Utility programs

These programs perform various utility operations such as changing file formats or special computations.

Note: all of the software in the tps---- series listed below are freely available for use in research and teaching.

tpsUtil32

tps file utility program. Windows. At present it can: randomly scramble the order of specimens in a tps file to minimize bias in digitizing landmark locations, restore the original order (e.g., before statistical analyses are performed), create an empty TPS file from a directory with image files, add keywords and values to the variables field of a TPS file, combine TPS files into a single TPS file, delete/reorder landmarks, remove outlines from a TPS file, and convert TPS and NTS files to NTS, M, or CSV files. It can also split an NTS file into several matrices. Graphic editors are included for drawing link and "sliders" files. Computes perimeter, area enclosed by landmarks, and a measure of circularity. Can redefine outline and curves points as landmark points (just places the coordinates in a different position in the tps file).

Unbending a deformed specimen. Users may find the guide by Travis C. Haas helpful.

tpsUtil is compatible with modern versions of Windows - both 32 and 64 bit.

Other operations can be added - let me know what you need. By F. James Rohlf. Version 1.83.
