Aim:
Modify the macro from exercise 14.04 so that it runs in batch-mode. It should report the start, the end and the progress to the log-window.
You can use the command print("\\Update1: <your message>") to update
the line 1 in the log file.
Useful commands:
setBatchMode(true) Switches to batch processing. Images are not shown anymore.setBatchMode("exit and display") Exits batch-mode and shows all images still open.Your code starts after this line
path = getDirectory("Input directory"); // Ask the user for the input directory
// report the start of the macro to the log-file
// start batch mode here
files = getFileList(path); // get an array containing the names of all files in the directory path
File.mkdir(path + "out"); // create the output directory
for(i=0; i<files.length; i++) { // iterate over all files
image = files[i]; // get the name of the current file
// report the progress here
if (indexOf(image, "dapi") != -1 && indexOf(image, ".tif") != -1) { // if the current file is a dapi-image...
open(path + image);
imageRHOD = replace(image, "dapi", "rhod");
open(path + imageRHOD);
run("Merge Channels...", "c2=["+imageRHOD+"] c3=["+image+"]");
save(path + "out/" + replace(image, "dapi ", ""));
close();
}
}
// end batch mode here
// report the end of the macro to the log-file
Your code ends before this line
The code below is for automatically checking the result. Please ignore it!
ok = (nImages==0);
ok = (ok && File.exists(path+"/out"));
files = getFileList(path+"/out");
ok = (ok && files.length==3);
if (ok)
showMessage("That's right. Great, you did it!");
else
showMessage("Your result is wrong! Please check your macro and try again!");
