Hi listers,

I´m still considering the different possibilities to use ImageJ as an
external "processor" for another App.

One idea clearly is to use the macro and batch options. However, this has
some disadvantages,
one being that when repeatedly doing this, ImageJ will be restarted all
over again any time, which will
make processing slow.

So I was wondering, another option would be to have ImageJ already running
from the start and
send "commands" to ImageJ via a network socket. What exactly a command is,
would need to be
defined, however I think that re-using Albert Cardonas CLI interface that
relies on macro language
would be a very valid option.

So, has anybody already done something similar? Any suggestions?

Joachim
