Dear Caroline,
sure, of course there is...you simply have to apply the formula to compute the distance between two points based on their x,y coordinates...you can easily write a script using that formula (that you can find easily online) to do that on all your observations in Matlab, R or even in Excel... If you prefer an alternative that does that out of the box, I believe there is a program in the IMP package...
Best,
Carmelo

Dear Carmelo and others,

The screen shot is always an option, but I was hoping for a way to modify
the original jpg files that are associated with the tps file.

Is there a way to automatically calculate the distance between just two
landmarks - similar to calculating the perimeter for a 2D space?  This
might be one way of achieving what I need!

Thanks for your input!

Caroline

Dear Caroline,
if I understood correctly what you need, I guess you have two options:
- in tpsDig2 the "Save screen as..." option in the "File" menu
- to print your current screen (under Windows normally you have a "Stamp"
key in the keyboard)
Best,
Carmelo

 Dear MORPHMET group,

I am a new user of the program tpsDIG2, and have a general question that I
hope you can help me address.

I need to make a linear measurement of a single character on a series of
specimen photographs. I have set the scale bar and made the measurement
for
several of the specimens, and I see that the measurement for each gets
added to the tps file. However, I would like to save  an image of the the
trace of the measurement (i.e. the black line) on the photograph, so I can
have a permanent record of how the measurement was made. This black line
does not appear to save on the image file - when I click to the next
specimen, and then go back to the original specimen, the trace is gone.

Is there a way to save the image of the measurement's trace? Or, is there
a
better way to save a (visual) record of a linear measurement?

Thanks very much for any help!
