Moving Non-Image Windows

[Barton, Robert]

List,

I am trying to determine if it is possible to move a non-image window
within a macro.  the setLocation(x,y) function will only move an image
window and it would be helpful to be able to set a location for non-image
windows (ROI Manager and Window/Level especially) so that they do not get
covered up.

Thank you,

Robert

The description of the setLocation(x,y) function at

     
http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/developer/macro/functions.html#setLocation

says that it is not limited to image windows if you are running ImageJ
1.39e or later. As an example, this macro

    if (isOpen("ROI Manager")) {
        selectWindow("ROI Manager");
        setLocation(0,0);
    }

moves the ROI Manager to the upper left corner of the screen.
