You get get the profile data without displaying a plot window. For example, this JavaScript prints the mean, min and max value of the pixels along the current line selection:

  imp = IJ.getImage();
  pp = new ProfilePlot(imp);
  profile = pp.getProfile();
  ip = new FloatProcessor(profile.length,1,profile);
  stats = ip.getStatistics();
  print(stats);
