Hi Louis,

I don't use BAPS since a long time but are you sure this is a format problem? Did you check that the coordinate file contains as many rows as there are individuals / groups, depending of your analysis, in the data file? Have you missing geographic coordinates (code is two consecutive zeros)? Endly, I was writing coordinate files like this:

161 69

152 63

0 0

-15 76

Hope that can help you

Best regards,

Yvan

Thanks Yvan,

I tried with geographical coordinates now and I sometimes get past the 'coordinates' error message, and receive different messages now.So i understand UTM is not required, nor is scientific number notation.

What error message do you receive?

As far as I remember, you need the coordinates in decimal degrees

Thanks for your answers, Sean and Andres. Ik managed to fix the problem. BAPS output error messages like 'Wrong coordinate dimension! incorrect coordinates' is there is something else wrong with one of the input files.

When all the input files are correct, I still get an enigmatic error message 'Error in baps4cfb (line 22) Error while evaluating uicontrol Callback'.

The remedy I found is doing the analisys as 'Clustering of groups of individuals' first, save the preprocessed data, and then do the 'Spatial clustering of groups' with the preporcessed data + the coordinates file as input. That works!

Hi Louis, I´m working with SNPs data in BAPs and also having troubles when I add the coordinate files. I have the same errors as you said. So, I tried to do what you suggested, using preprocessed data and adding later the coordinates file, but it didn´t work. Coordinates are in decimal degrees. Any other suggestion to solve this problem?

Thanks!

Not really, Patricia, but I can show you my coordinates file so you can check the format. I have a txt file with just 2 columns with the rows in the appropriate order - so no population ID numbers:

5.62934 50.93437

10.02952 61.98421

11.92791 61.91908

11.77830 61.90998

30.88202 70.43802

Many thanks Louis. Finally my problem was with the SNPs dataset, it was too large..., I just reduce a bit the dataset and now BAPs it´s working. Thank you for your answer!
