Dear all,
In the release notes of the last version of NeuronJ (1.1, see
http://imagescience.bigr.nl/meijering/software/neuronj/releases.html),
is stated :
"It is now possible to export the tracing vertex coordinates as tab- or
comma-delimited text files. This facilitates using the tracings in other
programs or plugins, such as for example the Straighten plugin."
That's precisely what I'm trying to do. I get delimited text files
corresponding to NeuronJ tracings, but how to get from those files to
draw a tracing in the Straighten Plugin ?
My idea is to first create a segmented/curved linear ROI from the file,
and then laungh the Straighten Plugin. Do anybody know how I can get a
ROI to be build from a text file containing coordinates ?
Secondly, do you think it's doable to control either NeuronJ or
Straighten via a macro ? What arguments can I pass to Straighten to
automate the Straighten procedure ? Do I have to learn Java and write a
proper plugin for that ?
The possibility of controling/automating complex plugins like NeuronJ
and Straighten is what motivates me to switch from Macro writing to
Plugin writing. Is it possible anyway ? The source of the NeuronJ plugin
is not avalaible, even if I could find a copy of the 1.0 source
somewhere (previous version was open).
