macro to plugin issues

[jvander]

Hello,

I recorded a macro and then converted to a plug-in and got unexpected errors.  Most commands
worked but a few didn't.  For example

duplicate image worked and close image did not.

After closer examination, I figured out that the Macro to plug-in converter was incorrectly
'translating.'  For example, duplicate correctly went from

run("Duplicate...", "title=Herm_pos");

to

IJ.run("Duplicate...", "title=name1");

but close went from

close();

to

IJ.close();

but should have been

IJ.run("Close");

Am I doing something wrong in making the conversion?   To create a plug-in, I record a macro,
run it and then choose "convert to plug-in".

Or is this a problem with the converter?

I am running ImageJ 1.34s Java 1.4.2_09 on Mac OS 10.4.5

thanks,

Joe van der Gracht

I would love to be able to get results from a curve fit using a macro.

I'm getting a list of numbers from an image that I need to fit to a simple
exponential.  I would love to be able to do something like:

   X = newArray(256);
   Y = newArray(256);
   Xfit = newArray(256);
   Yfit = newArray(256);
   //do some stuff here to load X and Y with meaningful values
   fitCurve(X, Y, Xfit, Yfit, "exponential");
   // do some stuff here to look at the arrays with the fits

For my need, having the other results listed in the Log window is fine.

Is this possible?

Thanks!

It will be possible when I add a fitCurve() function to the macro
language. This is on my "to do" list.
