Hello,
I think you want the macro command call("class.method", arg1,
arg2, ...) See
http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/developer/macro/
functions.html#C for more info. The run("command", ...) command is
used to call ImageJ menu commands which is a little different. Your
FITS reader plugin will have to have a static method to return the
contents of the FITS header as a string (or strings that have been
concetenated into one string) to the macro.
Cheers,
Ben
