Hello Patrick- TMorphGen8 always includes the centroid size as the last column in the output file, as a default. This allows for a check on the ordering of the data relative to the input data file. The original program is old enough that it doesn't handle specimen IDs well, hence the inclusion of the centroid size column.

I imported my dataset and then loaded the protocol for linear measurements. ####### my protoco l########### 1 7 12 2 31 32 3 33 34 ###### end of protocol ########## The protocol above indicates that I asked for 3 linear measurements, i.e., the linear distance between landmark 7 and 12, 31 and 32, and 33 and 34. HOWEVER, in the ouput file, I got four columns. I checked and found that the first three columns are what I asked for, while I am really confused about what the fourth column stands for. Could you please tell me what the numbers in the 4th column means? I have attached my datafile in TPS format, protocol file as well as the output for your reference. Thank you very much for your help.
