measure and label question

[Alpesh Khushalchand Shukla]

Hello all, I need some help recovering some data.

I was using "measure and label" macro to measure
lengths of line like objects in an image by manually
selecting using the line tool and then pressing F1.
After finishing with measuring (and getting a table of
results in another window), I forgot to copy and paste
this set of results and I measured another area in the
same image, which made the previous set of results
disappear. I didn't know it would disappear if I
measure something else. Now I do have an image with
all the manually drawn lines with numbers on them. Is
it possible to recover the lost length data?

It will save me a lot of time if I can recover the
length data.

Thanks
Alpesh

Sorry, I do not know how to recover the length data. What I can do,
however, is fix ImageJ so this should not happen in the future. In
version 1.37b and later, when using "Measure and Label" or similar
macros, you will get a "Save Results?" dialog when switching between
measuring lines and measuring areas. Macro writers will be able to
suppress this dialog by running in batch mode.

HELLO Wayne,

You send an attachment (1.37b) inthe last email and I
am a little confused how to use it. It does not look
like imageJ application, it gives just a java icon and
the menu is showing the name ij.imageJ (was the name
changed? I also realized that I was using 1.34 till
now)

Also when I install the measure and label macro,
nothing happens. I mean when I press F1 I dont get the
result dialog box.

Am I doing something wrong?
