mouse wheel & z-stack

[F Javier Díez Guerra]

HI,

Is it possible to associate the movement of the mouse wheel with the
display of images up and down within a z-stack?

Thanks,

The MouseWheelListener interface, added in Java 1.4, is required to
support mouse wheels. Unfortuneltly, imageJ would not work with earlier
versions of Java if stack windows used this interface.

Since plugins do not suffer this restriction (you just cannot run them
with older versions of Java, but ImageJ itself will be unaffected), I just
wrote a plugin which implements such a stackwindow:
