Just check on my own computer and option is still there even with most up to date ImageJ. Please try downloading and installing following the instructions and also let me know if you are using a PC, Mac or linux. ruclips.net/video/WOu_P2pf26o/видео.html

having the same issue on mac

Thank you! Please let me know about any bugs you notice (they can be fixed!)

There is no option for this. However, you can just open the image again.

Thanks for letting me know. You can add an additional image to a figure either 1) by drag/drop of a file OR 2) using the popup menu that appears when you right click on an existing figure's image panels. If one method gives you that message, you should still be able to use the other method. I will investigate a more permanent fix for the issue.

@@quickfigures8341 Thanks for the reaction, the main thing that gave me trouble is when I try to add a new image using "add" in the bar above. Using the right click method works fine

​@@samhillmann9814 The menu options in the add menu of the menu bar can be used to add a new figure to the worksheet or add an independent image panel to the worksheet. None of them are designed to add a new image to an existing figure.

Thank you!

If either an image is very small or a region of interest is already draw, QuickFigures may skip the crop dialog. If you update QuickFigures now and go to "Edit<Preferences" there will be an option to 'always show crop dialog for blots'. Other users have had a similar complaint. If you want to change the crop area for an image that is already part of your figure, just select the image and click the crop icon below.

Right click on an image panel, go to the figure submenu and then to the 'add labels' submenu. There is an option to "Add band marks...". After adding the marks, you can edit the locations and labels to match your protein ladder.

I will work on fixing this issue. What file type were you using? How many channels? Do the same files work when you add them one at a time?

@@quickfigures8341 Yes I had the same file. I am using .tif file. Do I need to install any plug in to open the multiple gel images

There should be no problem accepting tiff files. In order to figure our exactly why you are having an issue, it would help if you share an example image in either the ImageJ forum or on github. I will take a look at the images as soon as I am able.

Easiest way is to open the "position" dialog for the labels. When a label is selected, there should be an icon below it containing red/blue rectangles. Click that icon. The dialog will appear. In the dialog you can click on the blue rectangle and drag it. Drag it around the area below the red rectangle. The text will change as you drag. When the text says "Upper Corner To Center", the labels should be aligned the way you asked for. You may change the offsets to tweak the positions.

Your Welcome!

That is disappointing. QuickFigures should not crash. I would like to fix the problem. However, I would need more information. Is there a particular sort of error message you see? What exact circumstances trigger a crash? Perhaps it is specific to your image files?

@@quickfigures8341 I fixed it, it just took stupidly long to save the file Second question: I can not export to Power Point because it says I need Apache POI 4.1.2. I installed this about 5 times now and it still acts like I haven't. What can I do? I spend a days work on this and I would appreciate some sort of achievement

Unless your image is very small, you should see a crop window. There is an option to Re-Crop all images that can also be used to make crop areas the same size. When you right click on an image panel, you can find the option in the popup menu "Figure<Images<Re-Crop All Images".

The cropping window is popping once i attached more than one image, Thank you so much for your help!

You can easily do that. First select multiple objects. Go to the Selected Item(s) menu. Inside that menu, you will find the options under "Selected Item(s)<Align<Shape Size<". In the Shape Size submenu, there are options to match the sizes of objects.

You can create any number of custom text items (using the text tool in the main toolbar). Those labels can be moved to any location by clicking and dragging. If you place a text item in the same layer as a layout and move it within the bounds of the layout, the label will then be moved whenever the layout is moved. However, you probably want a simple menu item to create text items that are attached to set of panels. Unfortunately the current menu items only create row, panel and column labels. I can definitely add such a menu item in the future (now on my to do list).

@@quickfigures8341 Oh, lots of thanks! I'll try as you say. I definetely think that it would be a useful tool, but at the moment I'll do as you recommend, thank you very much for your work and quick answer!

Hi Pau, Since your comment, I have added menu items for adding text to specific panels. You can use the "Add" menu to find the option. You first need to select all the panels you want to add text to. After that, the menu item you can use is "Add<To selected panels<Smart Label Sequence (A, B, C, D ...)"

Thanks. Let me know if you have any ideas for new features or have any questions.

@@quickfigures8341 actually, I had some ideas but forgot to write them, so next time I'll make some figure. Anyhow, I'd like to show your great plug-in to my students on Tuesday noon. Is there any chance I can interest you in giving a short overview with Q&A?? they're really excited about it!

@@user-xf9iw7tx1f Depending on exactly when and what time zone, I may or may not be able to give that overview. Also I intend to record a short talk for another meeting (~3 min) which will mostly overlap with the content of this video. Questions/answers may also be posted to a public forum where others can see them (either the forum.image.sc or the issues section of my github page.

@@quickfigures8341 13:00pm GMT+2 TEL AVIV TIME, Tuesday. if you can, it'd be more than awesome, if not, we'll still praise you as our figure God!

@@MOLECULARBILL I should be able to make it in time. Send the zoom link to my e-mail along with any suggestions regarding what details you would like me to talk about.

Dear Evelien It is good to know that my tool is appreciated. See answers below. 1) How can I make row labels longer? ◦ If file names are used for labels and those names are beyond a certain length, a trimmed version of the name is used to avoid inconveniently long labels. At present there is no option for a user to change the length limit, but adding that option is now on my ‘to do’ list. It will be a while before I upload an updated version of QuickFigures but I will add another comment here after it is available. 2) How can images from a lif file easily be included in a 3 colour figure? ◦ You have to open in ImageJ first. Then either create a figure or save as a tiff (for drag and drop). Direct drag and drop does not (yet) work for .lif files. Also channel labels for lif files are given as Red, Green, Grey and not DAPI, Alexa 564, Alexa488. Also, I am currently trying to obtain more .lif files in order to test QuickFigures (I only had one .lif file during initial testing which is not enough for proper testing) •3) How do you save the image in Image J? In case you want to work later on it? ◦ You are looking for the “Figure Display” option in the File<Save and File<Open menus (right above the export menu). However anything you save this way can not be opened after later updates to QuickFigures. For this reason, I always export a copy of anything I make and almost never save. Good luck with your figures

@@quickfigures8341 Dear Mazo, Thanks a lot for your reply! Best regards, Evelien

​@@evmylmylle8780 An updated version of QuickFigures is now available. The names of the menu options have changed slightly since that comment. An option to make the length limit for the labels longer is now available. I am still looking for someone to send me .lif files to use for testing.
