Can't find data files for tutorial?

[j-a-thia]

Hi Emma,

A friend of mine recently suggested I check out geomorph to analyse some morphometric data I'm collecting for my thesis. I've never done morphometrics before so was working thorugh the user manual.

However, I can't find the datafiles, e.g. .tps or .nts extensions.

> mydata <- readland.tps("ratland.tps", specID = "ID")
Error in file(file, "r") : cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In file(file, "r") :
  cannot open file 'ratland.tps': No such file or directory

It's a working directory issue so I was trying to find where they were so I could put them in my WD. When I tried searching for them (specifically by name, e.g. "ratlands.tps") on my computer I couldn't find them.

I'm on a Windows using RStudio, installed the packaged and used library(geomorph) to open the package. Have I missed something? Otherwise would you be able to make all the files for the tutorial available?

Thanks heaps, and regards.

Hi,

Yes you are misunderstanding the user manual. That code is showing you how
you would input a file of those kinds, as exemplified by the "screenshot"
example of the file in a square. There are no files for you to read in. I
suggest running the examples that use the example datasets saved within
geomorph.
