Hi all,
 
I want to use ImageJ to show images during data acquisition. Ideally, I want
to acquire one image with my VC++ program and ask ImageJ to automatically
display it, then comes the second one, third one... just like a live video.
Is it possible? I can evoke ImageJ within my program but how can I interact
with it and make it do all the tasks?
 
Thanks a lot,
 
H.L

A simple approach to this that works well is to initiate ImageJ
independently
and communicate with the data aquistion program via the file system.
ImageJ built-in macros can be invoked (from StartupMacros.txt or
manually initiated)
to poll for the creation or extention of files via
File.exists(path) - Returns true if the specified file exists.
File.length(path) - Returns the length in bytes of the specified file.
Use
wait(n)
Delays (sleeps) for n milliseconds       to control IJ CPU usage.

You can even run the data aquisition on different machines with shared
file access
or remotely via the web using
run("URL...", "url=http://xxxxx");
