Hi Andrea,

I use the software Shape 1.3 to calculate elliptic Fourier descriptors
of specimen shapes. It is freely available here:

Maybe what you want is Elliptical Fourier Analysis? It usesharmonics to

    describe outlines and most stats programs will run it.

    Dear morphometricians,
    please, any suggestion about software for geometric morphometric
    analyses

of shapes without labelled landmarks? I mean something like potatochips

    outlines, where there is no single 'homologous' landmark. I seem to
    remember that there are methods for the analysis of outlines that, with
    some limitations, can be used for this, and also extensions of

superimposition methods for unlabelled landmarks, but I know verylittle

    about it and nothing on software availability.

    Thanks a lot in advance for your help.
    Cheers

    Andrea
