ImageJ with HiDpi

Jon Harman-3
Hi,
I missed the part where Wayne discusses this.  Originally ImageJ was
unusable on my Windows laptop.  Then magically it was fixed.   It seems
that the ImageJ.exe was changed to make use of the display scaling
feature for high DPI that is in Windows.
I develop with Eclipse.  It was unusable until I found a clever hack
that doubles the size of all the icons Eclipse uses.  That hack was
specific to the Luna version, so I am stuck on that version.  Even with
the hacked Eclipse when I run ImageJ from Eclipse it is too small to
see.  I'm hoping there will be a fix for this, but the problem has gone
on for way too long.  Java seems failing to keep up.

Note: The Netbeans UI is better than Eclipse in this regard.  Too bad I
am so used to Eclipse.

Jon

Re: ImageJ with HiDpi

Greeting to all HiDpi ImageJ users out there!

As Curtis suggested in the ImageJ forum
<http://forum.imagej.net/t/how-to-increase-the-gui-font-size/552> , Java
9 is capable of HiDpi scaling.

I installed the early access JRE 9 for Win 10 64-bit from here:
http://jdk9.java.net/download/ and it works like a charm.

I hope this helps others as it did for me.

Best,

Chris
