I have been checking and editing about 2500 crania in the past few weeks and noted a few things about Morpheus.
1) Superimposition of data with objects for which ALL points are missing is ill-behaved (program hangs). 2) This is especially true when the initial reference object has all missing points. 3) Objects with only one or two non-missing points cause problems. It may seem silly to have objects where all the points are missing, but this does reasonably occur in large, heterogeneous data sets. These issues and the work that revealed them suggest a number of program changes/enhancements (handling and flagging the above situations, functions for auto-deleting of deficient objects, enabling reference specification, auto-identifying outliers, etc), but they will have to wait until I can clear some programming time. In the meantime, you can use the View|Point|Report to identify and manually delete (Edit|Object|Delete or Keep) the problem specimens. -ds -- MORPHMET may be accessed via its webpage at http://www.morphometrics.org To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to [email protected].
