The tpsDig software was not designed to handle that situation. One would
have to figure out a scale factor independently. The tps file is a
simple ascii file so that once the scale factors have been determined
one can enter them by hand with a text editor. Of course to just study
shape variation one does not need to set a scale factor.

Hi,
I'm a 4th year student at the University of Stirling writing my dissertation and
completely new to all this so bear with me.
I'm using tpsUtil, tpsDig and finally MorphoJ to measure some features of
insect body parts. I'm using several different species and as a consequence
photos have to be taken at different magnifications. I'm wondering if it is
still
possible to make a .tps file of all the body parts I want to measure and
change the scale half way through?
It also seems like I need to have the same number of landmarks in each
picture within the .tps file. Given this how do I set the scale using a separate
picture of an object of known length? (It was not possible to include a scale
bar in each image.
Thanks,
