The Package

Software modules
The Canoco for Windows package consists of several software modules:

• Canoco for Windows: to specify and calculate ordination analyses, and to view and plot the results. The Canoco for Windows module is truly interactive and utilizes the rich Microsoft Windows® user interface, with context-sensitive online help at each step.
   
• WCanoImp: to import spreadsheet data.
   
• CanoDraw 4.0 for Windows: to graph all basic types of ordination diagrams and to fully explore ordination results. CanoDraw is launched directly from the Canoco for Windows module.
   
• Canoco 4.5 Console Version: to run Canoco in batch for simulation studies and tailor-made applications. Also for users who want to stay with the Canoco 3.1 textual user interface. 
     
• CanoMerge: to merge column-wise two or more data tables, to export data in TAB-separated format, or to remove rare species from data tables.
   
• PrCoord: to compute metric multidimensional scaling (= principal coordinates analysis, PCO) for specified dataset and to support calculation of distance-based RDA.

Extras
The Canoco for Windows packages comes with:

• revised 500 page Reference Manual (ter Braak and Šmilauer, 2002) with a Getting started chapter, an in-depth, up-to-date explanation of the ordination methods and a completely new chapter (80 pages) describing many real-life applications of the Canoco program. Detailed documentation of CanoDraw for Windows is also part of this manual. An index is included to help you finding the information you need.
• new licenses of Canoco for Windows 4.5 come with the extended 266 page book Unimodal models to relate species to environment (ter Braak, 1996) with collected papers on ordination.
• a large set of files with real-life data sets and their analysis.
