set measurements

[Adam Hacking]

Hi,

I am wondering if it is possible to define some of the items in the "Set Measurements" menu when using run("measurement") ? (ie limit to threshold). Can this be done from inside a macro ?

Also I have looked for an example of how to ask the user to select an ROI, then limit analysis (incl threshold) to this area, but I do not seem to making any progress. I would be grateful if anyone could point me int he right direction........

Many thanks for your help !

Adam

The macro recorder gives you the keywords you need to use, e.g.

run("Set Measurements...", "area limit redirect=None decimal=3");

Hi all,

Here is a new plugin that halts macro execution and asks the user for  
some action, e.g. selecting a ROI:
