Morpheus (alpha, java version) can import tpsDig files applying
individual scaling to the data sets. It also doesn't care (until the
last minute) about numbers of landmarks in each object. So, you could
import the tps file with all the parts (and associated individual
scales). Export to Morpheus format, then manually (or automatically with
your own program or script) go through and delete the OBJ/ENDOBJ tags
between parts:
OBJ "head01"
P "" 210.340 94.840
...
P "" 258.860 185.240
ENDOBJ
OBJ "thorax01"
P "" 206.520 94.470
...
P "" 264.690 193.980
ENDOBJ
OBJ "abdomen01"
P "" 256.150 103.170
...
P "" 233.970 207.290
ENDOBJ
would become
OBJ "insect01"
P "" 210.340 94.840
...
P "" 258.860 185.240
P "" 206.520 94.470
...
P "" 264.690 193.980
P "" 256.150 103.170
...
P "" 233.970 207.290
ENDOBJ
You could then reload the data and export to tps, ntsys or other
supported filetype. Of course, you would also have to delete the image
references.

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,
