ImageJ toolbar

[Jeffrey B. Woodward]

From a plugin, what is the best way to inspect the state and potentially
modify the active tool (Rectangular selections, Elliptical selections,
..., Magnifying glass, etc) on the ImageJ toolbar? I have a plugin in
which I attach a mouse listener to the canvas looking for mouse clicked
events; however, it really only makes sense to take action if the "Point
Selections" tool is active.

Many thanks in advanced,

-Woody

        import ij.gui.Toolbar;

        ...

                if (Toolbar.getToolId() == Toolbar.POINT) {
                        ...
                }

Try using the toolID macro (
