Reference to ImagePlus java.awt.frame? (Custom result window)

[Joachim Wesner]

Hi list,

I would like to show the (textual) results of a plugin in a special
(probably nicely decorated)
result window that only has a close button and keeps associated to the
original ImagePlus.

I´m thinking of doing this with a (J)Dialog, but I wonder, how do I get a
reference to the
java.awt.frame of the input ImagePlus as the "owner frame" of the
(J)Dialog?

Any other ideas to make the "private result/dialog window"?

Any hint is greatly appreciated!

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

Joachim Wesner

Hi Joachim,

The answer to your first question looks quite trivial:

ImagePlus imp = ...;
ImageWindow win = imp.getWindow(); //class ImageWindow extends Frame

However, I don't think that adding buttons to an existing Frame and  
having everything resized corectly is so easy - my solution would be  
creating an own subclass ImageWindow, similar to the HistogramWindow
