This is a small, useful program for transforming output files from
Ml-Morph, converting them from
.xml to .tps format. In other words, it is an xml to tps converter.
Ml-Morph is a machine-learning-based software tool that enables the extraction of the shape of individuals of interest using automatically placed coordinates. With these shapes, researchers can conduct subsequent Geometric Morphometrics analyses. Although it is a powerful tool with a high degree of accuracy, researchers may sometimes want to adjust the position of specific landmarks, add curves to capture additional variation, or include a scale for each individual to explore the effects of allometry in their dataset.
This small application is cross-platform as it is developed in both
Python and R. Its execution and installation
are straightforward; we have included usage instructions and listed the
necessary libraries to ensure it runs successfully in either language.
