Own icons in toolbar

[Jirka]

Hello,
may I ask if there is a simple way how to add new icons in IJ toolbar and
associate an action to each of them. The idea behind is simple, just have
an overlap segmentation and set of icons/numbers {0,20,40,60,80,100} in the
toolbar. After each click the transparency of segmentation is changed. I
went throw IJ api but I have not found anything suitable. Does anyone an
advice?

Thanks, Jirka

There are three ways to do so:

1) use a macro (this used to be the old way, and for full
backwards-compatibility you might need to do it that way because some
users are stuck with older ImageJ 1.x versions due to some plugins no
longer working):

http://imagej.nih.gov/ij/developer/macro/macros.html#tools

2) implement a PlugInTool (added in 1.46d):

http://jenkins.imagej.net/job/ImageJ1-javadoc/javadoc/ij/plugin/tool/PlugInTool.html

3) use Fiji's AbstractTool infrastructure (which inspired Wayne to add the
slightly more limited PlugInTool infrastructure):

http://jenkins.imagej.net/view/Fiji/job/Fiji-javadoc/javadoc/fiji/tool/AbstractTool.html

Unfortunately, I still did not find time to document this better, so the
source code may serve as a starting point:

https://github.com/fiji/fiji/blob/master/src-plugins/fiji-lib/src/main/java/fiji/tool/AbstractTool.java

The idea is that you define what your tool wants to override by
implementing one or more of the following interfaces (in addition to
extending AbstractTool):

MouseListener, MouseMotionListener, MouseWheelListener, KeyListener,
SliceListener, ToolWithOptions, ToolToggleListener.

Examples for the different methods:

1)

https://github.com/fiji/fiji/blob/master/src-plugins/VIB_/src/main/java/ROIBrush_.java#L17

2)

http://imagej.nih.gov/ij/plugins/download/Example_Tool.java

3)

https://github.com/fiji/fiji/blob/master/src-plugins/Script_Editor/src/main/resources/templates/Java/Bare_Tool.java

Jirka,

isn't that described in the

"ImageJ Macro Language Programmer’s Reference Guide"

authored by Jérôme Mutterer and Wayne Rasband.

It is downloadable from the IJ website and accessible via:

<http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/developer/macro/macros.html>

You are welcome. Thank you for your contributions!

From my point of view, fiji-devel is really a mailing list intended to
discuss Fiji development. With more and more plugins being developed in
their own repositories, that means less and less reason to discuss things
there.

Historically, there was the concern that too many too technical details
would be discussed on the ImageJ mailing list (and would scare users), but
that never was the case.

Also, it often turned out that a Fiji issue was actually an ImageJ issue
(which is unsurprising given that Fiji Is Just ImageJ) and things were
discussed on the wrong mailing list, or even independently on both mailing
lists, confusing everyone. That is why there was an almost unanimous vote
for closing the fiji-users mailing list a couple of years ago.

Even more: on the ImageJ mailing list, most of the things discussed on the
ImageJ mailing list are not directly involved with the development of the
core of ImageJ, such as the quantification of fluorophores in an image,
implementation details of colocalisation algorithms, choice of Java
versions, etc. I would not hesitate, for that reason, to discuss things
much more closely related to ImageJ on that list, even if they might use
parts of some Fiji plugins/libraries.

And finally, the policy to strip out each and every Cc:ed party from posts
to the ImageJ mailing list makes it undesirable to cross-post to both
the ImageJ and Fiji-devel mailing list.

Therefore, I suggest going with the ImageJ mailing list by default, except
in cases where you can think of a good reason not to.

Ciao,
Johannes
