Hi Xin,

Did you extend ImageCanvas as described in Panel_Window example?
(http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/plugins/download/Panel_Window.java)

As TextPanel is a subclass of java.awt.Panel, adding a panel should be no
problem...

....

 void addPanel() {
            add(new TextPanel("Title"));
            pack();
      Dimension screen = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
            Point loc = getLocation();
            Dimension size = getSize();
            if (loc.y+size.height>screen.height)
                getCanvas().zoomOut(0, 0);
         }
....

Regards,

Patrick

Hi, Patrick,

Thanks for the information, what I tried to put in the ImageWindow was
actually an object of ij.text.TextPanel.

So, any idea?

Xin
