Cell Counter plugin

[lechristophe]

Dear Listers,

I've downloaded the new version of the Cell Counter plugin by Kurt De Vos (
http://rsbweb.nih.gov/ij/plugins/cell-counter.html) and it is great ! I
would only a minor request to the author that could speed up counting: would
it be possible to implement keyboard shortcuts such as "1","2"..."9" to
select the different category counters, so the user doesn't have to
repeatedly mouse out of the image each time he wants to switch to a new
category ?

Thanks for this great tool,

Christophe

There is an updated version of the Cell Counter plugin at

     http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/plugins/cell-counter.html

that supports keyboard shortcuts via a new setType() method that macros
can call. Add the following macros to ImageJ/macros/StartupMacros.txt,
restart ImageJ, and you will be able to change the counter type by
pressing "1", "2", "3", etc.

   macro "Type 1 [1]" {call("CellCounter.setType", "1");}
   macro "Type 2 [2]" {call("CellCounter.setType", "2");}
   macro "Type 3 [3]" {call("CellCounter.setType", "3");}
   macro "Type 4 [4]" {call("CellCounter.setType", "4");}
   macro "Type 5 [5]" {call("CellCounter.setType", "5");}
   macro "Type 6 [6]" {call("CellCounter.setType", "6");}
   macro "Type 7 [7]" {call("CellCounter.setType", "7");}
   macro "Type 8 [8]" {call("CellCounter.setType", "8");}
