ImageJ Plugins
The LONI_Reader jar file contains these ImageJ plugins:
- UIF reader
- UCF reader
- OBJ reader (contour obj, only)
- UVL reader
About the plugins
The NIH computer application ImageJ provides a portable, capable tool to view 2 dimensional images.
The data types this program can read may be extended by small modules, called "plugins".
This project provides plugins to read common file formats that a frequently used in LONI, but
which are rarely used outside of LONI.
General Notes
Requirements
- You must have ImageJ installed on your computer.
- You must be using Java, verison 1.5, or newer.
Installation
- locate the folder or directory where ImageJ is installed
- a subdirectory will be named "plugins". It, in turn, has a directory named "Input-Output"
- Place a copy of the ShapeTools ImageJ plugin file, LONI_Reader.jar into this directory.
- Start ImageJ. The plugins are available under the menu: Plugins/Input-Output.
Contour reader plugin Notes.
The two contour readers (OBJ and UCF) overlay their contours
onto a picture. Because of this, they
- first ask you to select the image on which the contour(s) will be superimposed
- then ask you to select the contour file( (ucf, or obj)
The OBJ reader has an additional step.
You are asked to verify, or change, the bounding box that contains the vertices of the
contour. You are setting x and y coordinate values of the top ,left, bottom and right
image pixels. A default value is automatically provided. You should replace these values
with coordinates pertinent to your use.
