Re: Open Sequentially as stack plugin questions

Luciano,

The plugin "Open sequentially as stack" will only open the kind of 
images that the Opener class can, which do not include the SPE files. I 
don't know how your SPE files are opened; if it's a plugin, or even 
some settings in the "Import/Raw...", you can call it from within a 
customized version of the "Open sequentially as stack" plugin. Look for 
the line:

    Opener o = new Opener();

and replace the

    ImagePlus imp = o.openImage(dir_name, first_item.name);

by whatever method opens the SPE file into an ImagePlus.


About jython, anything that can be done with it can also be done on the 
Java side, but it would took much more code to acomplish the same 
thing. For example in jython downcasting is automatic, so in the ROI 
Manager example

> roi_names = rm.getComponents()[0].getItems()

one can call the method getItems() from class java.awt.List over a 
java.awt.Component, because such Component instance is but a List that 
has been stored as a Component. This is because python stores class 
identity in the object itself, not in the name used to refer to it.

The main issue with using jython/python is that it becomes so 
convenient one doesn't want to program in any clunky languages such as 
java anymore. Good luck with that!
