set location of ImageJ window at launch by macro?

[Bill Christens-Barry]

Is there a way to set the location of the main ImageJ window with an ImageJ macro, and ideally via an AutoRun macro in the StartupMacros file? Where is the location to be used in positioning the ImageJ window at launch stored? I don't find it in the "IJ_Props.txt" file.

Thanks.

The location, where ImageJ launch window will appear, is saved in the file IJ_Prefs.txt. Look for ij.x and ij.y

I don't think this can be set from a macro.

Maybe if you create a plugin to set IJ location, so you can call it from your macro (run("plugin", options)):

...
public run(String string){

        int x, y;

        // Parse location from options using:
        // Macro.getOptions();

        ...
        IJ.getInstance().setLocation(x, y);
}

Bill Christens-Barry,

why not consult the "Built-in Macro Functions"?

setLocation(x, y);
getLocationAndSize(x, y, width, height);
screenHeight;
screenWidth;

I do not think that you can set the main IJ window using setLocation, which
was what the original question was about.

However this javascript line would do:

IJ.getInstance().setLocation(10, 10);

If you save that line as a .js file then you can call it from a macro with
runMacro().
