Hi Karl, I’ve used the Shape software package to complete EFA before, and it worked very well. You can find the files to download on the SB Morphometrics website (http://life.bio.sunysb.edu/morph/soft-outlines.html)
Along with the download is a manual and tutorial – it’s very easy to follow and simple to use. If you have 2D images you’re using it’s particularly useful, as you can just upload the picture files and the software will allow you to binarize it and will analyze the outlines right from the image. Hope that helps, --Heather ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Heather M.

Is there a favorite? I like to analyze data in R, are there programs that are easier to integrate into R than others? I see that the R package Momocs has a lot of tools for analyzing EFA data, but can one also collect data with Momocs? I'm pretty familiar with Landmark GMM workflows, is the EFA workflow similar in concept? I.e., image a leaf, collect the data (with some program), do some kind of superimposition, work with the data.
