I’m trying to install a Python script in ImageJ. My preference is to use the script with ImageJ 1.x but can use Fiji if required.
I am trying to use the script with ImageJ 1.x by placing it in the plugins folder. The script appears in the plugins menu but when I try to run it I get an error that it can't find __future__
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named __future__
This makes no sense to me as the __future__ module is being used to import the with_statement module and python version is listed as :
2.5.4rc1 (2.5:723492dbab02, Feb 8 2013, 10:13:55)
[Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (Oracle Corporation)]
from __future__ import with_statement is specifically designed for use with Python versions 2.5.x
https://docs.python.org/3/library/future.html
So ... moving on ...
I tired to use Fiji instead since it is based on ImageJ2.
I'm able to paste the code into the Script Editor using File > New > Script ...
The code runs when executed from there. However, when saved I can't get it to show up in the plugins menu. I've tried saving it to :
Fiji/plugins
Fiji/plugins/Scripts
Fiji/plugins/Scripts/Plugins
The file name has an _ in it.
The version of Fiji I'm running is ImageJ 2.0.0 rc-68/1.52e / Java1.8.0_172 (64-bit)
The version of ImageJ 1.x I'm running is ImageJ 1.52e / Java1.8.0_172 (64-bit)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
The canonical place to put scripts for ImageJ2 is scripts/Foo/Bar/My_Script.py, if you want it located in the menu at Foo > Bar > My Script.
It also works for backwards compatibility to use plugins or plugins/Scripts. However, there was recently a critical bug preventing scripts from appearing in the plugins-based locations; see this thread. The bug is fixed in the latest release.
