Working faster with imagej

[Tal Shprung]

Dear All,

What I am currently doing is, that I have allocated the following shortcuts:

F1 opens the load menu, where i load 2 pictures, one by one.

F2 does binary -> make maxima + Sets Threshold.

I close the two original pictures manually.

F3 opens the image calculator menu, where i choose the pictures and do
Subtract.

F4 measures the area - I measure the area of the subtract picture and of one
of the pictures created after F2.

Then i close all the pictures and open the second set.

Is there a way to do this process faster and more efficient?

Thank you,

Tal Shprung

Tal,

I´m a bit confused, you can easily combine all this processing steps in one
simple macro that you generate with the macro recorder, you can also edit
the macro so that it still will
leave you a choice *which* files you want to open  and not the recorded
ones (replace the explicit name in open() with an empty string ""), is that
whatyou need? Or do you need all these steps separately available?

I have 20 pairs of pictures named 1t0, 1t1, 2t0, 2t1... 20t0, 20t1

what i want is to do the calculations for each pair. As far as i know, i
have to load each pair myself.

The other calculations i do need me to choose the right windows in the
program, or else it will not work... that is why i have divided the actions.
I couldnt find the right command.

Is macro better than plugin?

A nacro is "easier" to program than a plugin.

I see, it would not be very difficult to automatically generate 20 file
names
in a macro of the above pattern.

for (i = 1; i <= 20; i++) {
  nm0 = ""+i+"t0";
  nm1 = ""+i+"t1";
}

open(nm0);
open(nm1);

and your processing......

You can select a certain window via it´s name and bring to the front for
further processing,
here some code I made some time ago for this, you would do eg;

id=findWind(nm1);
selectImage(id);

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

function findWin(prefix)
// Find the most recent (most negative ID) image window, whose title starts
with <prefix> and return its ID
{
//  setBatchMode(true);
  id = getImageID();
  minid = 0;
  for (i = 1; i <= nImages; i++) {
    selectImage(i);
    thisid = getImageID();
    if (startsWith(getTitle(), prefix) && thisid < minid)
      minid = thisid;
  }
//  setBatchMode(false);
  selectImage(id);
  return minid;
}
