Using R for morphometrics can overcome problems in familiarizing oneself withvarious software languages, converting data and results every time another software is required, and adapting and converting the results to go further. With a single environment, shape analysis can be performed from data acquisition to data analysis, and the results can be presented in the form of graphs, bothaccurate and esthetic.
