two questions/wishes, one string conversion (removeCamelCase)

[Rainer M. Engel]

Hey..

1) I would like to use/see something like a DividerLine in dialogues of
Macros/Plugins. Opening bUnwarpJ I recognized something like this "-----
Advanced Options -----", which appeared to be some kind of neat
workaround but not that elegant.


2) I like to work with the Log-Window to get feedback during macro
execution. Its window is created at the exact same position where it was
closed before but my adjustment in size is gone every time. If the
topleft position is stored, couldn't that be done for the dimension of
this window too?


3) Once upon a time there was a need to get rid of CamelCase, so here is
a macro with a function to do so.

> string = "CamelCaseIsNiceInFilenamesButNotInsideOfDocuments";
> print("original: "+string);
> mod = removeCamelCase(string);
> print("modified: "+mod);
>
> function removeCamelCase(string) {
> mod = replace(string, "[a-z]{1}[A-Z]{1}", "#%#");
> frags = split(mod, "%");
> offset = 0;
> coll = "";
> for (i=0; i<frags.length; i++) {
> segL = lengthOf(frags[i]);
> str = substring(string, offset, (offset+segL));
> coll = coll+str+" ";
> offset = offset+segL;
> }
> return coll;
> }

Best regards,
Rainer

Hi Rainer,

maybe a few possibilities for the first point of your wishlist:
In a macro:
  Dialog.addMessage("___________________________");
(Underscore characters blend into a nice line)

There are also all the box drawing characters starting at unicode 2500hex (9472 decimal). The following works well on a Mac, not sure about Windows, with its poor unicode suppport:
  lineString = fromCharCode(9473,9473,9473,9473,9473,9473,9473,9473);
  Dialog.addMessage(lineString + " Advanced Options "+ lineString);

You get a thinner line with 9472.

In Java, you can have genericDialog.addPanel, and you can add a Canvas to the Panel. There you can draw whatever you like.

You can add bold headings to checkbox groups. There is an example at

The "Log" window remembers its dimensions in the ImageJ 1.47h daily build.

Thank you both for these suggestions, help..
.. and of course the build.
