Dear ImageJ users,
I am attempting to streamline an ImageJ macro which will be available as a resource to other labs, but before I can do that I need to simplify the output so that it will be easy to understand. After performing a particle analysis I get a summary table with the following five columns: Slice, Count, Total Area, Average Size, and Area Fraction. I am attempting to modify the results table to:
1. Display only the “Slice” and “Total Area” columns
2. Rename the “Slice” column to “Sample”.
From what I can gather, summary tables can be modified though the Analyze>Set Measurements dialogue, but only to a limited extent. For anything beyond that I will have to use the setResult function to export the summary table into the results table with the desired modifications. I have tried to figure this out from the “Calculate Convexity and Solidarity” and “Bat Cochlea Volume (19K)” macros, as well as the basic ImageJ macro tutorial (
http://fiji.sc/wiki/index.php/Introduction_into_Macro_Programming), but without luck. Can someone suggest how to modify a small script to accomplish 1 and 2, above?
Below is the example macro for copying contents of the Summary table to the Results table that I am trying to work from:
run("Bat Cochlea Volume (19K)");
setThreshold(1, 255);
run("Analyze Particles...", "summarize stack");
selectWindow("Summary of "+getTitle);
text = getInfo("window.contents");
lines = split(text, "\n");
labels = split(lines[0], "\t"); run("Clear Results");
for (i=1; i<lines.length; i++) {
items=split(lines[i], "\t");
setResult("Label", i-1, items[0]);
for (j=1; j<labels.length; j++) {
setResult(labels[j], i-1, items[j]);
}
}
updateResults();
