Console Style Window

nellypledge
Hi all,
I'm in the middle of coding a Java plugin, and I think it would be cool to have a B&W (or black and green would be cooler ;) console that I can print my results to and then read in the user text.  Would there be anyway to hijack cmd promt or something similar?

Just curious as I'd love to have the user/keyboard control for this plugin.  I know I could just create a window and use buttons and a text input etc, but wondered if anybody has seen anything along those lines.

Thanks
Neil

There is nothing exactly like that in ImageJ. However, there are a couple
of things:

1) A Console window that displays stdout and stderr output.
2) A Script Interpreter which accepts commands to execute in the active
script language.

You could maybe utilize one of those? If you simply code up a Java API for
your functionality, you can then use it from the Script Interpreter. Then
you won't have to invent your own console or anything like that.

Regards,
Curtis
