FW: Update Summary Table

[speters14]

Hello ImageJ Users,

I've written a macro where I am able to perform some calculations and edit
my results table, among other things.  I would like to load values into my
summary table as well.   I have successfully used the setResults() function
to edit my results table, but this function does not work on the summary
table.  Is there a similar alternative?  I've tried both setResults and
setSummary but neither seem to work.

Thanks!

What you can do is copy the contents of the Summary table to the Results table. Here is an example:

   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();
