Dear Morphometricians,
We have uploaded version 2.1.3 of geomorph to CRAN
<http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/geomorph/>. The windows and mac
binaries have been compiled and the tarball is available.
In order to make this package the most accessible to the morphometrics
community, and given the limitations set by CRAN in how often we can
provide updates (usually every 6 months), we are now providing a beta
release via GitHub. Once you have installed the developer tools required to
build R packages by source (see CRAN FAQs for details), to install the
latest version of geomorph, simply type in the R console:
library(devtools)
install_github("EmSherratt/geomorph")
New features in the latest version include:
* a new plotOutliers() function to identify potential outliers in
Procrustes coordinates. More on how this works here
<http://www.geomorph.net/2015/02/tips-tricks-6-exploring-data-for.html>
* a new define.links() function for enhanced plotting of shapes (making
wireframes sensu morphologika)
* digitzing of 3D landmark data on mesh files is now *even* easier!
Selecting vertices to use as landmarks is now as simple as point and click.
See a demo here <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VK6bLbb4ipY>.
Other changes and fixes are detailed here
<http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/geomorph/NEWS> and here
<http://www.geomorph.net/2015/02/geomorph-update-213-now-available.html>.
As always, the help guide
<https://www.academia.edu/7244604/User_Guide_to_Geomorph_v2.1> has been
updated to reflect these new
Finally, Version 2.1.3 has a small bug in readland.tps()that unfortunately
slipped through the cracks. So if you are using this function, you can also
download the tarball of beta 2.1.4 as above, or install the readland.tps
function like so:
Download: https://github.com/EmSherratt/geomorph/blob/master/R/readland.tps.R
in R, type source("readland.tps").
