Oops. I added 6 columns to the examples without updating the labels. The
label row in the second example should read:
col1 col2 col3 col4 col5 col6
or for morphometrics,
x1 y1 z1 x2 y2 z2
or if you change to DIM=2, maybe,
x1 y1 x2 y2 x3 y3
Lot's of flexibility here.

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

Dear Friends
I wonder if any one have an idea about who to change or to input my data
in TPS format as my own is written in txt format.
