[MORPHMET] tpsDig2 update

[F. James Rohlf]

I have just uploaded version 2.30 of tpsDig2 to the
http://life.bio.sunysb.edu/morph server.

 

It fixes a problem with the decimal character when reading coordinates of
curves.  Thanks to Jessica Grahn for reporting the problem.

RE: [MORPHMET] tpsDig2 and closed curves

[F. James Rohlf]

Yes, that was the intended behavior. As mention on a prior posting, the closed 
curve option is only for esthetics – it displays a line to connect the first 
and last points but coordinates on the first point is not added to the end of 
the list. In GM one must avoid the chance that two points would have identical 
coordinates as a deformation in their positions would require an infinite 
amount of bending energy.  However I could change the interpolation rule if 
users request it.

Subject: [MORPHMET] tpsDig2 and closed curves

 

Greetings morphometricians,

 

I noticed a strange behaviour while attempting to obtain closed curves from 
tpsDig2.

 

When I resample the curve, the first and last point remain fixed, and only 
other points get repositioned. This is the correct behaviour for open curves. 
However - to my understanding - in closed curves only one of these points (ex. 
first) should be fixed.

 

To reproduce it, follow:

 

1. Options > Close Curve

2. Modes > Draw Curve

3. Now, draw anything you wish, ex. an ellipse.

4. Right click on your closed curve > Resample Curve

4.1 Input a far bigger number of points (I know, I know, but it's easier to 
notice this way)

4.2 Chose [By Length] > Ok.

 

The distance between last and first landmark remains fixed. Again, a behaviour 
I'd only expect in open curves. Am I wrong to expect the resampling to effect 
all points except the first one in the specific case of closed curves??

 

Thanks in advance,

Best Regards,

[MORPHMET] tpsDig2 version 2.28 available

[F. James Rohlf]

I have just uploaded version 2.28 of tpsDig2 to the
http://life.bio.sunysb.edu/morph site.

 

The new version again does a proper screen copy and save of both the image
and any landmarks or curves currently on the screen. One can also now
specify the color of the line to be used for measurement. A few other minor
things were also fixed.

 

Thanks to Mauro Cavalcanti for the suggestions.

[MORPHMET] tpsDig2 update to version 2.26

[F. James Rohlf]

I have just uploaded version 2.26 of tpsDig2 to the
http://life.bio.sunysb.edu/morph server. This fixes some problems and
suggestions reported by Miriam Zelditch. There is now an option on the
Options menu so that the current zoom will be kept when moving from one
specimen to another. The 'go to specimen' window now allows for files with
of up to 9 specimens - I assume that will be large enough for most
users. Please let me know of other changes that would make using the program
easier.

 

Thanks again, Miriam!

[MORPHMET] tpsDig2 update to version 2.24

[F. James Rohlf]

I have just uploaded version 2.24 of tpsDig2 to the
http://life.bio.sunysb.edu/morph server. This fixes a problem in the context
menu where the option to delete a landmark was not listed after on resampled
the points in a curve. Thanks to Miriam Zelditch for letting me know that
there was this problem.

 

Reminder: use just the 32 bit versions of the tps software for now.

[MORPHMET] tpsDig2

[F. James Rohlf]

For some reason people have not been able to download the tpsDig2 32 bit
software (a server warning). I just uploaded a fresh copy of the same
version (2.22) and it seems to download ok now.

[MORPHMET] tpsDig2 update 2.20

[F. James Rohlf]

A new version of tpsDig2 has been uploaded to
http:life.bio.sunysb.edu/morph. The only changes reflect an observation made
by Ingrid Grueso that one may unknowingly click on the "M" button to
indicate a missing landmark when one intends to click on the landmark
digitizing button right next to it. I have added a new entry on the Options
menu where one can specify whether a pop-up confirmation window should be
displayed when one clicks on the "M" button. Click on "OK" to add a missing
landmark or "Cancel" to ignore and return to digitizing landmarks.

[MORPHMET] tpsDig2 update to version 2.19

[F. James Rohlf]

An update to tpsDig2 has just been uploaded to the
http://life.bio.sunysb.ed/morph server. Some relatively small changes to
both the program (both 32 and 64 bit versions) and the help file. A
printable version of the help file is also included to serve as a user
manual

[MORPHMET] tpsDig2 update

[F. James Rohlf]

I have just uploaded version 2.19 of the tpsDig2 program to the
http://life.bio.sunysb.edu/morph server.

 

This version includes both 32 and 64 bit versions. It also fixes the INI
file storage problem (the help file also describes a way to force the
program to still use the program's folder - seems necessary on some
computers). Using the user's documents folder is more standard and also more
desirable because it enables different users of the same computer to save
different preferences.

 

There were also a number of small changes. For example, there are now
additional image enhancement options. The fit to window option is now
retained when moving from one image to the next. A printable user manual is
also included as a PDF file. It has identical information as contained in
the help file. It is just a different format that some may find more
convenient.

 

Thanks to Lucia Alarcon Rios for letting me know that at least some Windows
7 computers still require the INI file to be placed with the program. Again,
please let me know if there are problems with this latest version.

[MORPHMET] tpsDig2 update to 2.18

[F. James Rohlf]

I have just uploaded version 2.18 of tpsDig2 to the
life.bio.sunysb.edu/morph server.

 

At the suggestion of Dean Adams, I have added a provision for missing
landmarks. They are coded as the coordinates -1,-1 in the output file. Check
the help file for more information.  The geomorph package will have an
option that will convert them to its format. However, the other tps programs
do not yet know how to handle such missing landmarks.

 

I have also added an option so that the image will be zoomed + or - as
necessary to fit the window. Should make the usage more convenient.

 

Please keep sending me suggestions and bug reports!

[MORPHMET] TPSDig2 problem

[C. Zakia]

Hello everyone,

I have a problem with tpsdig2. I scanned the leaves of many trees of a specie. 
images were appointed in the same way and classified (all the leaves of a tree 
are  classified in the same file). I then creates a file TPS with  TPSUtil. 

when I open TPSdig brought to the landmarks, I have a problem !! there are file 
where I have all the leaves that appear, but no other files. I have one or two 
images that appears several times.
So, there are a few images that are in the folder and written to the tps file 
that I cannot view or digitize landmarks.

Does anyone have a solution?

Thanks

C. Zakia
