[ImageJ-devel] Macros and scripting in Imagej 2.0

[Lee Kamentsky]

Hi all,
What are the plans and timeline for bringing macros and scripting into 
ImageJ 2.0? I'm looking for a way to programatically run a script from 
CellProfiler. I'm guessing that, as a first pass, I create a legacy 
plugin for some ImageJ 1.0 plugin that takes the script as its argument 
- I could really use pointers on how to do this. Also, I'm not sure 
where scripting is on the roadmap and what the planned architecture is. 
I'd opt for a macro / scripting service. As a start, that sort of thing 
could talk to the legacy code, but would end up using the same 
interfaces to talk to the IJ2 code. I'm also guessing that the IJ1 
scripting engine might only need minor modifications to reference 
displays instead of ImagePlus.
