Dear all,

Thanks for the responses. I think the Label is reserved for image file
name. If I use  setResult("Label", row, string) function, is it going to
replace the content (image name) in the original Label column. If this
is the case, I do not want to do it, as I still need the column to tell
me which image I am processing. I want to do something like
setResult("Operator", row, string), but I found ImageJ want the string
to be a numeric.

Thanks,

Zhengyu

Dear Dr. Pang,

how do you wish to set the row name? By means of macro?

If so, you may have a look at the manual "built-in macro functions" at

<http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/developer/macro/functions.html>

There you will find:

Call setResult("Label", row, string) to set the row label.
