Hi Karl, I’ve used the Shape software package to complete EFA before, and it worked very well. You can find the files to download on the SB Morphometrics website (http://life.bio.sunysb.edu/morph/soft-outlines.html) Along with the download is a manual and tutorial – it’s very easy to follow

Yes, Iwata's program (far too generally named) is the one to which I send my non-programming students. -ds On Monday, February 16, 2015 at 2:20:37 PM UTC-5, karl.fetter wrote: Hi Everyone, I'd like to find out what the 'go-to' program is for collecting elliptical fourier descriptors? Is

Hi Everyone, I'd like to find out what the 'go-to' program is for collecting elliptical fourier descriptors? Is there a favorite? I like to analyze data in R, are there programs that are easier to integrate into R than others? I see that the R package Momocs has a lot of tools for analyzing EFA

Dear all, I have what might be either a very basic question or an impossible task. I am working on quantifying the area covered by epibionts on highly-curved oyster shells (500+ specimens). These have been photographed from the top, but the amount of curvature on some of them means that using

Thanks everyone for the responses. It looks like Momocs will do what I need. One other question if I may, I’m trying to create a pipeline of data acquisition from a common garden to elliptical fourier descriptors. I’m thinking of making a box that an SLR (or some other camera) fits into and
