Translating Object-Image macros to ImageJ

[Puneet Kishor]

<caution, noob ahead>

Gentle folks, this is my first post on this list. I have only recently
discovered both Object-Image and ImageJ. I have the following three
questions --

1. I want to translate Object-Image macros into ImageJ macros. Is there
a canonical dictionary for doing this? Some commands are
self-explanatory, while with others I get lost. Are all functions in OI
available in ImageJ? If not, how do I find out which ones are missing?
If there is a source that I can read about this, kindly direct me to it
accordingly.

2. Can ImageJ be scripted by Perl or Python? (I am especially
interested in Perl, but Python will do as well).

3. How can I serve ImageJ-processed images on to the web? Is there a
way to CGI it, so to say?

As mentioned above, if there are online destinations where I can gather
the answers to the above, kindly direct me there.

Many thanks in advance.

I don't know about Object-Image. Sorry.

One could use jython to implement a plugin to be able to script ImageJ in
Python, but AFAIK nobody has done so yet.

The easiest way is to implement a java servlet. I think there is a
reference in the documentation section on ImageJ's website.
