Several beginner questions about LUTs

Dear all,
I never really played with LUTs before and thus may have a couple of probably silly questions about them.
So what I would like to do is to apply certain LUTs on an ImageProcessor.
Browsing on the web, I found the following code:
IndexColorModel cm;
try
{
LutLoader lutLoader = new LutLoader();
cm = lutLoader.open(IJ.getDirectory("luts") + lut + ".lut");
}
catch (Exception e)
{
IJ.error("error reading LUT file");
}
with lut one of the LUT filename found within the "luts" folder.
Then I want to apply the loaded LUT to an image with:
ip.setColorModel(cm);
ip being an ImageProcessor.
But ImageProcessor.setColorModel(java.awt.image.ColorModel cm)
And LutLoader.open(java.lang.String path) returns an java.awt.image.IndexColorModel.
So what is the difference between an IndexColorModel and ColorModel (besides the fact that IndexColorModel extends ColorModel)?
Why is there this difference between the use of the classes?
Also the:
ip.setColorModel(cm);
application seems not to be working within my code, so how could I locate my error?
At last, the LutLoader.open(java.lang.String path) can be used to get the IndexColorModel of LUTs saved in the "luts" folder.
But some LUTS (like "fire", "ice",...) are directly defined within the ij.plugin.LutLoader class.
Thus how is it possible to get a handle to the IndexColorModel of these LUTs?
I thank you very much in advance for your help on this.
My best regards,
Philippe

Re: Several beginner questions about LUTs

Hi Philippe,

as far as I can see, the ij.plugin.LutLoader class currently has no
public method to access the built-in LUTs without craeting an image and
assigning a LUT to it with 'IJ.run'.
The LutLoader creates the built-in LUTS "fire", "grays", "ice",
"spectrum", "3-3-2 RGB", "red", "green", "blue", "cyan", "magenta",
"yellow", "redgreen".

I think that such a public method would be nice to have (but it would be
a bit of work to modify the LutLoader to get it).

Re: Several beginner questions about LUTs

Hi Michael,
How are you doing?
I mostly solved the issues I had described below and similarly to you I saw that there aren't really public methods to access the built-in LUTS.
So what I did is (for each of them) to declare a String[] within which I manually copied the data I could find under Image>Color>Show_LUT>List.
I agree that this can probably be considered as "bad programming" but at least it is working...
Nevertheless something I still have to work on, is to find a way to transform IndexColorModel data into a form similar to what is given by Image>Color>Show_LUT>List.
And I guess there are some plugins out there already doing this.
Kndest regards,
Philippe

Re: Several beginner questions about LUTs

Hi Philippe,

the Glasbey LUT file is ascii, not binary; you can open it with a text
editor.

Other ascii LUTs in my LUT directory:

5_Ramps.lut
Jet.lut
Sepia.lut
UnionJack.lut

LutLoader.open opens binary LUT files only.

LutLoader.openLut(String pathOrURL) detects the file type and then uses
the appropriate method for opening. In contrast to LutLoader.open it
does not return an ImageColorModel but an ImageJ ij.process.LUT

This is not really obvious, one has to read the LutLoader code rather
carefully to find out. So it's not really beginner's questions that you
are asking.

Best,

Michael

The ImageJ 1.53d15 daily build adds a static LutLoader.getLut(name) method that returns an IndexColorModel for any of the LUTs listed in the Image>Lookup Tables menu.

Here is a JavaScript example:

img = IJ.createImage("Untitled", "8-bit ramp", 500, 300, 1);
img.show();
setLut(img,"Fire");
setLut(img,"Ice");
setLut(img,"Cyan");
setLut(img,"Phase");
setLut(img,"Edges");
setLut(img,"Cyan Hot");
setLut(img,"Cool");
setLut(img,"Glasbey");
setLut(img,"Viridis");

function setLut(img, name) {
ip = img.getProcessor();
lut = LutLoader.getLut(name);
if (lut!=null)
ip.setColorModel(lut);
else
name = "Not found: "+name;
img.setTitle(name);
msg = new TextRoi(10,10,name);
msg.setFontSize(40);
msg.setStrokeColor(Color.yellow);
img.setOverlay(new Overlay(msg));
img.updateAndDraw();
IJ.wait(2000);
}

