Hello!

I was wondering if anyone had any helpful information on importing CSV's or XLS files into the Manual Tracking Plugin for ImageJ. I have a CSV from IDL (using this stuff: http://www.physics.emory.edu/~weeks/idl/) that I fixed to have all the proper column names and (I thought) proper formats for values. However, when I tried to open the file in Manual Tracking with the corresponding Tiff stack, all that the plugin recognized were the Data # entries in the first column. Everything else was 0.

I am trying to open these files in the MT plugin because of the handy dots/lines overlay and was also hoping I could display the track number of each object I'm tracking to double check that IDL is doing what it's supposed to.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Aaron
