mTrackJ data sets

Knecht, David
We are generating large data sets from mTrackJ in which large numbers of cells are being tracked from each image stack.  We are trying to get them into excel or Prism or other software for further analysis.  The problem is that the data is imported as a single column of objects, so if you want to set up a series of columns with data for each cell in a set of columns, you have to manually cut and paste each cell's dataset into a new set of columns.  Is there a way to automate this process or a way to import so that the cell/object sets get sorted in the first place?  Thanks- Dave

Hi David,

With the ImageJ macro language you can open a text file as a string, break
it into separate arrays (for exemple detecting the beginning of each object
trajectory), and then build a data table with a column for each trajectory.

If you send me an exemple file made by mTrackJ I could give it a shot (not
right now though).
