Hi,

Here it is the formula in an Excel format:

d=sqrt(((x2 - x1)^2) + ((y2 - y1)^2) + ((z2 - z1)^2))

I hope it is useful,

    FYI the equation did not show up correctly on my Mac.  The quotation
    marks
    should be 2s (it's the Pythagorean theorem).

        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
