Re: Width of Log window

Hi Douglas,

first you should say whether you write a macro or a plugin.

For macros, see
http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/developer/macro/functions.html

There, you will discover the selectWindow("name") and setLocation(x,
y, width, height) commands.

For a plugin, java.awt.Window is a subclass of java.awt.Component.
It inherits the setSize(int width, int height) method.
See
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/awt/Window.html

Re: Width of Log window

Hi Michael,

Thank you for your reply.

Yes I am very familiar with the macro functions which I have been using. In
fact I wrote the following code

print("Open Log window");
selectWindow("Log");
setLocation(100,100,800,700);
updateDisplay();
print(".....................................");

The output into the Log was

Open Log window
.....................................

But the size of the window does not increase from the default value. Any
suggestions?

Thanks.

Douglas

Re: Width of Log window

Hi Douglas,

hmmm, I see, I should also read the documentation more carefully...

setLocation(x, y, width, height)
Moves and resizes the active *image* window.

Funny enough, this is different from setLocation(x, y), which also
works with non-image windows. The code in ij.macro.Functions.java
shows this difference quite clearly.
I fear that this cannot be changed without some risk of breaking
existing macros that rely on the macro call working on the current
image window and not on, e.g., a Results window that might be open
and in front of the image window.

So it seems that you can't resize the Log window in a macro.

Hi Douglas

you could print to a text window, which accepts width parameter:

Douglas,

In you macro, you could use the eval() macro function, with the following
javascript:

eval("script","f =
WindowManager.getFrame('Log'); f.setLocation(0,0); f.setSize(400,300);");
