Apology and a question

[Jon Harman]

Hi,

In a previous post I complained about ImageJ zooming behavior. It turns
out that my issues with zooming had been fixed in August by adding the
"zoom indicator".

My question:
In playing with the new "Action Tool" functionality I tried adding a <
"previous image" and a > "next image macros.  However I can't get the
previous image macro to work.  This is not a problem with the action
tool, I can't seem to pass the argument "backward" to the Open Next
routine.  What am I doing wrong?

Jon


    macro "Prevous Image Action Tool - C037T4d14<" {
        run("Open Next","backward");
   }

    macro "Next Image Action Tool - C037T4d14>" {
        run("Open Next");
   }

You hold down the alt key and select File>Open Next to open the
previous image. In a macro, call setKeyDown("alt") to simulate holding
down the alt key.

    macro "Prevous Image Action Tool - C037T4d14<" {
        setKeyDown("alt");
        run("Open Next");
   }

Action tools require ImageJ v1.37t or later.

I was wondering about the zooming problem. Something I have had at the
back of my mind for some time and now may be a good time to mention it.
It would be nice if you held the shift key down and used the zoom tool
it would allow you to make a selection then "Zoom to selection".

I've not given this much of a test, but something like this hacked from
the "line tool" macro:

macro "Zoom-to-selection Tool " {
        requires("1.30l");
        getCursorLoc(x, y, z, flags);
        xstart = x; ystart = y;
        x2=x; y2=y;        
        while (true) {
            getCursorLoc(x, y, z, flags);
            if (flags&16==0) {
                 makeRectangle(xstart, ystart,x-xstart, y-ystart);
                run("To Selection");
                exit;
            }
            if (x!=x2 || y!=y2)
                makeRectangle(xstart, ystart, x-xstart, y-ystart);
            x2=x; y2=y;
            wait(10);
        };
    }

This will be in ImageJ 1.38a, due by the end of the week.
