Dialog.addRadioButtonGroup labels alignment

[Kaiming Yin]

Dear guys,

Can I ask if I want to add a Dialog.addRadioButtonGroup in my panel, and
the button group has four choices with labels at different lengths for each
choice. How can I align the four labels to the left in one column please?
For example, currently I'm using command lines as below:

items = newArray("ImageJ                              ", "ImageJ
v1.52e                ", "ImageJ v1.52a to ImageJ v1.52e       ", "  ImageJ
v1.50 to ImageJ v1.51 to ImageJ v1.52e");

Dialog.addRadioButtonGroup("             Versions:", items, 4, 1,
"ImageJ                              ");

Currently I use spaces to try to align all the labels but seems quite
clumsy. Is there any other way to do this?

Thanks,
Kaiming

Dear Kaiming,

Not sure what the problem is. Without all the spaces the labels align to the left as well see attached image.

Dear Kees,

Sorry for my unclear question. Here I attach the command lines I ran in a
macro in FIJI and also the output panel in attached image. I'm running
Ubuntu 18.04 and FIJI version is ImageJ 2.0.0-rc-68/1.52e; java 1.8.0_66
[64-bit].

Command lines in macro:

Dialog.create("Different ImageJ versions");
Dialog.setInsets(0, 20, 0);
items = newArray("ImageJ                              ", "ImageJ
v1.52e                ", "ImageJ v1.52a to ImageJ v1.52e       ", "  ImageJ
v1.50 to ImageJ v1.51 to ImageJ v1.52e");
Dialog.addRadioButtonGroup("             Versions:", items, 4, 1,
"ImageJ                              ");
Dialog.show();

Thanks,
Kaiming

Dear Kaiming,

Do you want to centre the menu labels, as that is what your image shows ?

It seems there is a difference in the way the menu is displayed in Windows compared to Linux. In Windows (same versions as you use) the spaces have no effect on the menu labels as I showed in my previous post, only the title "Versions" is positioned different when the spaces are there compared with code without spaces. All menu labels are aligned to the left (and I must say I also would prefer this).

Best wishes

Dear Kees,

Thanks for your reply and I also want to align all menu labels to the left.
I don't know how to do it with Linux version FIJI and the only way I see is
to add spaces to adjust the positions of labels little by little which is
time consuming. So I wonder if there are any parameters which can define
the position/alignment of labels in ButtonGroup or even other similar tools
which need a list of labels too?

Thanks,
Kaiming

If you want to align to the left, just delete all the spaces

Dialog.create("Different ImageJ versions"); Dialog.setInsets(0, 20, 0);
items = newArray("ImageJ", "ImageJv1.52e", "ImageJ v1.52a to ImageJ v1.52e","ImageJv1.50 to ImageJ v1.51 to ImageJ v1.52e");
Dialog.addRadioButtonGroup("Versions:", items, 4, 1,"ImageJ");
Dialog.show();

I tried without spaces, and in Linux-FIJI it looks like to align the labels
centrally, see attached image.

Dear Kaiming,

would you mind trying if using script parameters [1] works for you in Linux?

Using the following in any script (in a single line):

     #@ String (choices={"ImageJ", "ImageJv1.52e", "ImageJ v1.52a to
ImageJ v1.52e","ImageJv1.50 to ImageJ v1.51 to ImageJ v1.52e"},
style="radioButtonVertical") versions

will generate a dialog similar to yours (see attachment).

Cheers
Jan

Hi Kaiming & everybody,

the justification of the labels of Checkboxes (The RadioButtonGroup is
named CheckboxGroup in Java) in a GridLayout depends on the operating
system; I can confirm that they are center-aligned also on Linux Ubuntu
16.04 (Java 1.8); it does not look nice.
On my old Mac (OS X 10.6, Java 1.6) the labels are nicely left-justified.
This is not controlled by ImageJ code, it depends how Java AWT
implements its interaction with the toolkit of the operating system.

Also the image on the Java documentation page for Checkboxes
   https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/awt/Checkbox.html
does not look like nice alignment...

I guess that the alignment would be fine with a GridBagLayout instead of
a GridLayout, but then the columns of a multi-column RadioButtonGroup
would have different width. I think that this would be also undesirable.

By the way, you don't need a macro for testing what it looks like on
your system; the Plugins>Utilities>Search command uses a  RadioButtonGroup.
And here is a macro including multi-column RadioButtonGroups:

Dear Jan,

Your are right. It looks nice with the String type in Linux FIJI too (see
attached image).

Can I ask in this case how do I output the value users choose from this
panel? Dialog.getRadioButton() seems not working for it any more.

Also do I need to put a semicolon behind this single line? Both worked well
with or without in Linux FIJI. Just not sure should I or not.

Thanks,
Kaiming

Dear Kaiming,

No need to call a Dialog function. The user's choice will be in that
variable (named 'versions' in my example).
Just try adding in another line:

print(versions);

You don't need to put a semicolon. Script parameters are processed by
the SciJava framework _before_ the script is executed. They are therefor
language-agnostic and work the same in any supported script language.

Hope that helps,
Jan

[Kaiming Yin]

Dear Jan,

Thanks again for your help. Yes it works and I get the value from the
parameter 'versions' directly. However, when I put the one line script into
the whole script which was supposed to generate one panel providing all
options for user to choose from, this one line script seems to generate one
panel for its own seperately and the other commands will be in the other
panel. see the example below and attached two images:

Dialog.create("Operating system and ImageJ");
Dialog.addMessage("Choose ImageJ version and operating system");
#@ String (choices={"FIJI", "ImageJv1.52e", "ImageJ v1.52a to ImageJ
v1.52e","ImageJv1.50 to ImageJ v1.51 to ImageJ v1.52e"},
style="radioButtonVertical") versions
Dialog.addChoice("Operating system:", newArray("Windows", "Mac", "Linux"));
Dialog.show();
print(versions);

Can I ask do you know if it's possible to put two GUIs together as a whole
panel?

Thanks,
Kaiming

Dear Kaiming,

there's no way to combine script parameters and those created by the
Dialog.* macro functions into the same dialog. But you can switch your
whole script to using script parameters, thus saving a few lines and
hopefully making your code more concise.

Here's an example:

#@script (name="Operating system and ImageJ", menuPath="")
#@ String (visibility=MESSAGE, persist=false, required=false, label=" ",
value="Choose ImageJ version and operating system") msg
#@ String (choices={"FIJI", "ImageJv1.52e", "ImageJ v1.52a to ImageJ
v1.52e","ImageJv1.50 to ImageJ v1.51 to ImageJ v1.52e"},
style="radioButtonVertical") versions
#@ String (label="Operating system:", choices={"Windows", "Mac",
"Linux"}) os

print(versions);
print(os);


Cheers
Jan

Thanks Jan,

It's indeed more concise to use script parameters to generate dialogs and
also more control over how dialogs look like. And lastly can i ask where
can I see more examples or tutorials of using these scripts?

Regards,
Kaiming
