Advice for GUI plugin development

otills
Hi All,

I am very new to writing code etc so I apologise if I have overlooked something obvious. I've been learning Java and am starting to get comfortable with creating functional swing interfaces, however I'm encountering some issues when I try and get these functioning within ImageJ (in NetBeans). I have read and been using the Writing Image J Plugins Tutorial and this has been a real help.

I am using Image J to develop an educational resource whereby students will be presented with a GUI which allows them to choose a treatment, this will then call up appropriate images sequences which they then perform measurements (size/count) using. These measurements will be entered into a table and a plot facility will allow them to visualise the results of their experiment. My plan is to achieve this by creating Image J plugins, however I have several questions -

Firstly,  is what I describe (very briefly) achievable using Image J plugins (Image J seems to largely be made up of plugins so I couldn't find a reason why this shouldn't be feasible)?

I've been using Swing to create GUI's as I found this creates a nicer looking interface (this may well just be my inexperience using AWT), however I see that PlugInFrame is AWT based and if I try to bring the Swing designed windows into a PlugInFrame this does not work (perhaps not surprisingly). Therefore should I be switching to AWT for this project or can I continue using Swing and get Image J functions working with this? What are the advantages/disadvantages of using the Image J PlugInFrame as opposed to my own JFrame?

I would also like to embed the Image J image windows within a window to provide some control over the layout of  various components (i.e. a control bar for play/pause/measure options positioned next to the window – I was going to hide the main Image J window to provide control over the features available).  Is this possible and if so what is the best way of achieving it?

Many thanks for reading and I would appreciate any advice you can provide.

Cheers,
Oli

It can be achieved, but it would be hard to do exactly the way you want it
to. The MDI approach (i.e. decorate ImageJ's ImageWindows) did not work
for me, as ImageCanvas does not implement everything for a well-behaved
AWT component. Besides, there are still problems with mixing AWT and Swing
components (ImageJ is almost completely relying on AWT).

The common strategy is to use different windows for the Swing stuff and
control the AWT windows containing the images (and control the plugins
working on them) through the code triggered by the Swing components.

The current design of ImageJ does not allow that, really. There are hacks
e.g. to make an MDI interface for web applets, but they all have their
shortcomings because the architecture of ImageJ really calls for SDI (i.e.
all windows and control components are in separate windows).

So in the short run, I would suggest to keep your GUI in a window separate
from the images and interact with the images and plugins via the API
provided by ij.IJ and ij.WindowManager.

Johannes

This was my fear. I guess I just wanted the added structure/control that
MDI would provide.
I suppose careful placement of individual windows might provide a good
enough alternative.

Is it possible to anchor windows (Swing and AWT including StackWindows to
particular
positions on the screen (with some standardisation for use with different
screen resolutions)?

Great, this was as I suspected.

You can place windows using the setLocation() method, and you can add
listeners for certain events.  Unfortunately, there seems no good way to
track window movements, but I'd recommend against enforcing a given
arrangement in any case (it can be really annoying when software does
that). Better to do it automatically upon startup and maybe have a button
to re-arrange.

hi everyone
I'm a phd student in vet histopathology
and I' m approaching fractal analysis,
I'd like to know if is possible to define the scaling window in
imagej, something like fanal+, developed in

Hi Carlo,
If you are talking about the box counting command in IJ, it has not been
implemented yet. Currently you need to define what are the box sizes used in
the analysis and the slope will be computed over that range.

It might be useful to define the ranges over which the plot approaches a line
considering the resolution of the image as well as the size of the structural
units in the objects you are analysing (and the size of the object of course).
You will find that for most biological objects that might be fractal (in an
operational sense) the "fractal regime" spans about one or at most 2 orders of
magnitude (for obvious reasons, but that is rarely discussed in relation to
what people seem to want to analyse).

Regards
Gabriel

Align images by ROI

Riccardo Cabbri
In reply to this post by carlo bianco
Hi everybody,
My goal is to use ImageJ/Fiji to compare images of the same object taken
in different times, so I want to align them using ROI.
I found this http://fiji.sc/wiki/index.php/Align_Image_by_line_ROI that
is almost pefect but can't handle RGB images.
Are there any alternatives?
Thanks in advance!

