Fine control of ImageJ by external app

[amsmota]

I have this use case scenario. From inside my application, I need to:

1- launch ImageJ with a pre-determined image
1a- optionally process this image (sharpen, enhance, ...)
2- allow the user to select part of the image and create a new image with the selection
2a- optionally process this image (sharpen, enhance, ...)
2b- optionally insert EXIF informations on image
3- repeat 2 a number of times
4- in the end, create only 1 TIFF image with all the images from 2,3 as individual pages
5- save this multi-page TIFF with a pre-determined name and location

All these points should be initiated from my code, or by the user by clicking buttons *on my app*. This means restrict everything  else on the ImageJ UI (remove the File menu, etc...)

From what I saw until now, I could do all this by modifying the source code of ImageJ, IJ and the likes, but I hoped I could do this by some sort of customization, so I could reuse or later modify this customization "on the fly".

In other words, use ImageJ not as a application but purely as a API library.

Is this viable? Is there some pointers to this?

Thanks in advance.

What application do you need it for? Will it be available freely?

Ciao,

It's a app for our internal use only...
