Pass an ImagePlus to a plugin other than the active window ImagePlus

[kacollins]

I am writing a plugin. I am familiar with how to use IJ.run to run a second plugin from my plugin. However, I need to be able to pass a specific ImagePlus to that plugin rather than have it grab the active window ImagePlus. Is it possible to run a plugin from another plugin and pass it a specific ImagPlus?

Thanks,
     Karen

Check out the method:
  IJ.run(ImagePlus imp, String command, String options)

Yes:

ImagePlus imp = ...

IJ.run(imp, "Any Plugin", "radius=10");

Wow, I can't believe I missed that one. Google's top link brings up an outdated API for IJ.run, and I didn't notice that it was a non-official ImageJ website (http://www.coe.uncc.edu/~arwillis/online/docs/ImageJ-docs/api/ij/IJ.html). It only listed the other two versions of IJ.run. In any event, your suggested solution is exactly what I needed, and it works perfectly!
