Hi Karen,

Do I understand correctly that you want to open an image from within the plugin? You can use the OpenDialog to allow the user to select a file, and then actually open the image using an ImagePlus constructor:

//display dialog
OpenDialog od = new OpenDialog("Select image...","");

//get ImagePlus object
ImagePlus imp = new ImagePlus(od.getDirectory() + od.getFileName());

I hope this solves your problem.

Kind regards,
Jaap Kokorian
