Hello to everyone,

I am new to working with ImageJ and intend to use it in my master thesis
at my university. I already worked a bit with ImageJ as well as some
plugins from the UI. The documentation on how to use ImageJ directly
from a program seems a bit thin to me and I am having troubles with it.
I want to do the following things:

- Process/Binary/Make Binary
- Process/Binary/Outline
- Run a plugin (Plugins/Hough Circles)
http://rsbweb.nih.gov/ij/plugins/hough-circles.html

Can anyone give me a few pointers into the right direction or some code
examples on how to use ImageJ in this fashion? I don't want to use it as
an external tool via macros/scripting but integrate it into my
application. If there is a better library to do this I would also be
grateful for information in this direction.

Thanks a lot in advance,
Mathias
