You might go to http://www.morphometrics.org/library.html and look at some of the articles under the heading "What is Morphometrics." Available programs for handling 3D data of which I am aware include: morpheus (old version) - Slice. ordinary and generalized Procrustes superimpositions with lots of graphics and import/export options. Remaining version is Windows. morphologika - O'Higgins et al. superimpositions plus PCAs of various types. Windows. morphoj - Klingenberg. A number of follow up analyses. Java, so cross-platform. edgewarp - Bookstein and Green. Very sophisticated handling of 3D points and data structures. Steep learning curve. Linux, but I think somewhat cross-platform. Not sure about Sheet's IMP package, but I recall discussion about 3D analyses. m_vis - Slice. 3D morphometric data visualization. Graphics component for new morpheus. Java = Linux, Windows, Mac. morpheus (new version) - Slice. Undocumented, alpha version released because it has a number of very useful features for checking and correcting data sets when used in conjunction with m_vis (the two are not yet integrated). Java. Any more?
