point inside mask (mask inside mask)

[Rainer M. Engel]

Is there a function or macro that does this already?

Is the point X,Y inside the area of mask N?
Returning "true" if the condition is met.

At this time I only see workarounds with boolean operations with the
advantage of being able to test if masks intersect a.s.o.

Best Regards,
Rainer

Convert the mask to a selection using Edit>Selection>Create Selection and use the selectionContains() macro function to determine if the the point is inside the selection.

   run("Create Selection");
   if (selectionContains(x, y))
      print(x+","+y+" is inside the mask");

Thanks a lot for your input.
I just found the plugin on the website last night and tried to run it and got the error messages. I'm not familiar with the editor's intended logic.  I have not written plugins or macros for Image J.  I wish I had the time to explore them, but don't right now.  I am hoping to find a ready-made plugin that will measure the fluorescence intensities of microscopic images of cells.
Thanks.
