readmulti.tps: Read and combine multiple tps files

In geomorph: Geometric Morphometric Analyses of 2D and 3D Landmark Data

Read and combine multiple tps files

Description

Read multiple tps files to obtain landmark coordinates and combine them into a single array

Usage

readmulti.tps(filelist, ...)

Arguments

filelist	A vector containing the file paths to all the tps files to be compiled
...	other arguments to be passed to readland.tps

Details

This is a wrapper of readland.tps to allow reading landmark coordinates, in 2D or 3D, from several tps files , and compiling them into an array for proceeding with GM procedures.

The arguments specID and negNA of readland.tps can be directly set through this function. Note that if specID is set to either "None" or "ID", a check for duplicate specimen names is not possible and specimens will be numbered with 1:N, where N the total number of specimens.

Value

Function returns a (p x k x n) array, where p is the number of landmark points, k is the number of landmark dimensions (2 or 3), and n is the total number of specimens across all tps files included in the folder read.
