Re: size will be missing Re: [MORPHMET] Save aligned in TPSRelW

[alcardini]

Dear Joanna,
this is something you can easily check: compare a PCA, shape distances and
also centroid size from TPSRelw with those from MorphoJ after redoing the
GPA: are they different?
If they are, I'd worry. But, unless there's a mistake, I'd say they will be
virtually identical.

Cheers

 Hello All,

 I am using TPSRelW to slide semilandmarks. Once I have the consensus, I
 use Save aligned to export the aligned coordinates (including slid
 semilandmarks) as a tps file, that I want to import into MorphoJ.

 The problem is that the file that is exported has the IDs of the
 specimens empty, with no information. And MorphoJ doesn't import it without
 that information, so I have to type it one by one on the tps file. Does
 anyone know how to export that tps file from TPSRelW without losing the ID?

 Thanks!

Re: size will be missing Re: [MORPHMET] Save aligned in TPSRelW

[Joanna Lenarczyk]

Hello All,
I was thinking about using TpsRelw to slide semilandmarks before analysing
the aligned specimens data in MorphoJ, but does it really make sense to
double the alignment?
Even if I have the file after TpsRelw, where landmarks and semilandmarks
are treated differently, im MorphoJ I make the alignment - Procrustes fit
again, in which the semilandmarks are treated as landmarks,  they are
computed as landmarks. So, do I lose the information on the placement of
semilandmarks or not in MorphoJ?
Best,
Joanna

Re: [MORPHMET] Save aligned in TPSRelW

[Liu Idarraga Orozco]

I use tpsRelw for align my data and I din't have ID lost in my matrix. 
Trait export the aligned file like a *tps. Respect to the size, I never 
has been "residuals of size" in there, and I think that you have a 
problem there, because the value should be "0" or nearly "0" (because 
the size was remove it). Cardini suggest: "


   As most of the time you may want to analyse both size and shape,
   instead of importing in MorphoJ the aligned specimens from the
   TPSRelw slid configurations, I'd suggest to save the SCALED ALIGNED
   SPECIMENS in TPSRelw."

but in my experience that funtion doesn`t work correctly with 
semilandmarks matrix, It creates a kind of loop for some landmarks. My 
suggestion is: save the aligned as *tps; and for the CS, I think a good 
option is import it to MorphoJ as a covariable, at least until the 
problem of "loops" is solved in tpsRelw.

They are, in my experience, about 1 and, regardless of the reason 
(which I find less important), they're wrong. Of course, if one does 
not do anything with size, shape data will be fine. I would not risk 
to be misled, nevertheless. In fact, I might have happened to review 
one or two papers when someone was testing allometry or something else 
involving size, when size was about 1 for all specimens.

So I think there is no error in having, for those data, CS slightly

Re: [MORPHMET] Save aligned in TPSRelW

Dear Pere,

there are various workarounds to that.  For instance, one can convert 
the original tps file to an nts file and then copy the line with the 
labels from the original nts to the tps with aligned specimens. Another 
option, which is useful when one has the names in the file names and not 
in IDs is to use the function "list images in tps files" in tpsUtil. 
This actually saves a lot of time as one doesn't have to input the ids 
one by one.


Although this doesn't answer exactly your question, it should be good 
enough in many (most) situations.


Best,

Hello All,

I am using TPSRelW to slide semilandmarks. Once I have the consensus, 
I use Save aligned to export the aligned coordinates (including slid 
semilandmarks) as a tps file, that I want to import into MorphoJ.


The problem is that the file that is exported has the IDs of the 
specimens empty, with no information. And MorphoJ doesn't import it 
without that information, so I have to type it one by one on the tps 
file. Does anyone know how to export that tps file from TPSRelW 
without losing the ID?


Thanks!

[MORPHMET] Save aligned in TPSRelW
