saving complete content of "results window"

[JKate]

Hi!

I created a macro in ImageJ to analyzed a sequence of pictures. Just calculating the mean of a selected area in every picture in a folder. The results are written in the "Results" window. After that I use the "Analyze" tool "Summarize" to get an average of all calculated values. The output also appears in the "results" window. But saving this window by using saveAs("Measurements", ""); didn't save the "Sammarize" calculations. Just the values before.

This is my macro:

dir = getDirectory("Choose a Directory ");
list = getFileList(dir);

run("Specify...");
getSelectionBounds(x, y, width, height);

setBatchMode(true);

for (i=0; i<list.length; i++) {
        path = dir+list[i];
        showProgress(i, list.length);
        open(path);
        measure = dir+list[i];
        makeOval(x, y, width, height);
        run("Measure");
        close();
}

        run("Summarize");

saveAs("Measurements", "");

Is there any possibility to save the whole content of the "Results" window?

This bug is fixed in the 1.44a daily build.

On a related note.  I'm trying to read the results of "Summarize" which appear at the bottom of the Results Window using getResult("Column", row), but get an error message "Row (257) out of range" when trying to read the rows corresponding to the output from "Summarize".  Is there a way to do this?

You can read the rows created by the "Summarize" command using the getInfo() and split() macro functions. Here is an example:

  selectWindow("Results");
  table = getInfo();
  rows = split(table, "\n");
  for (row=0; row<rows.length; row++) {
     values = split(rows[row]);
     for (col=0; col<values.length; col++)
         print("row="+row+", col="+col+", value="+values[col]);
  }
