"Spline Fit" option of Line Selection Tool not working on OSX

[lechristophe]

Hi,

I'd like to report that the "Spline Fit" check box in the dialog
obtained by double clicking the Line Selection Tool to get its
options, is impossible to check under OSX.

This is seen using IJ 1.43u with Java 1.6.0_17 64bits under OSX10.6.3
(I also had the problem under OSX 10.5 but I don't know the exact
version of Java and OSX running). The problame is also the same with
IJ launched in 32bits.

It is not caused by the "pad tap" bug that affects checkboxes in IJ
under OSX as both pads and mice are not able to check the box.

Lastly, I would also really like to be able to access (get/set) this
option value (true/false) using the macro language, in the same way I
can specify the line width using the setLineWidth() command.

Thanks for you help,

Christophe Leterrier

PS By the way this option is not documented in IJ docs, in the Tools
section. It only appears in the Edit>Selection>Straighten function
help.

Are you sure that you have the "Segmented Line" mode selected? This option
works only for segmented lines.
Cheers,

Dear Gabriel,

Thanks for this precision. However it still doesn't work with
the"Segmented Line" mode selected, as far as I can see.

Hi Christophe,

the 'Spline Fit' checkbox works only if there is a segmented line  
selection or a polygon selection in the foreground image; it applies  
only to the current selection, not to the next one that you draw.
(it is not ideal for closed polygons: no smooth curve at the starting  
point = endpoint).

I did not find any way to access this function is a macro.
