TWO FORTRAN II PROGRAMS FOR ANALYSIS OF MORPHOMETRIC DATA

Input Data Preparation for VPLOT 



The following section describes the preparation of control 

 and data cards for VPLOT, using the sarhe conventions 

 as in the previous section describing the input for DASAN. 

 Unlike the previous section, however, a third group of 

 control cards is used. These Group III controls follow each 

 data deck in the run and, like the Group II controls, con- 

 tain infromation which affects only the data deck which 

 they accompany. The major groups of cards appearing in 

 a VPLOT run which contains two data decks are ordered 

 as follows: 



Program Source Deck 



Group-I Control Cards 



Group-II Control Cards 



Data Deck 



Group-Ill Control Cards 



Group-II Control Cards (for following data) 



Data Deck 



Group-Ill Control Cards 



FINISH Card 



Group I Control Cards 



1. (1) : The number of variables in the input data 



array (from 3 to 100), including the column 

 of specimen identification numbers. Punch 

 in columns 1-3. 



2. ( 1 ) : The number of variables in the internal data 



array (from 3 to 100), including the column 

 of specimen identification numbers. Punch in 

 columns 1-3. 



3. (1-9): Names of variables in the internal data array, 



with each name not to exceed six characters. 

 Punch in columns 1-72 on each card, 12 

 names per card, with each name centered in 

 a field of 6 columns, such that the name in 

 the nth field is for the nth column in the 

 array. 



Group II Control Cards 



4. (2) : Any name or sample-identification informa- 



tion to be printed at the top of each output 

 page. Punch in columns 1-72 of first card 

 and columns 1-18 of second card. Both cards 

 must be present even if blank. 



5. (1) : The number of specimens (from 3 to 97) in 



the input data array, punched in columns 1-3. 

 The maximum number is 97 rather than the 

 dimensioned 99, because the cards containing 

 the minima (Instruction 11) and maxima 

 (Instruction 12) are read in as data for two 

 additional specimens. 



6. (1): The number of plotting groups (from 1 to 



999 ) . A plotting group is a series of .v and y 

 variables such that each .v is plotted against 

 every y, as explained in Instruction 7. Punch 

 in columns 1-3. 



7. ( 1 ) : Information for setting up a plotting group 



(Instruction 6), to be punched as follows: 



(a) Columns 1-4:0: The column-identifica- 

 tion numbers of the y-variables (from 1 to 20 

 numbers), with each number in a field of 2 

 card columns. 



(b) Columns 43-62: The column-identifica- 

 tion numbers of the x-variables (from 1 to 10 

 numbers) , with each number in a field of 2 

 card columns. 



(c) Columns 67-68: The number of y-vari- 

 ables in the plotting group (the number of 

 values punched for Instruction 7a) . 



(d) Columns 69-70 : The number of x-vari- 

 ables in the plotting group (the number of 

 values punched for Instruction 7b) . 



(e) Column 72: Punch a zero if this is the first 

 plotting group preceding the data deck ; punch 

 / if this is not the first plotting group and it 

 follows the data deck. (See Instruction 18.) 



8. ( 1 ) : The number of cards (from 1 to 5) which are 



required to specify the format for reading in 

 the data deck. Punch in column 3. 



9. (1-5) : The format, in FORTRAN II, for the read- 



ing in of data cards. (See Instruction 21 in 

 the description of DASAN.) Punch in col- 

 umns 1-72 of each of the cards needed. 



Data Deck 



10. See Instructions 21 and 37 in the description 

 of DASAN. The specimen numbers, which 

 form the first column of the data array and 

 which must be read in, are not used by 

 VPLOT. Rather, the specimens are assigned 

 consecutive numbers in their read-in order, 

 beginning with No. 1, and it is these consecu- 

 tive read-in numbers which appear as the 

 points in the output scatter diagrams. 



Group III Control Cards 



11. ( 1- ) : Cards containing a minimum value for each 



variable in the input array (see also Instruc- 

 tion 17). The coordinates of the origin of each 

 bivariate scatter diagram are determined by
