Description:	RunMacro is a Java program (not a plugin) that runs an ImageJ macro from the command line with no GUI. It uses the IJ.runMacroFile(path, arg) method that was added in ImageJ 1.33c to run a macro and to pass it a single string argument. ImageJ 1.37h and later can also runs macros from the command line using the -batch option documented at the beginning of ImageJ.java. To compile:     javac -classpath ij.jar RunMacro.java To run "analyze.txt", passing it the argument "blobs.tif":     java -cp ij.jar:. RunMacro analyze.txt Blobs.tif (Unix)     java -cp ij.jar;. RunMacro analyze.txt Blobs.tif (Windows) You can also run this macro by running ImageJ with the -batch command line option:     java -jar ij.jar -batch analyze blobs.tif Use I/O redirection to save macro output in a file:     java -jar ij.jar -batch analyze blobs.tif>results.txt Four example command line macros are in MacroRunner folder:     table.txt: Generates a sine/cosine table     analyze.txt: Runs the particle analyzer on an image     process.txt: Analyzes all the tiff images in a folder     count.txt: Counts the number of lines in a text file OS X and Linux users can create an alias something like this alias run 'java -cp /usr/local/ij/ij.jar:/usr/local/ij RunMacro' that enables macros to be run by typing something like run analyze blobs.tif
