First release of a Shape Smoothing Plugin

[jumpfunky]

Dear list!

I want to announce the first release of a shape smoothing plugin based
on Fourier descriptors. The plugin smooth the shape of objects in a
binary scene. It was developed by a student in my work group at my
university and is maintained by me.

It can be downloaded here:
https://code.google.com/p/ij-shape-smoothing/

Dear Wagner,

Thanks for this nice plugin, you should mention that the object should
be black on white. I will make a link from my FourierDescriptor page :

best,

Thomas

That's great, thank you very much! I am in particular very happy to see
that you made not only a product available, but an easy-to-participate
project (which I firmly believe serves science much better than the
former).

I have an additional suggestion, though: how about making your personal
update site so that Fiji/ImageJ users can easily install (and keep
up-to-date) your plugin?

Documentation about the updater (which was slightly overtaken for the
moment by the active development of the ImageJ updater) can be found here:
http://fiji.sc/Adding_Update_Sites.

The idea of personal update sites is that you can register your very own
update site and from then on can upload your local macro/plugin files to
that site. You can then either provide the URL of that update site to your
users, or add it to http://fiji.sc/List_of_update_sites in which case it
will appear in the ImageJ updater's "Manage update sites" dialog by default,
easily activated by clicking a checkbox.

Your personal update site can easily be activated by clicking on the "Add
personal site" button in the dialog appearing after clicking "Manage
update sites" in the updater. A Fiji Wiki account -- which is required for
technical reasons -- conveniently can also be created there. Note that
there is a clipped sentence in the documentation part of said dialog which
I intend to fix today.

Thanks!
Johannes
