macro

[Braekevelt Martin]

Dear all,

I am novice in programming so excuse me if what i tried to program looks stupid.
I am trying to  make a macro for measuring a set of images one by one and after each measuring each image close it, so the macro should open the first image from the directory, execute the image adjustment, set it as big as possible on the screen, set it to 50% zoom, apply a grid and then let the operator do a hit count, save the count score, close the image and then opens the next image. This sequence should be done till all images from the directory are done, ...

I have some issues with the following :

The position of the image canvas should be put in the outermost top left corner with the full covering of the screen.
The points from the grid are too small, they should be somewhat bigger and also the line some thicker.
I cannot find any macro code except the close command to close a window after the measurements are done, with this code all the images are done one after another without possible to measure.

w = 4096;
h = 2160
  dir = getDirectory("Choose Source Directory ");
  list = getFileList(dir);
  for (i=0; i<list.length; i++) {
     showProgress(i+1, list.length);
     open(dir+list[i]);
     run("Canvas Size...", "width=&w height=&h position=Center zero");
     run("Unsharp Mask...", "radius=1 mask=0.60");
               run("Grid...", "grid=Points area=85700 color=yellow bold center");
     run("Set... ", "zoom=50");
//setTool("multipoint");
     run("Point Tool...", "type=Dot color=Red size=[Extra Large] label show counter=0");
     run("Measure");
     //close();
  }


Thanks for the help in advance,

Kindest regards,

Martin.

Hi Martin,

maybe a few answers, but not all of this can be done...

Try this:
   run("Maximize");
   setLocation(0,0);

> The points from the grid are too small, they should be somewhat bigger

Sorry, currently the size of the grid points in Analyze>Tools>Grid
cannot be changed. YOu can try crosses instead of points; for grayscale
images I also think that cyan or yellow are more obvious colors than
red.

I guess that what you miss is the WaitForUser command, which lets the
user do whatever he/she should do, before doing the measurement. E.g.
   waitForUser("Your Action Required", "Select all pink elephants.\nThen
press OK");

Then do the measurement and close the image.
If you only want to know the number of points, not their coordinates:
Instead of "Measure", use the macro equivalent to alt-Y (Selection
properties):
   setKeyDown("alt");
   run("Properties... ");

At the very end, you might want this to save the results:
   saveAs("results", dir+"nameOfMyResultsFile.txt");
Setting "Display Label" in Set Measurements will allow you to determine
which image the coordinates of the points correspond to.
