Make plugin aware of macro batch mode

[Michael Doube]

Hi all,

I have a plugin that automatically calculates default values then
presents them to the user in a dialog before running.  The defaults are
dependent on image dimensions and voxel size.  If I run the plugin from
a macro, I can enter the variables as a string.  However, if I want to
run the plugin over all different-sized images in a directory, reusing
the same default values is not appropriate.

Is there some way to make a plugin aware that it is being called from a
batch mode macro and use its own calculated values? The way I thought of
was to put a check box in the dialog that would prevent the variables
from being updated by the macro.

Hi Mike,

you can use
   Interpreter.isBatchMode()
