Is it possible to use the builtin ROI manager function rather than Multi
measure (for differences see
http://www.optinav.com/ImageJplugins/Multi-Measure.htm )
With the builtin you have access to the ROI manager macro commands which
could automate the task:

roiManager(cmd)
Runs an ROI Manager command, where cmd must be "Add", "Add & Draw",
"Deselect", "Measure", "Draw" or "Combine". The ROI Manager is opened if it
is not already open. With v1.34k or later, use roiManager("reset") to delete
all items on the list. For examples, refer to the RoiManagerMacros,
RoiManagerAddParticles and ROI Manager Stack Demo macros. Requires v1.33f.
