positioning WaitForUserDialog() via macro command?

[Bill Christens-Barry-2]

I've noticed that the macro command waitForUser() places the dialog in the center of the screen. While the WaitForUserDialog class uses the variables int xloc, yloc to specify the position of this dialog, there apparently is no constructor or macro language syntax allowing the user to pass values for xloc and yloc in the macro language command. Is there an alternative means in the macro language for specifying where the dialog will be positioned on screen?

Thanks.

In the latest ImageJ daily build (1.50d12), the WaitForUserDialog class has a setNextLocation(x,y) method that can be called from a macro. Here is an example:

  x=50; y=200;
  call("ij.gui.WaitForUserDialog.setNextLocation",x,y);
  waitForUser("This dialog is displayed at "+x+","+y);

Wayne,

Perfect - this does just what I was asking about. Thanks.
