Polygone and polyline tools in macro language

[lechristophe]

Hi,

Sorry to ask again but maybe my request was lost in the middle of summer:
does someone have a macro tool implementation of the standard ImageJ tools ?
I'm specifically looking for the polygon and polyline tools. I looked at the
java source code for these tools but it is too far from macro language to be
easily translated. The example macro tools at
http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/macros/tools/ are useful, bot I found nothing
close enough to the polygon/polyline tools... I need that to create new
tools based on these default tools (for example, a polyline that would
display the size of its different segments and the total size in the status
bar during tracing).

Thanks a lot,

Christophe

Hi Christophe,

maybe there is an easier solution - use the existing polyline tool and just calculate the quantities of interest in a plugin?

You can use the Dynamic Profiler on the ImageJ web site as a starting point. Remove everything related to the plot window and the background thread. Instead of the 'doUpdate = true' commands, call a method that displays what you want to know via IJ.showStatus.

There is a macro version of the polygon tool at

    http://imagej.nih.gov/ij/macros/tools/PolygonTool.txt

It requires the ImageJ 1.45n daily build.
