calling ImageJ from another program

[Morgiane Richard]

Hello,
 
I would like to call ImageJ from a C++ program, and then call a macro of imageJ, call the command open Image sequences and call the command animate.
 
Does anyone have an idea?
 
Also, is there a limited number of commands or lines that an ImageJ macro can contain?
 
Thanks,
 
Morgiane

You should be able to do this by having your C++ program execute a
command something like this

    java -jar ij.jar -macro macro.txt

where "macro.txt" is a macro that runs one or more ImageJ commands. A
complete list of the ImageJ command line options can be found at the
beginning of the the ImageJ.java source file.

There is no arbitrary limit on the size of an ImageJ macro.
