running a plugin from a macro WITH options selected

[rrmarino]

Hello,

I need to run the plugin differentials  (http://bigwww.epfl.ch/thevenaz/differentials/) with the option "Gradient Magnitude" from a macro

When I choose Macro Record in ImageJ menu, it just records:" run("Differentials "); "  , which opens the plugin window if I run it from a macro.

What I actually need is to run the plugin WITH the option "Gradient Magnitude" with no option window at all. I tried already " run("Differentials ", "Gradient Magnitude"); " with no success.

Is there anyway to do it?

Thanks

RMarino

This plugin is not compatible with the ImageJ macro language because it does not use the GenericDialog class. Fortunately, the source code is available so you can easily work around this problem. Copy the file "Differentials_.java" into the ImageJ plugins folder, open it by dragging and dropping it onto the "ImageJ" window, change the line

    private static int operation = LAPLACIAN;

to

    private static int operation = GRADIENT_MAGNITUDE;

remove, or comment out, these 10 lines

    differentialsDialog dialog = new differentialsDialog(IJ.getInstance(),
        "Differentials", true, operation);
    GUI.center(dialog);
    dialog.setVisible(true);
    cancel = dialog.getCancel();
    operation = dialog.getOperation();
    dialog.dispose();
    if (cancel) {
        return;
    }

then compile and run the plugin using Plugins>Compile and Run command.

You are the best Wayne! Thank you!

That's why ImageJ is the best image processing software in the market!
