Syntax problem

[Douglas Benn-2]

I would be grateful with

help for the syntax of

doCommand("doWand(x,y,150.0,"8-connected")"); ?



I get an error message

')' expected line 961

doCommand("doWand(x,y,150.0,"<8>-connected")");


Thank you.

Hi Douglas,

the doCommand("Command") macro call works only with ImageJ menu commands that can be also used with run("Command"). It is not meant for macro functions.

Anyhow, I see no reason for running the macro function

  doWand(x,y,150.0,"8-connected");

asynchronously. The following commands in your macro would then have an undefined state of the selection, the wand may have finished creating the selection or not.

Do you want the user to click with the wand on a point, to select something? Then use setTool("wand") and WaitForUser("select the particle now")

<by the way, if you want embedded quotes in a String, use either single quotes or backslash-quotes>

Dear Michael,

Thank you for the prompt response.  I have tried your suggestion setTool("wand") and WaitForUser("select the particle now"). It does not seem to work but I need to check my code to make sure that is not the problem.  If my code seems OK I will be back asking for more help....

Best wishes.

Douglas
