Analyse Particles - plot output?

[Michael Doube-2]

Hi all

I'd like to visualise the directions and lengths of vascular canals /
marrow space of trabecular bone (in 2D) as you might visualise field
lines.  I thought that taking the major axes of the ellipses calculated
by Analyze Particles, and plotting them in a new window could be a nice
solution.  Has anyone written anything like this, or should I delve into
Java myself?

Cheers

Mike

The shape descriptor plugin yields a polar plot with the frequency of  
orientations.

Gary,

I've got the hang of it now.  What is the best way to call shape
descriptor from a macro, sending it specific values for exclusion on
particle size and requested output types?  I've tried the macro recorder
but it doesn't record details within your plugin!  Also, I found that
shape descriptor worked a bit more predictably after compiling my own
binary from the source. (ImageJ 1.35g, Java 1.5.0_04, WinXP SP2)

Cheers

Mike
