Scripting Support For Image Filtering in DigitalMicrograph

Question

We can access a configured image filter with these functions:

• Image IFMApplyFilter( Image& unfiltered, String filtername )
• void IFMApplyFilterInPlace( Image& unfiltered, String filtername )
• Image IFMApplyFilterToSeries( Image& unfiltered, String filtername )
• void IFMApplyFilterToSeriesInPlace( Image& unfiltered, String filtername )

Is there a way to configure an image filter directly by scripting? For example, I would like to create a filter by combining default filters such as "Hanning Window" and "Combined Filter", and changing filtering parameters "Window Strength", "Outer Radius (Nyquist)" and etc..

Thanks!

No, there are currently no script commands to create or configure a filter.

Also, you might have noticed that the configured filters are stored in the global tags, but this does not help much. The tags are read-in on start-up only, and the current list of filters is written to tags on shut-down (overriding any changes).

So all that remains is to add this as a feature request for future GMS versions.
