Hi all!

I have spent ages Googling to no avail, I appreciate any input!

Summary: Is there a way to Macro read text fields present on a plugin GUI?

Longer version:

I am using the plugin OpenMIMS (not mine!), a microscope image editor for ImageJ. It's specifically designed to work with the files output from the microscope.

The plugin (please do try it out) reads in header information about the sample and settings, and displays them on a seperate image.
OpenMIMS Window
The Macro Recorder seems to have no access to this window, nor any of the functions on it, and I've been trying my hardest to access the information on it by macro.

What I really need is to read off the raster size of the image (50 um), which varies from image to image.

Does anyone have any advice? I've tried looking through the java source, but it's a bit too much for me, and I seem to have trouble recompiling it. (and I'd rather not take that route anyway)

Cheers,

Tom
