Particle labeler?

John Livesey
Hello all:

I've perused the list of plug-ins on the ImageJ site but don't see something
that'll do what I need... I'm looking for a plugin similar to "cell counter"
that when clicked will place a number on a structure of interest, but in my
case the number should sequentially increase with each click rather than
placing the same "type" code with each click.  My purpose here is to label
one slice in a stack with sequential numbers so that cells in an image can
be randomly selected within a region for tracking... I have too many cells
in an image stack to track them all and need to sample them randomly - in
order to do this, I need to identify them before randomization... I suppose
I could print an image and label a printout of the image but if a plugin or
macro would do this, I can keep the data analysis fully electronic.

Thanks for any suggestions...

John

Dear John,

I hope this small macro will do what you expected!
Just copy/paste and run it.
By clicking in an image with this tool activated, it will print the number
to the same position using the color you slected by the Color Picker.
to reset the counter double click the toolicon (#) in the toolbar.

_____________________________________________________________

//defines the global variable
var labelcount = 1;

//adds the labelcounter tool to the toolbar (indicated by a # )
macro "LabelCount Tool - C000T3e16#"
{
 getCursorLoc(x, y, z, flags)
//draw the current number in the selected foregroundcolor
//to the mouseclick-position
 drawString(labelcount, x, y);
 labelcount = labelcount+1;
}

//reset the count by doubleclicking the toolicon
macro "LabelCount Tool Options"
{
 labelcount = 1;
}

_____________________________________________________________

best wishes,

Thomas
