This section provides brief explanations of how MorphoJ is organized, and of the kinds of files it can use. This information is necessary for working with MorphoJ and for understanding this documentation.
A first group these are concepts concerning the collections of data used by MorphoJ: projects, datasets and data matrices.
Additional concepts are concerning the variables used by MorphoJ to provide external information relating to the landmark configurations that are alanlyzed. These are identifiers, classifiers and covariates.
Moreover, there are important distinctions about the types of symmetry in morphometric data. The user is asked about these when importing data.
