Re: how do you get an ROI name in a macro?

[dpoburko]

I'm really sorry about this one folks. I'm sure I'm going to smack my
forehead when I find out how to do this. I just need to know how to get
the name of a given ROI. For the last few days I've been going over the
roiManager documentation. I can see how to remain and ROI, but I can't
see how you get at the current name for an ROI. This is in the context
of a macro.

In the ij.gui.Roi Class there is a public method called getName() which
returns either the String name or null if the ROI does not have a name.
I hope this helps,

The latest 1.42m daily build adds a getInfo("roi.name") function that
returns the ROI name or "" if there is no ROI or the ROI does not have
a name.
