[ImageJ-devel] ImageJ2 scripting

[Mark Hiner]

Hi Jan,

>an error message is displayed: "A Dataset is required but none exist."

This was due to limitations with the input preprocessor presenting the list
of datasets. Since ImagePluses aren't explicitly tracked by the IJ2
framework, having an ImagePlus recognized as a Dataset requires some extra
layers. We had covered the single input case (which is why your first
script worked) but not the general multi-input case. There is an issue
tracking the multi-input
<https://github.com/imagej/imagej-legacy/issues/106> case, which I resolved
today. So this should work as intended in our next release - and thank you
for the motivation to wrap this up!

You can also manually enable ImagePlus <> Dataset synchronization to ensure
ImagePluses always have a corresponding Dataset:
http://imagej.net/Compatibility#Translation_of_data_structures

>(where can this title be set, by the way?)

For the multiple choice input selection, the labels are based on the name
of the input type. Since the input type is Dataset, the Dataset name is
used (which delegates to the wrapped ImgPlus). In your code you are
applying labels to the Display, but not the underlying dataset - if you
name the ImgPlus, or explicitly create a Dataset and set its name, that
name will propagate up to the input chooser (and the Display). As a side
note, you should use the net.imagej.ImgPlus instead of the net.imglib2.meta.

An updated script would be:


   # @DisplayService display
   # @OpService ops
   # @net.imagej.Dataset inputData1
   # @net.imagej.Dataset inputData2

   from net.imagej import ImgPlus

   display.createDisplay(ImgPlus(inputData1, "my1"))
   display.createDisplay(ImgPlus(inputData2, "my2"))

Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Best,
Mark
