Read multiple tps files to obtain landmark coordinates and combine them into a single array
readmulti.tps(filelist, ...)
A vector containing the file paths to all the tps files to be compiled
other arguments to be passed to readland.tps
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.
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.
