FIGURE 5. Fabaeformiscandona valve outlines, illustrating the algorithm used for calculation of the linear distance between corresponding control points. A, F. acuminata, outline of the valve computed with Morphomatica using 24 control points within a bounding box. B, Superimposition of the outlines of three morphotypes (standardised for equal surface), F. acuminata (0), F. balatonica A1b (1) and F. levanderi B1 (2); the lengths of the vectors for the corresponding control points are calculated from the reference outline (0) of F. acuminata.
