Dear All,

We're using the nice Cell Counter plugin by Kurt De Vos, including the setType macros to speed up the selection of the different category counters:

   macro "Type 1 [1]" {call("CellCounter.setType", "1");}
   macro "Type 2 [2]" {call("CellCounter.setType", "2");}

Would it be possible to extend these macros to also perform a mouse-click (add a marker)? Thus, when activating e.g. macro “1” I would like it to first switch to the “Type 1” counter and subsequently add a marker at the current position of the cursor.

Would this be possible or would this require changes to the Cell Counter plugin code?

In the same way it would be nice with a macro to “delete” the last marker point?

We’re using Cell Counter to count the number of seabirds in huge seabird colonies, but our current assistant is developing injuries to his wrist due to all the mouse clicks. I would be grateful for your help to solve this problem.

Thanks

Flemming
