ImageJA / News: Recent posts

ImageJA has inherited a batch mode from ImageJ. This mode can be used to batch process a lot of images with a script, without showing any images, or even the ImageJ main window.

This mode is extremely valuable when you have literally hundreds of images, and want to process them on a cluster.

For technical reasons, however, it is not possible to run ImageJA (or for that matter, ImageJ) without having a graphical desktop. You can install a virtual X11 server, but that is complicated and should not be needed to begin with.... read more

Since Git is much more apt to develop in a distributed manner, there is a Git repository available at http://repo.or.cz/w/imageja.git/. At the moment, the main development is still done using sourceforge's CVS, and the Git repository only tracking CVS, but it will soon switch to Git, with sourceforge's CVS only tracking the main development.

Major benefits of Git:

- easy branching and merging (indeed, syncing to ImageJ's newest version is done with Git since long ago)... read more

The current CVS code has had 10 patches applied to it submited by Dscho. The changes include the following:

- Since the attributes must not contain spaces in order to be usable in
macros, they should be replaced by underscores.

- If a message box pops open, I want to close it with the return key.

- When there's an exception in some plugin called from a macro, it should stop.

- It is annoying that you cannot install a plugin from within ImageJ. It is even further annoying that ImageJ needs to be restarted to use it. This patch fixes both issues.... read more

Build.xml has been updated so that it no longer complains about source not being 1.1. A 'patch' was submited to ImageJ. Also updated file to be more NetBeans friendly.

The initial snapshot of the ImageJ source has been imported into CVS. Some minor changes have been made, but nothing to big yet!
