If you mean Morpheus et al., this program does not do any manual data collection. I have tried for years to get a scicomp student interested in writing such a module, but to no avail. I have written several digitizing programs over the decades - providing graphical feedback and interfacing to digitizing hardware, but cannot find the time to do this myself.
I don't need to collect data that often but for 2D data, I use tpsDig by Rohlf. For 3D data from meshes, I use Meshlab. That has worked sufficiently in the past, but not always as advertised on the Mac. Others have used Landmark Editor. I think the old version is free, but unsupported, while the new version Stratovan Checkpoint may be a commercial offering - https://www.stratovan.com/blog/landmark-editor Others can chime in with their favorite data collection modality. -ds On Thursday, December 15, 2016 at 11:00:02 AM UTC-5, Gabriel Wrobel wrote: > > I am just beginning to work with morphometrics and have a pretty simple (I > assume) question.
