Procrustes superimposition of landmark datasets with some missing values
Description
This function carries out a generalized procrustes superimposition on all fully complete specimens and produces a consensus configuration (using "Shapes" procGPA). Each incomplete specimen is then individually rotated and aligned with the consensus configuration based on any landmarks are available (using "Shapes" procOPA). Data is returned superimposed.
Usage
align.missing(X)

Returns An l X 2 (or 3) X n array of coordinate data
