Hi Sandra,
I had a similar problem with MorphoJ, I understood from Pr. Klingenberg
that we should precise in input the landmarks dimension
So for example, for 3D data your write LM3 = number of landmarks , but
for 2D you write LM= number of landmarks
Did you try TPS format ?
For 3D, imagine two shapes described with 4 landmarks
*LM3* =4
10 12 30
15 30 -45
12 23 -26
100 78 -34
ID=Shape1
* LM3*= 4
...
...
...
...
ID = shape2
For 2D, imagine two shapes described with 4 landmarks
*LM*=4
10 12
15 30
12 23
117 77
ID=Shape1
*LM*=4
. .
. .
. .
. .
ID=Shape2
The coordinates are separated with tabulation (\t)
I hope that's help you
Best,

Dear all,
For my diploma thesis I work on skull shapes of Desmognathus species.
Therefore I get my landmark data with a reflex microscope and saved
the data for every specimen in an extra excel file. I took 20 dorsal
landmarks and 23 ventral landmarks and put them all in one file.
After that I saved the data for every specimen from this excel files
in a tab delimited text file and put them into the file converter, to
create a text file for MorphoJ.
Now here is my problem: there seems to be no depth in my data on
MorphoJ. The x and y coordinates look right, but all z data are on a
single line. Does anybody have an idea what is going wrong?
I have tried a lot of things to resolve this problem and want to list
them shortly:
- look at the data in a coordinate system (x and y, x and z, y
and z)
in excel, they look right and there is a clear depth
- saving in different txt file types – nothing changes
- retyped the z-data
- different excel types (97-2000, 2003, 2010)
- only dorsal views, only ventral views - they are flat, too
- some data are negative, so I just added 10 or something, to get
positive values
Did anybody else have had a similar problem like me? Or did anybody
have an idea to resolve the problem? I would be very thankful, because
now I´m quite despaired.
Thank you a very lot!
With best regards,
Sandra Triepel
