> I need to make several different types of linear measurements from each object and save them in a way that can be imported into a database. For example, I might want to make 2 (or more) measurements from each object, so they would automatically go to row 1, col 1; row1, col 2, row 2, col 1, row 2, col 2, etc. Each object would be on its own row and each type of measurement would have it's own column. The idea is to specify the number of columns (data types per object) make the measurements in a specific order and have them appear in the proper place automatically. Is there any way to do this in ImajeJ?

Hello Ralph,
have a look at ObjectJ, which supports composite objects. A composite object may contain any number of "item types", i.e. points, (segmented) lines, polygons or rois that have specific names and colors, but still are encapsulated inside a single object. An object occupies a single row in the integrated ObjectJ results table, that you can extend horizontally (define more columns) as you need to measure more parameters per object.
Simple geometric measurements like length, distance, angle, area etc can be directly defined from the Columns Panel. Any manipulation like moving/killing items or objects in the image/stack will cause an automatic update of results (and statistics), as objects are actively linked to the ObjectJ reaults table.
For non-trivial parameters, and for intensity measurements, you need to add some macro commands for (re-)calculation.
If you have questions, I can help you to get started. Look at:
