Dear Curtis,

That is good news, it is exactly what I am trying to do.

I wrote previously :
"If I use this instance to open an lsm image with 2 channels, the image isn't loaded properly, only one channel is visable and trying to split channels will ask me for arguments and won't be done."

When I was trying to regenerate the problem with minimal code, I figured out that the problem was due to wrong loading of imageJ in the following way:

public class launchij2 {
    launchij2()
    {
        ImageJ ij = new ImageJ();
        ij = imagej.Main.launch();
    }

    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        new launchij2();
    }
}

I learned that <ij = mageJ.Main.launch();> doesn't replace the <ij = new ImageJ();>; but somehow mix things together. Is this an expected behaviour?

Best Regards,
Mohamed Tleis

Hi Mohamed and everyone,

I agree with Johannes that using "new ImageJ()" is better for programmatic use, in that it is more flexible. That said, there is nothing "wrong" per se with calling "imagej.Main.launch()" if what you really want is for the ImageJ application to pop up. So no worries there.

As for your reported problem, I have a couple of questions:

> If I use this instance to open an lsm image with 2 channels

Please note that ImageJ2 does not support LSM out of the box. You need either Bio-Formats or LSM_Reader for that (which at the moment are ImageJ1 plugins, and will be run using the IJ2's legacy layer). If you open an LSM with File > Open right now, I believe it will open as a vanilla TIFF file, which may not read all the metadata, and may misinterpret some Zeiss-specific image parameters.

Hmm, you mean if you launch ImageJ2 from the launcher, then open your LSM file, it behaves as expected? Then there may indeed be a bug lurking here somewhere. Do you have a sample non-working image file you can upload via the Help > Upload Sample Image command? That, along with specific brief instructions about what doesn't work, would be very helpful to diagnose and fix the problem.

Thanks,
Curtis

    Dear Developers,

    from inside my code I am calling imageJ through

    ImageJ ij = new ImageJ.Main.launch();

    If I use this instance to open an lsm image with 2 channels, the
    image isn't loaded properly, only one channel is visable and
    trying to split channels will ask me for arguments and won't be done.
    Note that opening the imageJ from the provided executable works
    fine. I suppose the launch method needs some arguments to be
    passed. Can you please show me an example to how to do this?

    Best Regards,
    M. Tleis