Re: Align images by ROI

Stephan Saalfeld
Hi Riccardo,

have you checked this:

http://fiji.sc/wiki/index.php/Landmark_Correspondences

?  Instead of a line you would use points, but that shouldn't make it
more difficult.  The benefit is that the plugin offers more choices for
the desired transformation model and that it can handle all types of
images.

Best,
Stephan

Re: Align images by ROI

Riccardo Cabbri
Hi Stephan,
thanks for the advice!
Your plugin works very well, but I don't have so many secure
correspondence points on my images, so I am thinking about the
possibility of converting some lines in a group of points.
Do you think that a couple of lines would generate enough points for the
plugin?(maybe it is possible to have one point for every pixel of the
line).
Is there a way to do this in imagej?
Many thanks!
Riccardo

Re: Align images by ROI

Stephan Saalfeld
In reply to this post by Stephan Saalfeld
Riccardo,

a single line segment makes only two points.  You can just set the start
and end-point of the line and then estimate a translation (shift only),
rigid transformation (shift and rotation), or similarity transformation
(shift, rotation, and isotropic scale).  For higher order
transformations, you need more points that are not on a single line.

If you have more than one line segment, you can convert them to start
and end points each and you will be fine.

Read about the Roi methods---it's probably fairly easy to do.

Best,
Stephan

Re: Align images by ROI

Riccardo Cabbri
Probably I didn't explain well my problem in the previous emails.
I don't need higher order transformation, shift and rotation are enough.
This is why I'm trying to find a way to register my images in the
simpliest and fastest method possible with a few ROI.
The plugin that is closer to my needs is "Align images by line ROI" but
with RGB support.
Maybe there's nothing like this out there...but why not give it a try in
this super-helpful mailinglist?
Many thanks for your time Stephan and thanks to anyone will answer!

Generally it is a better idea to send such mails to the mailing list. I am
often too busy to take care of all the Fiji issues, but thankfully others
can help, too, if you let them.

Besides, if I resolve a problem but only one person knows about it, it is
a less good use of my time than if there is a public record.

In another thread [*1*], Stephan Saalfeld pointed to the Landmark
Correspondences plugin:

        http://fiji.sc/Landmark_Correspondences

It is not only more powerful than the Align by Line ROI plugin, but it can
do exactly the same things, too.

By selecting two points in each image (which is basically the same as
selecting a line) you have all you need to run the Landmark
Correspondences plugin. It will ask you for a source image (which is the
one that will be transformed) and a template image (onto which it will be
transformed). The transformation method does not matter since you only
provide two points and there is only one solution. Same for alpha and mesh
resolution.

The only thing to be careful about is the transformation class: if you
choose "Rigid", it will only translate and rotate, but not scale.
"Similarity" will scale, too.

In case that it is more convenient for you to let the user choose line
ROIs over point ROIs, feel free to use this macro to convert all line ROIs
in all open images to point ROIs:

-- snip --
function lineToPointROI() {
        if (selectionType() != 5)
                return; // only works on line ROIs
        getSelectionCoordinates(x, y);
        makeSelection("point", x, y);
}

for (id = 1; id <= nImages(); id++) {
        selectImage(id);
        lineToPointROI();
}
-- snap --

Johannes

Re: Help with Align image by line ROI

Riccardo Cabbri
I was making mistakes in selecting points, so the plugin "Landmark
Correspondences" returned that I didn't have enough points.
This is why I was stuck with the idea that I needed to use "Align image
with line ROI".
Now always works as expected.
So sorry for my mistake and for bothering you.
Many thanks to all,
Riccardo

Great!

No need to be sorry, you did not bother me. It actually bothered me that I
did not have time to work on this, especially since it turned out to be a
very small change in the plugin. For what it's worth, I uploaded an
updated version that does not only support color images, but it also has
checkboxes to turn off scaling or rotation if needed, thanks to Michel
Teussink.

Ciao,
Johannes
