imageJ front panel fonts size

[Nicola B.]

Hi all.
to lunch ImageJ under linux I use follow script:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
# ImageJ launcher

JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun
IMAGEJ_HOME=/usr/local/ImageJ
PLUGINS_DIR=/usr/local/ImageJ

JAVA_OPT=Xmx500m
CP=$IMAGEJ_HOME/ij.jar:$JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar

echo "starting ImageJ.."
$JAVA_HOME/jre/bin/java -cp $CP -$JAVA_OPT -Dplugins.dir=$PLUGINS_DIR
-$JAVA_OPT ij.ImageJ
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have hight screen resolution (1920x1200) and ImageJ-fonts results very
small.
Exist any possibilities to make them bigger? (maybe in some way changing
the script)
Regards,
   -nicola

We discussed this some time ago. I also have that screen size and it is almost
unreadable...
I use the plugin below, run from the startupmacros.txt file.
I cannot remember who wrote it... (Dscho? Wayne? Albert? if somebody knows,
please let me know).  

Mind the line breaks:


//----------------------
import ij.IJ;
import ij.ImageJ;
import ij.Menus;
import ij.gui.GenericDialog;
import ij.plugin.PlugIn;
import java.awt.Font;
import java.awt.Menu;
import java.awt.MenuBar;

public class Menu_Font implements ij.plugin.PlugIn {
        public void run(String arg) {
                GenericDialog gd = new GenericDialog("New Menu Font Size");
                gd.addNumericField("menuFontSize", 16, 0);
                gd.addCheckbox("Bold", true);

                gd.showDialog();
                if (gd.wasCanceled())
                        return;

                int size = (int)gd.getNextNumber();
                String bold="";
                if (gd.getNextBoolean())
                  bold="bold-";

                MenuBar menuBar = Menus.getMenuBar();
                Font font = menuBar.getFont();
                int oldSize = font.getSize();

                // this does not work, because default is "fixed"
                //menuBar.setFont(font.deriveFont(size));
                menuBar.setFont(Font.decode("sansserif-"+bold + size));

                // work around AWT not recalculating the menu bar size
                int i, count = menuBar.getMenuCount();
                Menu[] menus = new Menu[count];
                for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {
                        menus[i] = menuBar.getMenu(0);
                        menuBar.remove(menus[i]);
                }
                for (i = 0; i < count; i++)
                        menuBar.add(menus[i]);
               ImageJ ij = IJ.getInstance();
               ij.pack();
               ij.setSize(new java.awt.Dimension(ij.getWidth() *size /
oldSize, ij.getHeight()));
        }
}

Thanks, it work great!!
A last thing..
Does someone know any method to avoid run plugin every time by hand, and
automate process when imageJ is lunched (as parameters I need
"MenuFontSize=15" and "noBold") ?
Thanks,
        Nicola

Plugin is make by Dscho..

Dear All,

Is there a way to get automated live imaging and simultaneous analysis with
ImageJ?

Thanks,

Sinan Yordem

Nicola,

Just launch it from a macro in the StartupMacros.txt , something like

run("Menu Font", "menuFontSize=16 Bold");


(Gabriel: I did not write it, or at least, I can't remeber myself doing so.)

But I forgot to point out that you could set it from
Edit>Options>Appearance>Menu_Font_Size.

Record your setting and put it in the startupmacros.txt file

Would it be possible to program ImageJ to check the DPI from the
X-server at startup and adjust the font size appropriately?  I don't
know if you can access the DPI for Windows or Mac, but maybe something
similar could be done for them too.

Gabriel and Nicola, offhand, do you know the DPI for your monitors?  I
have a fairly large monitor , 1680 by 1024 or something like that, but
the DPI is really low, so the fonts look normal.

Not sure, sorry. I think that Java does its own calculation, but I wonder how
correct it is that. Over several version of the sdk the fonts in IJ get
larger and smaller...

How does one interactively select an ROI in a Macro? I would like to select the
ROI in a loop, inside the macro. I see many ways to manipulate an ROI once it
exists, but I have not found a simple way to specify the ROI by drawing with the
mouse. It looks like I can use getCursorLoc (as in GetCursorLoc Demo Tool) and
then make it, but I wonder if there is already a piece of a macro that does it,
probably better than I will.

This must already be somewhere in the examples and in the mailing list, but I
just have not been able to find it.

Thanks in advance

Hi Aryeh,

you could use the "Wait_For_User" plugin:

Thank you Michael. That is much better than what I cobbled together.
What you suggest is exactly right.

Here is what I did:

// adapted from Get CursorLocDemo

function Draw_Box() {
       leftButton=16;
       x2=-1; y2=-1; z2=-1; flags2=-1;

// wait until the left mouse button is pressed

        getCursorLoc(x, y, z, flags);
        while (flags&leftButton==0) {getCursorLoc(x, y, z, flags);}

// draw and update the box as long as the left mouse button is pressed

       while (flags&leftButton!=0) {
           getCursorLoc(x2, y2, z2, flags);
        delta_x = x-x2; delta_y = y-y2;
    makeRectangle(minOf(x,x2), minOf(y,y2),abs(delta_x), abs(delta_y));

         wait(10);
       }

// the return of delta_x is a kludge to let the macro decide if the
// rectangle is  large enough
      return abs(delta_x);

  }

Best regards,
