Subject: Curve semi-landmarks created in TPSdig do not show in MorphoJ
To: morphmet@morphometrics.org

Dear all,

I digitized 9 landmarks and one curve of 10 equally spaced points in TPSdig in 121 specimens. I saved the TPS file and double checked that the coordinates of all 9 landmarks and 10 curve-based semi-landmarks were present and they were.

 I opened the TPS file in MorphoJ as my dataset and the 10 curve-based coordinates do not show up. The 9 landmarks show up fine. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.

Any ideas? Here's an excerpt of the TPS datafile:

LM=9
526.00000 788.00000
551.00000 771.00000
883.00000 780.00000
1000.00000 668.00000
1099.00000 712.00000
1359.00000 493.00000
1020.00000 461.00000
962.00000 544.00000
788.00000 567.00000
CURVES=1
POINTS=10
530.00000 789.00000
563.00000 812.00000
603.00000 819.00000
643.00000 822.00000
684.00000 819.00000
725.00000 817.00000
765.00000 810.00000
805.00000 802.00000
845.00000 793.00000
885.00000 783.00000


I am tempted to delete the "CURVES=1, POINTS=10" and make LM=19 (adding the 10 semi-landmarks into the pool of landmarks). There's got to be a real fix to my problem. I'm new at this so it could very well be an easy fix.

Thanks for any help,
