Slice <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The old Morpheus or the new m_vis visualization tool both provide import/export features to facilitate format conversions. In most cases, I usually start with NTSYSpc (or almost equivalently GRF-ND) formats that are simple to construct with a text editor (a pure ASCII editor is required). The basic structure of an NTSYS file is: t r c m1 m2 a1,1 a1,2 ... a1,c a2,1... a2,c ... ar,1... ar,c where the first row are descriptors: t = matrix type, usually '1' for a rectangular data matrix r = number of rows in matrix c = number of columns m1 = missing data? 0=no anything else means missing data is present m2 = omitted if m1=0, otherwise missing data code ai,j = data You can also add 'l' (lowercase el) or 'L' to the r and c to indicate labels will follow in that order. And, you can add a DIM=k to the descriptor (a GRF-ND feature) to aid importing. Examples: 1 2 6 0 3.2 1.1 1.5 4.3 1.2 3.1 0.9 1.4 4.1 1.4 1 2L 6L 1 -999 DIM=3 FIRST_ROW SECOND_ROW col1 col2 col3 col4 3.2 1.1 -999 4.3 1.2 3.1 0.9 1.4 -999 1.4 Set up your files and use the File|Import menu choice. Note the old Morpheus has some more flexibility at this point. That said, most TPS programs can read NTSYS format files. Best, ds morphmet wrote:
