: morphmet <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, February 14, 2007 3:28:41 PM Subject: getting distances between a pair of landmarks Hi everyone! I am interested in obtaining the measure of a linear distance between two landmarks which are part of the overall landmark scheme I use. I know tpsUtil and other software can be used to make linear measurements, but since I'm interested in the distance between two of the already digitalized landmarks, any option to take advantage of this fact would be very useful and time-saving. So, is there any program that can generate an output file containing the distance between two given landmarks? Or anyone has a practical idea on how to do this?
