[ome-users] Running Bio-Formats from a plugin

[Balaji Ramalingam (Staff)]

Hi,

Thank you for reporting your issue.
It would be great if you could expand the "options" that were used to open the image within the plugin.

Could you please check the following,

  1.  open ImageJ. Go to Plugins->Macro-> Record
  2.  In the Macro Recorder window , please use the drop down menu for "Record" and select "Java" as the option.
  3.  Repeat the Manual workflow described in your post (which opens the file within a fraction of a second).This will record the api method call , in the Recorder window.
  4.  And check if the "options" in your plugin, matches the "options" in the Macro Recorder, for the IJ.Run method.

If they match, there should be no difference in terms of performance in the import call.
Please let us know, if you find otherwise.

Best,
Balaji

Subject: [ome-users] Running Bio-Formats from a plugin

Hi,

When I run Bio-Formats Importer from ImageJ, it opens an image file of size ~ 20MB within a fraction of a second. When I open the same image file by calling Bio-Formats Importer from inside a plugin using IJ.run("Bio-Formats Importer", "options"), it takes a long time to open the file (~ 10 sec). It starts with a white background and then after about ~5-10 seconds, the image is displayed. Can anybody tell me what am I doing wrong when calling BF Importer from inside a plugin?

System info: I have ImageJ 1.49v running on WIndows 7, 64-bit computer and I have installed bioformats_package.jar (ver 5.1.2) in the plugins folder of ImageJ.

Thanks,

Ved
