Dear Stein,

I understand, many thanks for the clever settlement.

I figure then that the macro can run a first Rotate command with the
desired settings and the angle fixed to 0 (this should do nothing) and a
second Rotate command without parameters, to allow interaction:

run("Rotate... ", "angle=0 grid=20 interpolation=Bicubic");
run("Rotate... ");

In this way, I'd only need to activate preview and find the right angle.

Javier

> As you already found out, you must either call the command with parameters which executes it right away, or call it without parameters which opens the dialog and allows you to do the rotation in an interactive mode. Subsequent calls will remember the chosen interpolation and grid settings. So just use run("Rotate... "); in your macro and the dialog should appear and allow you to adjust the rotation as needed. When I tested this, all settings except the "Preview" checkbox was remembered from call to call. A restart of ImageJ reverts to the default settings. A dummy call with the parameters set will result in new "default" values being set for your session.

What I am trying to avoid is to change the grid size and interpolation settings every time I open a new image, before finding the right rotation angle and running the Rotate command. The rotation angle needs to be manually adjusted for each individual image.
