Stack Label bug in macro

[Glen MacDonald-2]

Hello,
Instructing the Image>Stacks>Label… command to print frame number on a stack, starting with ‘1’, records as this:
  run("Label...","format=0 starting 1 interval=1 x=5 y=24 font=24 text=[ Frames] range=1-1000 use”);
The Label… preview displays correctly the first slice labeled as ‘1’.

However, running this line in a macro prints ‘0’ on the first frame.  
I can work around it, but is an inconsistency.

Hi Glen,

I think there was an “=“ somehow missing in “starting 1".

Try this (you might have to replace the automatic curly quotes with normal ones):

run("Label...", "format=0 starting=1 interval=1 x=5 y=24 font=24 text=[ Frames] range=1-1000 use”);

This line labels the first frame (using the Mitosis sample) with 1 as desired. But unfortunately, when I use the overlay option, I get the same label on every frame instead of an incremented label. This seems to be an overlay-specific issue that was discussed recently on this thread<https://list.nih.gov/cgi-bin/wa.exe?A2=ind1606&L=IMAGEJ&D=0&1=IMAGEJ&9=A&J=on&d=No+Match;Match;Matches&z=4&P=29225>:

If you can use a burned-on label instead of the overlay, the label will increment properly. (Remove the “use” option.)

Hope this helps.
Theresa

Thanks Theresa,
My internal proof reader seems increasingly incompetent!  I had also left out “=“ on the following line for time, which was perfectly working to give ‘0’ seconds for the initial time.

Hi Glen,

to avoid mistakes like the one you mentioned, you can rely on the macro
recorder [1].
This is what it recorded when I used the 'Image > Stacks > Label...'
command on a stack:

     run("Label...", "format=0 starting=1 interval=1 x=5 y=24 font=24
text=[ Frames] range=1-114 use");

Hope that helps,
Jan

Hi Jan,
I was using the macro recorder, one of the best inventions ever.  But, copy and paste from the macro recorder seems to have quit working again on the Mac.  I was in a hurry and didn’t want to keep creating new macros to copy single line command tests.

Hi Glen,

yes, this is an annoying bug in Java on Mac that I've encountered before
as well. (There even should be an old bug report tracked somewhere online).

What usually helps is activating any other app, e.g. the Finder, and
re-focussing on ImageJ before pasting the command:

   - Select code in the recorder
   - Cmd-C to copy
   - click on the Desktop background to activate Finder
   - click on the Script editor window
   - Cmd-V to paste

This worked for me in the past.

Cheers
Jan

Yes, there was a thread last year and bug was fixed in 1.50e-something.  
But, no, copy and paste from the keyboard does not work.   I recalll that it was once possible to copy from the edit menu then paste from the script window's edit menu or right click.

Hi Glen,

that's interesting. Copy and paste from the keyboard *does* work as
expected for me on MacOSX 10.11.5 with an up-to-date Fiji installation
and Java 1.8.0_66

What system/version do you use?

Jan

Hello Jan,

on my system it doesn't work either:

OSX 10.9.5
ImageJ 1.51d
Java 1.8.0_65 (64bit)

by the way, I can copy TO the macro editor from any other application,
but I can't copy from the macro-recorder by key-board short-cut (there's
also no pop-up menu when right clicking on the recorder).

By the way #2, where on http://imagej.net/Fiji can I found out what is
the most recent imagej version? Just to make sure my fiji has updated
itself properly.

Yes, it has been doing this for a while now.
Copying from the recorder with command + c copies nothing. When I paste, I
get the previous clipboard contents or nothing at all (clipboard empty I
assume).
I got around this issue by clicking "create macro" and then copy within the
editor (FIJI) from one script to the next. It's a small annoyance, but it
is annoying.

Interestingly, I updated FIJI this morning and copying/pasting from the
recorder window works.

OSX 10.11.5
FIJI 2.0.0-rc-43
ImageJ 1.51d
Java 1.8.0_77 64 bit

For updating ImageJ (especially for daily builds), Help... Update ImageJ...
