learning order without sorting

[Anderson, Charles (DNR)]

I would like to learn the rank order of values in an array without actually sorting it. In R,
B = order(X)
Would give me what I need.  Is there something like that in ImageJ?

Thanks.

Charles

Charles,

Have you looked at the macro function *Array.rankPositions(array) *in* *the
Macro Functions documentation?

I've looked, but haven't found a plugin to record all the steps taken
while working on images in ImageJ (or FIJI) short of recording a macro
of everything I'm doing.  Image Pro Plus has an audit trail that records
activity while doing work in Image Pro Plus, and Photoshop has a History
Log that records steps taken in that program and writes this to both a
text file and the image's metadata.

Is anyone aware of a similar logging feature for Image J?

Hi Jerry,

Apologies for the long delay in reply to your question.

Other than the macro recorder, I do not know of such a logging feature in
ImageJ1. However, the idea of an audit trail is of interest to quite a few
people. There is an ongoing discussion on the imagej-devel list about it:

http://imagejdev.org/pipermail/imagej-devel/2011-May/000384.html

Some developers at the Institut fuer Informatik, Martin-Luther-Universitaet
Halle-Wittenberg are working on tools called Alida & Mitobo which integrates
with ImageJ and tracks data provenance (i.e., the operations performed on
your data).

We are hoping to provide better tools for audit trails in ImageJ2, which is
under active development.

Regards,
Curtis
