how to resize an image / how to call an imagej-function in source code

[Marko Ulbrich]

Hi all,

i have the following problem:
how can i use imagej-resize-function in my plugins. I have a picture
with 1280x1024 pixels. I want to resize this to 320x256. What type of
image do i get back and how i can i work with the resized image.
In ImageJ itself that's no problem, but i don't know how to implement
this in my source code. (I don't know this for all other funcions too).

It would be great if somebody can help.
Thanks, Marko

Marko,

Use the ImageProcessor class resize(int new_width, int new_height) method,
such as:

ImagePlus imp_big = WindowManager.getCurrentImage();
ImageProcessor ip_big = imp_big.getProcessor();
ip_big.setInterpolate(true);
ImageProcessor ip_small = resize(320, 256);
ImagePlus small = new ImagePlus("small", ip_small);
small.show();

Of course you can write the above in a much compact manner, and there's not
much need to setup interpolation when scaling down. That's up to your style
and requirements.
