closing the Exception window

[John Alexander-7]

Hi everyone,

I have a macro that uses a plug in that on occasion throws an Exception.
 It isn't a problem - but I am trying to build in handling for this.
Right now I have this:

if (isOpen("Exception")) {
     print("SLD: "+SLD+":   "+SLDdir+SLDname+" threw an exception");
     selectWindow("Exception");
     close();
     }

I get my Log window with my printed statement, but the close() fails by
saying there is no window "Exception".

any ideas?

You probably need to place the plug-in call  in a try block so you can
catch the exception that is thrown.  Just a guess though since I'm
pretty much a newbie when it comes to ImageJ.
I don't know if you can catch exceptions is other ways.
Regards,
Ray

Use run("Close") instead of close(). The close() function only works
with image windows.
