Particle Tracker in batch mode

[Michael Skaug]

I am impressed with the Particle Tracker plugin written by Guy Levy.  I
would like to run it in batch mode to analyze many image sequences.  I
am able to call the Particle Tracker plugin from a macro, but there
doesn't seem to be any way to write out the results using a macro.  Any
ideas on the smartest way to apply the Particle Tracker in batch mode?

Thanks

If I am not mistaken, the ParticleTracker_ plugin opens its own results
table.  So you probably need to modify the source code, which is contained
in the plugin .jar, fortunately!
