Hello All,

I am trying to incorporate the directionality plugin into a macro I'm writing and would like to have it analyze an image and then have the histogram of orientations be saved into a file.  I don't need a plot, and ideally I'd like no windows to pop-up while its analyzing.

My problem is that with the code I have below I get three windows that pop-up: the results, a plot, and a summary window.  I can save the results table and close it but I can't seem to access the plot and the summary window from the macro to close them.  Ideally, one of two options would be possible:

1) I access the Directionality plugin without opening any windows and just save a histogram of the results (don't need the Gaussian fit that it does either) to a .csv
2) I access the Directionality plugin and close the plot and summary windows and save the results to a .csv

Either is fine, one is obviously a little more clean but I'd take either.  The reason why the other windows are a problem is because I'd like to batch analyze a few hundred images at a time and thus after analyzing the images I have to manually close hundreds of pop-up windows (also the hundreds of open windows tend to hog a lot of RAM).

Thanks in advance.

    open(name0);
        run("Invert");
            run("Skeletonize");
                    run("Directionality", "method=[Fourier components] nbins=180 histogram=-90 display_table");
            saveAs("Results", path19);
                run("Close");
                    close();
                run("Close All");

I'm working with the latest release of FIJI.  I've also attached an example segmented image.
