Stubbs et al. Morphological analysis - Semi-Landmark Data (sliders file)

This simple NTS. file describes which of the 74 landmarks used in this study are sliding (semi-landmarks). The file is required to compute aligned, Procrustes transformed, coordinates; together with the associated raw landmark data file. The file was created in TPSUTIL. To create aligned coordinates both this file and the raw landmark data should be input in TPSRELW using the chord – min d2 sliding method.

本研究共使用74个标志点，这款简易NTS文件（NTS file）将说明其中哪些为滑动标志点（半标志点，semi-landmarks）。该文件需与配套的原始标志点数据文件配合使用，方可计算经对齐、普克尔斯泰（Procrustes）变换后的坐标。本文件通过TPSUTIL软件生成。若需生成对齐后的坐标，需将本文件与原始标志点数据文件一同输入TPSRELW软件，并采用弦长最小d2滑动法（chord – min d2 sliding method）进行处理。
