Anurag, One can do this using geomorph and the base-R function 'which'. Below is an example, using the plethodon dataset from geomorph, where one extracts a subset of specimens that are designated Allo in another vector (in this case a vector designating locality type):
library(geomorph) data(plethodon) which(plethodon$site=="Allo") #shows which specimens are designated 'Allo' newdat<-plethodon$land[,,which(plethodon$site=="Allo")] #creates new data set writeland.tps(newdat,'newdat.tps') #writes tps file Hope this helps.

I have all the specimens (with landmarks) in one .tps file. Can I use a grouping factor (from a separate file) to split the original file? In a manner somewhat similar to extracting a subset from a dataframe in R - This might be a very basic function, but I am unable to figure this out. -- MORPHMET may be accessed via its webpage at http://www.morphometrics.org --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MORPHMET" group.
