What resets "Line Width" ?

Dear List,

I set the line width in a macro with the run("Line Width. command. And it
works as expected until I hit a shortcut key to execute another macro.

The line width seems to get reset to the default line width after the
following macro is executed by its shortcut key.

macro "enhanced_m2 [m]" {

run("Set Measurements...", "area display redirect=None decimal=2");

run("Measure");
//Update Results Table

run("Add Selection...", "stroke=white width=2");
//Mark Measured Root

ThisLabel = toString(nResults);

getSelectionBounds(x1,y1, width, height);

makeText(ThisLabel, x1+ width-2,y1+2);

run("Add Selection...", "stroke=white font=12 fill=none");
//Label Root with ID

run("Select None");

updateResults();

}

Do any of the above commands reset the line width?

What other ImageJ events might reset the line width other than explicitly
changing it?

Thank you,

Dan

Hi Daniel,

Image>Overlay>Add Selection takes the line width of the current roi
that you add to the overlay. Obviously, this makes sense for line
rois only - these can have a width>1.

For me it would be also desirable that the overlay color in the
dialog is remembered:
That color defaults to the eyedropper foreground color. Usually I
have black foreground for editing, but I would like to have a
different default color for the overlays.

So I would also perfer the dialog (as well as the dialog-less ALT-b
command) to remember width and color.

Re: What resets "Line Width" ?

Michael,

Thank you for your reply.

I have found the overlay capability to be very helpful.

I agree it would be very nice to be able to set line width and color until
reset.

My wish list includes duplicating most 'drawing" capability in the macro
language with an equivalent "overlay" command set.

We use the overlay capability as a QA check on how well our images have been
manually processed. We would like to use different representations on the
overlay to indicate the detection of different features. So we would like
to preserve all aspects of what we put on the overlay.

The 1.44e10 daily build fixes a bug that caused Image>Overlay>Add Selection to reset the line width. In addition, the Add Selection dialog now remembers the line width and color.
