Learning ImageJ scripting language

T a b l e   o f   c o n t e n t s

Once you are familiar with the various tools and menus of ImageJ, it's time to move to the dark side of the force and to start using the programming features of IJ via its macro/script. That's really useful specially if you have repetitive tasks and/or if you need precise data exploration.
Don't worry, learning a programming language is not so complicated and ...May the Force be with you...
