Here is a macro that adds three line profiles to the Result table and
then saves the table as a tab-delimited text file. It is based on the
GetProfileExample macro that is linked to from the description of the
getProfile() macro function at <
http://rsbweb.nih.gov/ij/developer/macro/functions.html
>.
makeLine(1, 90, 318, 90);
profile = getProfile;
record(profile, "y=90");
makeLine(1, 95, 318, 95);
profile = getProfile;
record(profile, "y=95");
makeLine(1, 100, 318, 100);
profile = getProfile;
record(profile, "y=100");
updateResults;
path = getDirectory("home")+"Results.xls";
saveAs("Measurements", path);
function record(profile, label) {
for (i=0; i<profile.length; i++)
setResult(label, i, profile[i]);
}
