[ImageJ-devel] Developping new UI for ImageJ

I wrote this up a while back. It only touches a bit on your topics (I think) at a high level but maybe it would help. Hopefully it isn't outdated anymore.

Cheers,

Jay

Also the JavaFX App is started in ImageJ. I could even generate a menu and all. I can call the "Open file" plugin and it uses the JavaFX routines to show the file dialogs and all. It's great. However, not much happens after that. My next questions goes about to the ImageDisplay stack. I have troubles understanding the "call stack" after the image has been open. What the difference between the DisplayService, ImageDisplay and ImageDisplayViewer ? An image is open but who decide of what and how ? Do I have to overwrite the ImageDisplayService or is it UI agnostic ?

I would like to channel the image windows, which are created and handled by ImageJ, to JavaFX elements. In other words, when a plugin wants to display an image, this image would be displayed in a JavaFX element.

Specifically, you should take a look at the classes in https://github.com/hohonuuli/assignments-openimaj/tree/master/src/main/java/org/mbari/javafx/scene/image <https://github.com/hohonuuli/assignments-openimaj/tree/master/src/main/java/org/mbari/javafx/scene/image>

There’s a method that takes a javafx.scene.image.Image <http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/javafx/api/javafx/scene/image/Image.html> instead of a URL too. You’ll still need to implement a conversion between ImageJ/imglib2 image formats and JavaFX’s Image. There’s also a Swing class the does something similar (e.g. Swing.namedWindow(...) in the project.
