Results Table I/O

[David Webster]

All,

I would like to be able to write programs that would input
results tables and output new results tables. I can do this
now as long as the table I input is an open system results
table. But, the new table doesn't seem to be "inputable"
by a subsequent Plugin  unless I first export it then import
it back into ImageJ. This is clumsy. Is there anyway to directly
input an open results table into a plugin if it is not the system
table?

I had a similar need to manage many tables, each associated with an  
image, so I wrote MeasurementTable as a subclass of ResultsTable for  
my astronomy packages.

Try out MeasurementTable from the  http://www.astro.physik.uni-goettingen.de/~hessman/ImageJ/Astronomy/docs/astroj/ 
   package available at http://www.astro.physik.uni-goettingen.de/~hessman/ImageJ/Astronomy/ 
  which has the simple method

        MeasurementTable table = MeasurementTable.getTable(String name);

that returns a subclass of ResultsTable (I added a few other missing  
methods like returning double arrays from columns).  All you'll need  
is the astroj.jar from the Astronomy.zip distribution placed in your  
plugins directory to use it in your own plugins.   Should have added a  
few methods for macro support.....

Thanks, I will give it a shot.
