hiding unnecessary interface

Paul McMillan-2
Hi all,

I'm working on a project involving enlisting a large number of
relatively unskilled workers to do repetitive image analysis using
ImageJ. I've written a set of macros which walk them through the
analysis process, but in order to increase throughput and reduce
errors, I'd like to figure out how to hide as much of the gui/menu
interface as possible.

An optimal solution would show just the image in question and a set of
icons to select the correct macro. To further complicate things, I'm
planning on delivering the applet and image to be analyzed through a
website (though my understanding is that this shouldn't change too
much).

I've searched a fair bit and can't seem to find an example of how to
do this interface simplification. If anyone can point me in the right
direction I'd be quite grateful.

Thanks,
-Paul

Paul,
you can do this with the Action Bar plugin.

Thank you, that is EXACTLY what I needed. Last night I figured out how
to include ImageJ within a java program, from which I was able to set
the main window's visibility to hidden (and I imagine such an action
also may be possible from an auto-run plugin, though I haven't checked
yet). Together, the two parts should provide the streamlined
experience I was hoping for with a minimum of fuss.

Thanks!
