Hi Mark...
I am not the best user of IMP programs, but when I used it once, I had
to put the last two landmarks as a scale (in the same distance in all
the images) on tpsdig2, so the CoordGen could read it. I don't have a
lot of experience but as much as I know, if you want to use the set
scale option on tpsdig2, it will work in the tps programs but not in the
IMP programs. Probably there is an option but I don't know it, maybe
somebody with more experience can help you (us) more.
Brgds and happy holidays to all morphometricians,
Jimena.

Dear morphometric colleagues,
I'm trying to load a tps file into CoordGen. Using tpsDig, I chose
17 landmarks as well as using the "Set Scale" option to establish
size on each specimin. I'm not sure now which option to choose for
the file format to import this into CoordGen. If I choose "Load TPS
file (with ruler)" it assumes 2 of my 17 landmarks are the ruler, so
this is not correct. But then the other TPS option, "Load TPS (no
ruler/no scale factor)" doesn't seem to be correct either. In this
option does "no scale factor" mean that the data has been correctly
scaled OR NOT? Is there an option that allows me to utilize my TPS
file in its current format or must I go back and add 2 additional
landmarks to establish a "ruler"? Thanks for the assistance!
