I am new to writing Java (2 months), but find the ImageJ a very interesting
tool, and hope to write a few plugins to "quickly" test some imaging
concepts. This work requires me to compare three images. The available
examples, i have found, show the image information being taken from the
image selected via the GUI however i need my plugin to read the contents
from a fixed directory on the host PC. The image names will also be hard
coded by the camera attached to the PC. If you have a pointer to a similar
plugin or example it would be greatly appreciated.
I have tried to read 3 bitmap images from the same directory and have been
unable to set the correct path. Could you let me know from which location
the path should be set relative to (i am running Eclipse on my PC):
plugin directory path: C:\Code\Java\MyPlugin\src\test_.java
image directory path: C:\Code\Java\MyPlugin\images\xxx.bmp
I have tried using the full system path and the relative path and neither
one seems to work.
I am trying to use, to point to and open a test image:
String imagePath = IJ.getDirectory("C:\Code\Java\MyPlugin\images\test1.bmp");
dirPath = IJ.openAsString(imagePath);
ImagePlus imp2 = IJ.openImage(dirPath);
In the above code, the "slash" direction reflects that shown on the Eclipse
tool, please let me know if is need to parse this and change the "slash"
direction.
thank you, Dean
