[SC-MorphLab] a few morpheus questions

[David Beamer]

Hello

I have recently begun to use Morpheus as part of a work flow to rapidly 
produce linear measurements from tps files. Students plot landmarks in 
tpsDig and the last two landmarks (#11 & #12) are points on a ruler 1 mm 
apart.

To produce the measurements the tps file is imported into Morpheus and 
the following command is issued: SUPER BSC 11 12. My understanding is 
that as long as the distance between these points is 1 mm then issuing 
the following command: MEASUREMENT ADD DIST svl 1 2 should produce 
measurements in mm's. Can you verify that this is correct? My testing 
suggests that this is true but using the measure tool in tpsDig is very 
touchy and it is hard to get the exact same number reported in Morpheus. 
I feel pretty confident in the measurements but having verification that 
this method is sound would ease my mind!

Following the manual I can make a new tps file from images in Morpheus 
but I am unclear if landmarks can be plotted in it as well. Is this 
possible? We run tpsDig in Wine but if we could do the same operation in 
Morpheus it would reduce the number of software packages in the work flow.

The final issue may be related to the fact that all of our lab computers 
are running Linux (Ubuntu) and this is the report of java -version:

java version "1.8.0_201"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_201-b09)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.201-b09, mixed mode).

The third mouse button does indeed move the image up/down and left/right 
however the first and more importantly the second mouse buttons do not 
function. Is there another way to zoom the image in or out besides the 
second mouse button?

thanks for your time
