DrawWing
By Adam Tofilski
|
This newer version
is able to automatically detect all important points on a honey bee forewing and to calculate
cubital index, discoidal shift and some other indices.
The new version is not under GNU license any more, but it is (and will remain) free for non
commercial use. The old GNU version is still available for both
Linux and Windows.
There is an add-on spreadsheet known as MorphPlot, that will work with DrawWing, further down the page.

BIBBA
file collection
|
There is a collection of useful Morphometric software that is as a zipped folder
of several files that can be downloaded in one operation. Many of these have been created
by Albert Knight on behalf of BIBBA. For technical reasons, that are due to Internet servers,
the original filenames have been changed to all lower case, but have not been modified in
any other way.
