VertFigure - generate schematic illustrations of vertebral columns

Copyright 2013-2014 Mike Taylor mike@miketaylor.org.uk

Licensed under the Gnu General Public Licence v3.0

--

This project contains VertFigure, a program for generating schematic illustrations of vertebral columns, visually similar to that of Wedel (2009:supplementary figure 1). It was first written to make Wedel and Taylor (2013a: figure 9) and then re-used to make Wedel and Taylor (2013b: figure 2).

Input is in the VCD (Vertebral Column Description) format, which is defined for the first time in this project, and documented in POD. Two such inputs (the ones we used for the 2013 papers) are bifurcation.vcd and pbj.vcd, and can be found in the examples area.

These files are translated into SVG by the bin/VertFigure script. This is written in Perl, using the SVG library.

You can play with this software online, without downloading or building anything, at http://vertfigure.svpow.com/cgi/VertFigure.html
