Hi Glen,

I think there was an “=“ somehow missing in “starting 1".

Try this (you might have to replace the automatic curly quotes with normal ones):

run("Label...", "format=0 starting=1 interval=1 x=5 y=24 font=24 text=[ Frames] range=1-1000 use”);

This line labels the first frame (using the Mitosis sample) with 1 as desired. But unfortunately, when I use the overlay option, I get the same label on every frame instead of an incremented label. This seems to be an overlay-specific issue that was discussed recently on this thread<https://list.nih.gov/cgi-bin/wa.exe?A2=ind1606&L=IMAGEJ&D=0&1=IMAGEJ&9=A&J=on&d=No+Match;Match;Matches&z=4&P=29225>:

If you can use a burned-on label instead of the overlay, the label will increment properly. (Remove the “use” option.)

Hope this helps.

Hello,
Instructing the Image>Stacks>Label… command to print frame number on a stack, starting with ‘1’, records as this:
run("Label...","format=0 starting 1 interval=1 x=5 y=24 font=24 text=[ Frames] range=1-1000 use”);
The Label… preview displays correctly the first slice labeled as ‘1’.

However, running this line in a macro prints ‘0’ on the first frame.
I can work around it, but is an inconsistency.
