What is the AAMToolbox?
We wish to understand how the biological organs grow to particular shapes. For this we need a tool to help us think through what we expect to see, i.e. model growth (GFtbox), and we need to make measurements of real biological organs to test our expectations (hypotheses).
However, the shapes of biological organs rarely make measurement simple - how do you measure the three dimensional (3D) shape of an ear, leaf or Snapdragon flower? The AAMToolbox is designed to measure the shapes of organs relative to each other. It can
