Greetings.

I am a student at KIT, Germany, currently working on carbon
nanoparticles with the Scanning Electron Microscope and all new to this
list.

I am using ImageJ to make linescans over Nanoparticles. As I have a lot
of images, I wanted to create a macro that automates the process a bit.
After manually drawing a line, I want the macro to create a plot profile
and save the data as text in a file. So far, I have:

run("Plot Profile");
saveAs("Text", "/path/to/file/Values.txt");

The plot profile is created, but then I get an error message stating
that a TextWindow is needed. I searched the manual and the web for
several hours, but found nothing. Someone else on this mailing list also
had this problem, but never got an answer.

As I need the data for a meeting tomorrow evening, help would be much
appreciated. :)

Thanks in advance!
