The
shapes package contains routines for the statistical analysis
of shapes. Note that you will need to have access to
R on your machine,
and then the shapes package is loaded in using the command
library(shapes) .
Windows and Mac users: after starting R, the package is simply installed
using the menu option Packages -> Install Package(s) from CRAN
and then select shapes from the long list of packages.
Other platforms: see the R web pages.
A very brief set of examples (text file) is available.
