Subject: [SC-MorphLab] Issue with the GPSA Software
Message-ID: <ce58ce82aa6cb4c28b7965687e36d8c5@stud.hs-bremen.de>

Dear Members of the FSU Morphometrics Lab,

As a student of Biomimetics at the CUoas Bremen i am planning on using 
the GPSA software you developed and kindly provide on your website for a 
research Project on the Morphology of the femur-tibia joint of carausius 
morosus.

My goal is to compare the joint across different growth stages to assess 
whether the scaling of local morphology deviates in any way from the 
scaling of the joint in a global scope. For this, besides a conventional 
landmark-based approach, your software seems very promising in offering 
an additional method of analysis.

However, when trying to learn the software with the sample Datasets, 
also provided by you, I encountered an issue very early on. After 
selecting the prototype surface and one of the reference surfaces (for 
example male_1) and starting the gpsa, the program correctly creates the 
mean surface but then stops with an error message along the likes of: 
?Error generating Heatmap, please see console log for further 
information?

It would be of great help to me if you had any idea on what the issue 
might be.
Additional Information at the end of this Mail.

Thank you very much for your time in advance!

Best regards,
