Hi Miranda,
you need to have the same number of landmarks for all specimens which
you can get by a resampling procedure prior to your analyses... I think
on the NYCEP web page (http://www.nycep.org/nmg/programs.html) there is
software (resample.exe), which enables you to load any number of
landmarks of a digitised curve, to fit a spline or so to these landmarks
from which a user prescribed number of evenly spaced landmarks on that
curve is calculated for all specimens. These data you can then load into
GM software to analyse. Morphologika does not permit missing data....
hope that helps,
Markus

Dear All,
I am having trouble uploading autoplot data into Morphologika, and I was hoping someone out there could help. I used the autoplot function of a MicroScribe to take data points every 5mm. However, because some of the specimens are larger than others, they do not all have the same number of data points. A colleague told me that I might be able to substitute the letter X for missing data, but I have not been able to get the file to upload. Does anyone know if there is a certain way to format the X's to make this work?

Thank You,
Miranda Utzinger
