IJ.run() and IJ.doCommand() can be passed any ImageJ menu command. Use
the Plugins>Utilities>List Commands (or Find Commands in v1.41) command
to get a list of all the menu commands. You can also get a command name
by running the command with the recorder running. Both IJ.run() and
IJ.doCommand() run the specified command but IJ.run() does not return
until the command finishes whereas IJ.doCommand() runs the command in a
separate thread and returns immediately. You can use use either
IJ.run("Threshold...") or IJ.doCommand("Threshold...") to open the
Threshold window.
