toggle overlay

[Christian Goosmann]

Dear Wizards out there,
I'd like to set a keyboard shortcut to toggle between 'overlay shown'
and 'overlay hidden'. I found no such function so I thought of writing a
short macro. Can someone point me to a command that does this or a
function that returns whether an existing overlay is hidden or shown at
the moment?
Thanks a lot
Christian

Here is a macro that toggles the overlay:

   macro "Toggle Overlay [f1]" {
      if (Overlay.size>0) {
         if (Overlay.hidden)
            Overlay.show;
         else
            Overlay.hide;
      }
   }

Add it to the StartupMacros file to have it installed when ImageJ is launched.
