Subject: Re: export scaled aligned specimens fails
To: [email protected]
Hi Markus,
Jim kindly (as always) added that option about
one year ago (if not earlier) after I bother him
about it. By the way, thanks a lot, Jim!
I've used it a number of time but not very
recently. I also compared it with doing the same
thing manually in R or xls. I found virtually no
differences but I seem to remember there was a
caveat in the help file about this option (please, give a look at it).
I suspect one cannot export the data as tps file,
simply because, after superimposing and
rescaling, the relationship of the points to the original pictures are lost.
Cheers
Andrea
