How to use "makePolygon"?

[Juanjo Vega]

Hi!

I'm trying to programmatically select a Roi as a ploygon. I started
recording a macro and I got the following:

//setTool(2);
makePolygon(175,20,106,161,264,227,348,78,201,103,231,31);


But when I try to use "makePolygon()" at my code, it doesn't work.
I'm not sure at all about the method because the number of arguments can
vary.

Any idea?

Sincerelly,
Juanjo.

Hello,

Could anyone please help me, how to cluster the data coordinates acquired,
to give a meaningful distinction from homogenous and heterogenous
distribution of data points in different images.

anticipating for the kind help

thanks

sabin

Could you please be more specific as to what doesn't work for you?

The macro function manual tells us:
--------------------------
makePolygon(x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3, ...)
Creates a polygonal selection. At least three
coordinate pairs must be specified, but not more
than 200. As an example,
makePolygon(20,48,59,13,101,40,75,77,38,70)
creates a polygon selection with five sides.

Well, what doesn't work is:

IJ.run("makePolygon(20,48,59,13,101,40,75,77,38,70)");

It shows a message which says: "unrecognized command", or something like
that.

I also tried to look for a method like "IJ.makePolygon()", but it
doesn't exist (there are methods to makePoint, line, rectangle, oval,...
but no polygon).

Thanks for your help!

Juanjo.

Hi Juanjo,

if you write a MACRO, remove the 'IJ.run', just write
   makePolygon(20,48,59,13,101,40,75,77,38,70);

If you write a PLUGIN (Java), use
     imp.setRoi(new PolygonRoi(x, y, n, Roi.POLYGON));
where x and y are arrays, and n is the number of points in the x and  
y arrays that should be used (usually the array length).

There is no method in IJ for making a polygon roi (admittingly, the  
command recorder sometimes only delivers a very rough approximation  
to what a plugin should look like...)

Hi Michael,

Thanks a lot, it works. Not for the values I'm using, but there must be
something weird I'm not seeing. I'll try to fix that by myself.

Thanks again

Sincerelly,

Juanjo.

Juanjo,

an useful tip for situations like these is to use the "Macro Recorder"
command.
With this command, all operations executed will be added to macro recorder
window and you will discover how to pass the arguments into the command
IJ.Run(Macro name,args).
Best regards,

Fernando
