Just a question - does the MorphoJ distribution package includes the Java source code? Availability of source code is a pre-condition to enlist software in the Digital Taxonomy (http://digitaltaxonomy.infobio.net) website. With best regards, 2008/6/16 morphmet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Release of the MorphoJ program Date: Mon, 16 Jun 2008 01:37:56 -0700 (PDT) From: Chris Klingenberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Organization: University of Manchester To: [email protected] Dear morphometricians The MorphoJ program package for doing geometric morphometrics, after epic delays, is finally ready for public release! The goal of the program is to provide a platform for the most important types of analyses in geometric morphometrics. The program is written for both 2D and 3D data, with some inevitable differences in the graphical output possibilities etc. MorphoJ is available for free under the Apache License, Version 2.0. Features presently implemented in the program include: -- Procrustes fit for 2D and 3D data with and without object symmetry -- Import/export of data sets and supplementary information -- Identification of outliers (with choices for including/excluding observations and fixing some problems) -- Generating covariance matrices ('standard' and pooled within-group covariances) -- Principal component analysis -- Matrix correlation (including automatic adjustment for symmetry/asymmetry for configurations with object symmetry) -- Two-block partial least squares -- Regression (arbitrary numbers of dependent and independent variables; also pooled within-group regression, e.g. for allometry correction in multiple grous) -- Canonical variate analysis -- Linear discriminant analysis, including cross-validation -- Mapping shape variables onto a phylogeny -- Various analyses concerning the quantitative genetics of shape and selection for shape Additional features will be included in future releases. The software is written in Java, and includes external libraries that are also written in Java. As a result, the program is more or less platform-independent. At the moment, there are distributions of the test versions for Windows, Macintosh OS X (10.4 Tiger and higher) and Unix/Linux (tested under Ubuntu Linux only). All what you will need to run it is a recent Java Runtime Environment (minimum Version 5.0) for your operating system, which is available for free from http://www.java.com (Windows and Unix/Linux) or comes with your operating system (Mac; users of Tiger may have to upgrade to version 5.0). Further information and links for downloading the software are available from: http://www.flywings.org.uk/MorphoJ_page.htm Online documentation is available from: http://www.flywings.org.uk/MorphoJ_guide I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the various people who have tested MorphoJ in the past few years. Their thoroughness and patience are both greatly appreciated. I hope this will be useful to morphometricians.
