Is it possible to re-arrange the image order window menu?

I want to swap the order of some images as they appear in the image window menu, to make them arrange in the desired order when tiling them.

Is it technically possible to swap the order the images appear in? If yes, do someone have an example?
I assume a JavaScript would be needed for this.

Hi Stein,

below is an example using setBatchMode.
Best regards, Norbert

close("*");
newImage("A", "8-bit ramp", 600, 300, 1);
newImage("B", "8-bit ramp", 600, 300, 1);
newImage("C", "8-bit ramp", 600, 300, 1);

waitForUser; //Windows sequence is A B C

selectImage("A");
setBatchMode("hide");
selectImage("B");
setBatchMode("hide");
selectImage("C");
setBatchMode("hide");

selectImage("C");
setBatchMode("show");
selectImage("B");
setBatchMode("show");
selectImage("A");
setBatchMode("show");
//Windows sequence is C B A

Re: Is it possible to re-arrange the image order window menu?

Thanks Norbert,
this works perfectly!

Inspired by your approach I wrote the below macro, which will move any image matching a pattern to the end of the window list:

arrImages = getList("image.titles");

MoveImagesToEndOfWindowList("Min.*");
MoveImagesToEndOfWindowList("Max.*");
MoveImagesToEndOfWindowList("Std.*");
MoveImagesToEndOfWindowList("Ave.*");

arrImagesReordered = getList("image.titles");
Array.show(arrImages,arrImagesReordered);

function MoveImagesToEndOfWindowList(strMatch) {
//hide images matching strMatch
for(i = 0; i < arrImages.length; i++)
if (matches(arrImages[i], strMatch)) {
selectImage(arrImages[i]);
setBatchMode("hide");
}
//show images matching strMatch
for(i = 0; i < arrImages.length; i++)
if (matches(arrImages[i], strMatch)) {
selectImage(arrImages[i]);
setBatchMode("show");
}
}

This solves what I wanted to do: To rearrange a group of Z projections named Min.. Max.. Ave.. Std.. Min.. Max.. Ave.. Std.. Min.. Max.. Ave.. Std.. as Min.. Min.. Min.. Max.. Max.. Max.. Std.. Std.. Std.. Ave.. Ave.. Ave..

Dear Norbert and Stein,
Alternatively to use the setBatchMode("hide") / setBatchMode("show") methods, you could alternatively use the Stack.swap macro method:
https://imagej.nih.gov/ij/developer/macro/functions.html#Stack.swap
thus giving you the following code:

close("*");
newImage("A", "8-bit ramp", 600, 300, 1);
newImage("B", "8-bit ramp", 600, 300, 1);
newImage("C", "8-bit ramp", 600, 300, 1);

waitForUser; //Windows sequence is A B C

run("Images to Stack", "name=Stack title=[] use");
Stack.swap(1, 3);
run("Stack to Images");
//Windows sequence is C B A

My best regards,
Philippe

Re: Is it possible to re-arrange the image order window menu?

My images are of different sizes, so "Images to Stack" will not work well.

Greetings,

Create the stack anyhow...

Specify a comma separate ordered list of slices / frames you want in the
stack...

Re: Is it possible to re-arrange the image order window menu?

The image windows I want to re-arrange are different both in their size, number of slices, number of channels, datatype and LUT, so going via a stack to rearrange the order of such dissimilar windows is not practical at all. Sorry for not mentioning this in my first post.

Norbert's suggestion of hiding the windows in batchmode and then showing them again to make them appear at the end of the window list works fine for me.
