Eigenshape |
This archive contains a series of programs designed to perform an eigenshape analysis on x,y coordinate data from object outlines. Routines include: x,y -> phi(*) transformation, phi(*) -> x,y transformation, eigenshape analysis, and projection of objects into the eigenshape space. Two completely worked example analyses and a user's guide are also provided. |

Eigenshape Models |
This archive contains programs designed to express the results of an eigenshape analysis as a series of heuristic shape models. Two completely worked example analyses and a user's guide are also provided. |

TaxDaddy is intended as an easy to use database for keeping taxonomic information at your fingertips. The program is configured as a flat-file database with many user defined fields for taxonomic names, ranges, distributions, synonymies, descriptions, you name it. If you have enough disk space, you can even incorporate scanned images or other pictures into your data records. |
