in my macro, 'showOptions' is simply a String variable. Actually, after sending the email I noticed that it is not nice programming style, because the value for 'show' is only 'outline'; the other options are unrelated to 'show'. Sorry for the confusion.
So it should better be (for better readability; it does not change the function):
run("Analyze Particles...", "size=350-Infinity circularity=0.00-1.00 show=Outlines"+moreOptions);

Is there a way to do it in one line or do I have to write a seperate line for each case, e.g when display_results=true, exclude_edges=false, Add_to_manager=false, etc.
