Storing and combining freeline ROIs

[lechristophe]

I posted similar questions last week but no luck - no response.

So I'll try to reformulate and simplify. This applies to macro programming :

1) how to store a "freeline" ROI in a variable = get the ROI coordinates
and store them in an array (problems : getting the coordinates, knowing
the size of the array needed)

2) if 1) is not possible, how to store it on a temporary file ?

3) related to this : how is a freeline ROI stored by the ROI manager ?
(if I open a saved freeline ROI with notepad, I get a cryptic string.
What does it mean ?)

2 ways:
1) store the array in a txt file, then read the whole array first to get the
number of lines, then dimension the array and read it again to load the lines
coordinates.

2) use the Java language Vector instead of an array. Vectors can be resized.
