Re: [fiji-devel] ScientiFig a tool to quickly create, format and/or reformat figures for scientific publications

Thanks Curtis for your interest, as soon as the tool is really ready I'll provide most of the code. Please leave me a bit of time to sort my classes, to further annotate the code and also to think about a license for the code. But, first things first, before I do all that I'd really love to get some feedback on the tool itself.

best,

Benoit
