The old (Windows) Morpheus will make such calculations. If your current
data is in (or near) NTSYS format you can import it and convert it to a
Morpheus file, the append a measurement file. Something like:
dist "snout-vent" 1 13
dist "height" 4 16
...
The numbers are the indices of points between which the distance is to
be calculated. Once the data and distances are loaded just export (no
superimposition required) to a matrix format with column labels and the
measurements will be in the first columns. You can also measure angles,
areas, and I don't recall what else.
The morphoJ export function appears to produce some kind of matrix that
can easily be edited to NTSYS format - make comma delimited, add NTSYS
header "1 nrows ncolumns 0" (nColumns would be number of landmarks times
three for three-dimensional coordinate data.

Hello:
I'm Débora, a Phd student from the University of Barcelona. I would like
to make a question if anyone can help me. I want to calculate lineal
distances between landmarks that belongs to a 3D matrice. I'm working
with the software MorphoJ, but there isn't any option to do it and I
don't know what program is better to do it considering my data matrix
(prepared to work with MorphoJ).
Thank you very much everybody
Regards
Débora
