What a great plugin!

The best way to publish a plugin is to look at example pages at
http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/plugins/. Take one, and edit the HTML to suit
your needs. Then, send it as an attachment to Wayne.

A few notes about the plugin:

You could bundle it as a jar with a '_' in the name; such a jar can be
dropped into the plugins/ folder directly (without unpacking).

The showAbout() method shows a wrong description.

In source/compiling as well as source/install, you reference Snakes_.java,
which is not there.

For plain users, the three generated images are only distracting; the
plugin does not really need them. Maybe show a dialog asking if the images
should be shown, or alternatively do away with them altogether?

Ciao,
