boolean operator plugin

[donny008]

hello

i have been extensively searching for a plugin with boolean operators eg xor
so that  can automatically invert my images and i have not been successful
to find one. could any of you please be kind enough to show me a pluging for
this purpose or are there none ??

regards

Hi,

Why don't you use the simple built-in command...

IJ.run("Invert");

or the invert method to the ImageProcessor class...

ImageProcessor ip = imp.getProcessor();
ip.invert();


Cheers,
Ben

thankyou ben

sorry that i didnt present the picture completely, i have been trying to
devise a method to integrate or bring a couple of
submenus from imagej into a plugin so that once called upon this plugin does
the processes that i require on the images. for example i need to adjust the
brightness and contrast, make the image smooth, enhance contrast, filters
and so on. having been working on imagej for 5 days i realise that this can
be done on java. at the same time i have no experience with java other than
a basic understading of object oriented languages. i was wondering that
since the things that i require are just submenu which are already available
as options in imagej is there a way to call a set of 5 or more options
together. or do use macros(to the level that i understand macros and plugins
are almost similiar, and plugins once compiled can also appear as a subemenu
in imagej, which is more preferred)

 i would be glad to have to some ways to do this in a simple way as i am a
novice with both imagej and java.

thanking you in advance.

regards
donny

Hi Donny,

See also Process>Math>AND, OR, XOR. These are bitwise binary  
operations, also available as methods of an ImageProcessor. They do  
nothing with 32-bit (float) images.

Note that ip.invert() for 16 and 32-bit images depends on the current  
display range (minimum and maximum, as you set it in  
Image>Adjust>Brightness&Contrast), so it will usually result in  
values different from xor with binary 1111111111111111 (16-bit) or  
multiplication by -1 (float).

Michael
