Using Plugins

On the main Morphanalyser window, click 'Plugins' -> 'Add a Plugin' to add a plugin. A file browser window will open, select a jar file containing one or more Batchable3D and/or Plugin3D classes. The plugin will add a new cascaded menu to the Plugins menu, the cascaded menu will contain each "Batchable3D" class as both a single and a batch item on the "Plugins" sub menu.

To remove a plugin, click 'Plugins' -> 'remove an existing Plugin'

Writing Batchable and Plugin classes

MorphAnalyser handles two plugin interfaces. The first, Batchable3D, allows single and batch processing of images. A no-args constructor (or no constructor for the no args default) needs to be provided for loading at runtime (using java reflection). The second interface, Plugin3D, is more general, and simply supports a setup and cleanup method.
