ImageJ is an open source image processing program commonly used by researchers to extract morphometric data from fish images. As such, MorFishJ
has been developed as an extension of this software and it can be used in both ImageJ 1.x and Fiji (ImageJ2) distribution.
Therefore, the installation of ImageJ (instructions here) or Fiji (instructions here) is required before installing MorFishJ
.
MorFishJ
depends on ImageJ 1.53s
, thus, if ImageJ/Fiji was previously installed, first check the current ImageJ version below the toolbar. If it is older than 1.53s, to update ImageJ click Help –> Update ImageJ…, choose the latest version and click OK. Then ImageJ/Fiji must be restarted.
Once ImageJ/Fiji is installed/updated, proceed with installing MorFishJ
following these steps:
- Download
MorFishJ v0.2.2
from here as aZIP
file. - Extract the content.
- Copy the folder named
MorFishJ
(NOT the entire downloaded folder) in theImageJ/plugins/
orFiji.app/plugins/
directory.
Now MorFishJ
is installed. Open ImageJ/FIJI and click Plugins –> MorFishJ –> MorFishJ GUI. The Graphical User Interface (GUI) (Chapter 2) of MorFishJ
appears in the upper left corner of the screen.
In Fiji the Plugins menu is often crowded, thus it may be easier to use the Search
field under the toolbar to find and start MorFishJ
.
