Dear Anouchka Jacquier: Use R!
http://cran.r-project.org/
load your coordinate table using function read.table()
install library rgl
use function plot3d() to visualize your data. Awesome and interactive.
R might seem cryptic in the beginning, but if you have some patience and
some geekiness in you, it will be worth the learning.
You have very clear documentation on the contributed manuals. Emmanuel
Paradis'R for beginners might be a good pick.
CheeRs!

Hi!
I'm working on the morphology of fishes using the
Landmark program to visualize my 3D specimens and place
landmark points on them.
I now wanted to quantify the differences between the
species using the landmak points I exported, but I don't
know what kind of program I should use.
I exported my points as .pts files (raw landmark points)
and .dta files (NTSys landmark points)
I wanted to represent my 3D specimens with my points, in a
sort of squared cube. The points would be positionned in
relation to their x, y, z coordinates.
I hope someone can help me!
Thanks
