Hello All-
IMP and MakeFan are at http://www.canisius.edu/~sheets/
The newer version 7 of IMP requires a username and password for
download, contact me via e-mail, I'll be happy to send it to you.
Best,

Hi Jordan,
You can do that with the software MakeFan, which has different options
that you can explore. This software belongs to a package: the IMP, in
which you can find other programs to work with geometric morphometrics.
The MakeFan is a program very easy to use, but you have to take into
account that the images could be reduced and sometimes deformed. When
the image is deformed, everything that you'd have to do is reload. I
hope this helps you.
Good luck,
Liu Idárraga
PD. Attach two files that I think that help you: 1) an example of its
use and 2) an introduction to the IMP.
[In general (there are exceptions), I do not forward attachments to the
list. Better for those interested to contact the poster than to send
extra files out to a thousand members. Or better yet for the poster to
make those available online and post a link. -the morphmet mod (dslice)]

Dear all,
In his paper on the extended eigenshape method, MacLeod (1999)
describes a procedure whereby outlines are traced so that homologous
points across specimens are identified as landmarks, and equal numbers
of semi-landmarks are allocated between them. How would I do this in
practice using sliding semi-landmarks? Would I have to first identify
the landmarks as such in tpsDig, and then draw separate lines between
them using consistent numbers of points that I would later identify as
sliding semi-landmarks in tpsUtil? Or is there a better, more
streamlined way of doing this? Unfortunately, I can't seem to find any
answers in the mailing list archives.
Thanks,
Jordan
