A weight matrix cannot be stored in a TPS so the "use scale factor" option
is not relevant.
The option is relevant when converting a tps file (which is always a 'data
file' giving landmark coordinates) to an NTS file. The coordinates are in
pixel units in a TPS file. If that option is checked then the coordinates
will be multiplied by the scale factor when stored in an NTS file.

I'm unsure of the use of the "use scale factor" option in the tpsUtil
program when converting a tps format weight matrix to a CSV format
weight matrix. I assumed (perhaps wrongly?) that the scale factor was
incorporated into the weight matrix when initially calculated. After
reading the help file, I remain confused. What is the effect of "using
scale factor" when converting formats?
