Show Legend

Author: Bob Dougherty (rpd@optinav.com)

Installation: Download ( Show_Legend.class and Show_Legend$LegendWindow.class ) or Show_Legend.java into the Plugins folder.

Description: ImageJ plugin to display a legend for an image.
Use Setup to adjust the appearance of the legend. Choose "None" for the color of a feature to remove it.
When the image has changed, the legend in the plugin's window can be updated by pressing "Redraw."
As requested by Gary Chinga, a copy of the legend can be destructively inserted into the image by pressing Insert. The radio buttons determine which corner of the image gets the legend. If a selection (ROI) exists in the image window, then the legend will be positioned at the location of the ROI regardless of which radio button is depressed. (This idea was stolen from Wayne Rasband's Scale Bar plugin.)
The colors of the lines, text, and fill of the inserted legend may not match the colors shown in the plugin window if the LUT of the image does not contain those colors.
To remove a legend from the image, press unInsert. This should be done before any other changes are made, since unInsert simply replaces the current image with the image that existed just before the most recent legend insertion.
A similar function to Show Legend is now built into ImageJ: Analyze->Tools->Calibration Bar....
ImageJ can be freely downloaded from the ImageJ web site.
