Update for read.morphologika function. This code will be added to geomorph on our next package update. This update fixes problems with message “object ‘incoords’ not found”. Can be used with example data set mydata_readmorphologika. Here, I provide sample data in the Morphologika format composed of two specimens with 50 landmarks each, and with four data attributes. To import data attributes use matrix = TRUE, and make sure Morphologika attribute tags: ‘[labels]’ and ‘[labelvalues]’ are present, else use matrix = FALSE.The latter imports an array of landmarks only. Please see the geomorph manual for use of read.morphologika.
For example:
> setwd(“C:/Programming”)
> file<-"C:/Programming/mydata_readmorphologika.txt"
> mydata<-read.morphologika(file=file,matrix=T)
> head(mydata$dataframe)

on the other hand, “mydata$coords” provides one only with the landmarks coordinates.