Re: Several beginner questions about LUTs

Dear Wayne,
Thanks a lot for this update!
It is working as a charm both for the built-in LUTs as the one within the "luts" folder and this way more easily than before.
Take care,
Philippe

Re: Several beginner questions about LUTs

Dear Wayne,
I may have talked slightly too fast!
Your code is working as a charm for all LUTs besides the "3-3-2 RGB" and "Red/Green" ones.
Nevertheless by replacing the line 24 of the latest ij.plugin.LutLoader.java file, i.e.:
FileInfo fi = ll.getBuiltInLut(name.toLowerCase());
by
name = name.equals("3-3-2 RGB") ? "3-3-2 RGB" : name.replace("/", "").toLowerCase();
FileInfo fi = ll.getBuiltInLut(name);
will already make the deal.
Again thanks a lot your update which simplifies a lot my code and have a nice day.
Kindest regards,
Philippe

Re: Several beginner questions about LUTs

Dear Wayne (I promise my last reply on this!),
Actually the two lines I proposed below for replacing the line 24 of the ij.plugin.LutLoader.java file can be replaced by the single following line:
FileInfo fi = ll.getBuiltInLut(name.equals("3-3-2 RGB") ? "3-3-2 RGB" : name.replace("/", "").toLowerCase());
Also slightly modifying the javascript example you gave below by:
img = IJ.createImage("Untitled", "8-bit ramp", 500, 300, 1);
img.show();
lutList = IJ.getLuts();
for(i = 0; i < lutList.length; i++)
setLut(img,lutList[i]);

function setLut(img, name) {
ip = img.getProcessor();
lut = LutLoader.getLut(name);
if (lut!=null)
ip.setColorModel(lut);
else
name = "Not found: "+name;
img.setTitle(name);
msg = new TextRoi(10,10,name);
msg.setFontSize(40);
msg.setStrokeColor(Color.yellow);
img.setOverlay(new Overlay(msg));
img.updateAndDraw();
IJ.wait(2000);
}
gives a cool way to visualize the different LUTs installed on a machine (in parallel to he already existing Image>Color>Display_LUTs).
Kindest regards,
Philippe

Re: Several beginner questions about LUTs

Hi Philippe,

I had forgotten about the IJ.getLuts() method! I changed the name of the JavaScript example to “Show_all_LUTs.js”, fixed the problems with "3-3-2 RGB" and "Red/Green”, and added it (in 1.53d17) to the Help>Examples>JavaScript menu.

'Show Folder' does not show folder

Hi,
I wonder if this is only a linux bug (I confess that I had never used the
"File>Show Folder" command before!)

Launching that command opens the File Manager which gives an error saying:

The file or folder /home/gabriel/ImageJ/'/home/gabriel/ImageJ' does not exist.
It looks like if IJ tries to find that path inside the folder where IJ is
already running from?

At the same time, the console also shows these messages:

Trying to convert empty KLocalizedString to QString.
kdeinit5: Shutting down running client.
klauncher: Exiting on signal 15
Connecting to deprecated signal
QDBusConnectionInterface::serviceOwnerChanged(QString,QString,QString)

Any ideas?
Cheers

Gabriel

The very useful File>Show Folder> commands, contributed by Norbert Vischer, work fine on the ancient Ubuntu 14.04 LTS system I use for testing, running inside VirtualBox on my Mac laptop.

Hi Wayne,
Thanks for looking into it. Unfortunately it does not work on opensuse Leap
15.1, or in Kubuntu 18.04 (different machines) (both up to date).

For Kubuntu IJ gives a different error:

Failed to Show Folder: java.io.IOException: Failed to show URL: file:/home/
gabriel/ImageJ/
(the folder is where IJ is installed, so it exists. There is no File Manager
launched.

I tried again in Leap 15.1 with Java 1.6.0 and I get a different error, this
time from IJ itself.

ImageJ 1.53d17; Java 1.6.0_24 [64-bit]; Linux 4.12.14-lp151.28.52-default;
27MB of 8000MB (<1%)

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Desktop API is not supported on the
current platform
