I fear that you are trying to do something with the macro language that it
was not designed for. Remember, the macro language is meant to be very
simple so it is easy to learn, it is not meant to be fast (and it is
indeed not fast) nor a fully-fledged scripting language. Javascript is.
Sure, you may get Wayne to extend the macro language, but everytime the
syntax gets extended, the macro interpreter becomes more brittle since the
original design was not intended to be extended in that way.
In your case, the easiest may be a work-around: you *can* set the ROI
thusly:
dummy = new float[myT.length];
image.setRoi(new PointRoi(myT, dummy, dummy.length));
Ciao,
Johannes
