Part 1 - Programming Basics¶

You can install part 1 of the workshop as a macro toolset, that makes the exercises and answers available from within FIJI. Drag the link MRI Macro Workshop-part 1 (programming basics).ijm onto the ImageJ launcher and save the toolset in the folder macros/toolsets. After restarting FIJI the toolset will become available from the ">>"-button at the right of the launcher window.
