Sorry to ask, why a plugin? You have a 2 or 3 lines macro that does what you
want. My take on this is that plugins are useful extensions for doing things
not currently available, but writing a plugin that just calls the commands
already existent and callable from a macro, may not give you a big advantage.

There are some technical reasons why you may want to use a plugin instead,
like thread safety. However if you just want to analyse some images, I would
use the extra time that will take writing and debugging the plugin to analyse
the images with the already existing macro.

Anyway, to run the particle analyzer in a plugin, you need to call the
ParticleAnalyzer class with your image's ImageProcessor.

Have a look here:
