The New Morpheus et al.

PLATFORM-INDEPENDENT SOFTWARE FOR MORPHOMETRIC ANALYSIS

M_vis is a standalone program used in the development of the visualization routines for the new Morpheus et al. In its first release, it supports the flexible plotting of multidimensional morphometric data sets, and enhancements are planned to include pairwise object plotting with vector and spline graphics, principal components plots and visualizations, regression plots, etc. Ultimately, these features will be incorporated into the new Morpheus program, and it is uncertain if, at that time, m_vis will continue as a standalone program or will simply have all of its features available in the new Morpheus. In the meantime, it has proved very useful for making rendered plots of morphometric data and is being released to the morphometrics community for general use.

For now, report any problems or suggestions to the dslice(AT)morphometrics(DOT)org. Include the term "m_vis" somewhere in the subject, e.g., "m_vis: greatest thing since sliced bread". Please be patient. After this release, I must turn my attention to any number of projects I have been neglecting, but I will collect your messages and deal with them as time permits.
