Pressure Sensitive Film analysis

[Sabastian Baumbach]

Hey,

was just introduced to imagej.  I want to use it to analyze pressure sensitive film (pressure coded as diff. intensity levels of magenta) and I am wondering whether anyone has used it for that purpose before and if there is a specific plugin that I could get.

Thank you for your help!

Sebastian

I am new to Macs and Image J ( a double whammy)... I
haven't been able to extract any compressed plugin
files on my Mac. I am clicking on Finder > and double
clicking on compressed file > this should open the
file but it is not.

If there are any Mac users out there...  a quick reply
would be appreciated.

Thanks..

If you are talking about .jar files, you don't need to decompress  
them.  Just copy them into the plugins folder.

If you can't decompress .zip files, then you may have a problem with  
the OS service that handles such files.  In which case you may need to  
do an "Archive and Install..." restore of your OS (I'm assuming MacOS  
X, naturally).

No - that doesn't work.  That is what I did initially.
You need to extract the file to get into the subfiles:
java. class ,etc since those are the only extensions
Image J will recognize.

the ".jar" file is a compressed format

I think you can open up a Terminal window and simply enter "jar xvf  
<filename>.jar"

That should expand it....just be sure you're in the right directory  
where the jar file is..

Hi Joanne,

Are you saying "No" to David's comment about JAR files needing only to be
copied into the plugins folder, and not extracted? If so, trust me, he is
correct. If you have a JAR file designed to be an ImageJ plugin, you just
drop it in there. No extraction needed. Some JARs that are not designed to
be plugins may not work this way, but there is no guarantee that extracting
them will work any better. If you are having problems with a specific JAR
file from somewhere, let us know and we can try to help.

If you want to extract a JAR to get at the source code (assuming the author
packaged the source inside, which is optional), then you can extract it by
renaming the file to have extension ".zip" (click "Use .zip" when prompted)
and then double clicking the file. You can rename it back afterwards.
