Hi Débora,

If you want to "manually" calculate the distances, just apply the
formula in an Excel spreadsheet:

*d² = (x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)² + (z2 - z1)²*

'd' is the distance between landmarks; x1, y1 and z1 are the the
coordinates of landmark 1 and x2, y2 and z2 are the coordinates of
landmark 2.

Best regards,

Rafael Carvalho

    Dear Débora,
the EDMA functions in PAST allow you to compute a specific interlandmark
    distance or even all possible interlandmark distance. You just need to
    select the landmarks you're interested in.
    PAST can open TPS files and also MorphoJ raw coordinate txt files as
    long
    as the name of the first column is changed from ID to something else
    (e.g.,
    OBSERVATIONS, RAW_NAMES etc.).

    Good luck.
    Cheers

    Andrea

        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
