Thanks for the help, Carmelo! To clarify, I understand that landmarks have coordinates that can allow for calculation of distance between them. However, for graphical purposes, I was hoping tpsDIG2 has a mechanism that would allow me to visualize that distance (i.e. a physical line representing minimum distance between the landmarks). This way I can avoid exporting the files to photoshop, plus, the line representing minimum distance between the landmarks would be more exacting and reproducible.
Thanks again for your input. Very helpful.
