Hi,
assuming that your ROIs in the ROI Manager are not renamed, the first
four letters of the ROI names should give you the slice number.
So you could write a macro; roughly like the following:
Create an empty array.
Loop through the ROIs (up to the current number of ROIs in the ROI
Manager, say nRois).
For each index in the list of ROIs:
select the ROI, retrieve the name with Roi.getName() and get the
slice number from the name (see the substring and parseInt commands).
If you have a new slice, combine the rois from the array
roiManager("select", theArray);
roiManager("combine");
Then add them to the ROI Manager and empty the array.
In any case, add the current loop index to the array.
After the loop, also combine the rois from the array and add them.
Finally, delete the first nRois from the ROI Manager.
If you don't need it the rois, just measure, you can measure after
roiManager("combine") and omit adding to the ROI Manager (also, no need
to delete anything).
To extend arrays, you need setOption("ExpandableArrays", true); at the
beginning of the macro. Otherwise, you would have to declare a large
array (e.g. of size nRois) and have a variable for how many array
positions are actually used.
