Dialog options missing

[Doug Rickman]

I find that various dialog options/checkboxes are not showing.  For example the following checkboxes are missing from the indicated operations.  A least they are missing compared to the documentation (which of course lags reality).  But I have opened the code for the Fit_Polynomial plugin and confirmed that lost option should appear.

Scale. . .
    Fill with background color
    Process entire stack
Rotate. . .
    Fill with Background Color
    Preview
Find Maxima. . .
    Above Lower Threshold
Enhance Contrast. . .
    Normalize
    Normalize All n Slices
    Use Stack Histogram
Fit_Polynomial ( a plugin from Michael Schmid, Version 2007-Jul-13)
    Preview

I am running the FIJI version of ImageJ, 1.47g. Java 1.60_37 (64-bit).  OS X 10.7.5 on one machine and 10.8.2 on another.

Does anyone else have this problem, is it reproducible, or well known?  Is there a practical cure?

Thanks for any assistance.

Whether some dialog options are shown depends on the active image. I
assume that you tried with an RGB image open? Try to change its type to
e.g. 8-bit or add a slice, then try the mentioned commands again, and
you will see that the options are there when applicable.

Hth,

Hi Doug,

these options appear only under certain circumstances:

'Fill with background color' in 'Scale' and 'Rotate' is present for 8-bit
and RGB only

Scale - various stack processing input obviously only for stacks

Find Maxima - Above Lower Threshold: only for thresholded windows

Enhance Contrast - Normalize is not available for RGB or composite images
'Process All n Slices' and 'Use Stack Histogram': Stacks only

Preview does not work with composite images.

"Whether some dialog options are shown depends on the active image. I

Many thanks for the several answers I received.  The problem was a mixture of a corrupt installation and a fundamental misunderstanding of the user guide documentation regarding composite versus stack data.  I have forwarded editorial suggestions for the guide in order to clarify the relevant details.
