NonBlockingGenericDialog disappears when the generated image window is closed

Development

Hi
I am using NonBlockingGenericDialog in a jython script which generates a new image (imp2) based on original opened image (imp1).

If I close imp2 window NonBlockingGenericDialog disappears while the script thread seems to continue running.

Why the NonBlockingGenericDialog gets linked to a new image window and how to prevent this from happening. I want the NonBlockingGenericDialog window to remain opened even if I closed the generated image

Thank you!

Hi @bmyury,

can you share your code, or a minimal reproducible example? That would make it easier for us to reproduce the issue.

Cheers

Thank you for responding to my questions.
Yes of course
It is a simple jython script
1.It starts from an open multiframe single channel hyperstack image.
2. if one checkbox is selected in the dialogue it goes to this particular frame
3. If more then one checkbox is selected it generates a derivative multichannel image
the problem is that if that derivative image is closed the dialogue disappears

here is the code:

from ij import IJ, ImageStack, CompositeImage, ImagePlus
from ij.io import DirectoryChooser, OpenDialog
from os import walk
from ij import WindowManager
import re
import os
from ij.gui import GenericDialog, NonBlockingGenericDialog, WaitForUserDialog
from java.awt import Color


imp = IJ.getImage()
overlay=imp.getOverlay()
stack = imp.getImageStack()
imp_dimensions=imp.getDimensions()

datasetlines=stack.getSliceLabels()

filledwithTrue=[True, False]
gd = GenericDialog("channel names source")
gd.addCheckboxGroup(2, 1, ["get channels from slice labels","get channels from a file"], filledwithTrue)
gd.showDialog()
checkedIDs=gd.getCheckboxes()
IDs=[elem.getLabel() for elem in checkedIDs if elem.getState() is True]
indexes=[checkedIDs.index(elem) for elem in checkedIDs if elem.getState() is True]

if indexes[0]==1:

	od = OpenDialog("Choose channel names file", None)  
	datasetfile = od.getFileName() 
	srcDir = od.getDirectory()
	datasetpath = os.path.join(srcDir, od.getFileName())
	datasetsource = open(datasetpath, "r+")
	datasetlines=datasetsource.read().split('\n')
	datasetsource.close()
	print(len(datasetlines))


forever="yes"

while  forever=="yes" :


	filledwithTrue=[False for elem in datasetlines]
	
	gd = NonBlockingGenericDialog("channels")
	gd.addCheckboxGroup(len(datasetlines)//3+4, 4, datasetlines, filledwithTrue)
	gd.showDialog()
	checkedIDs=gd.getCheckboxes()
	IDs=[elem.getLabel() for elem in checkedIDs if elem.getState() is True]	
	indexes=[checkedIDs.index(elem) for elem in checkedIDs if elem.getState() is True]

	if len(IDs)==0:		
		break
	
	
	Nchannels_in_result=len(IDs)

	if len(IDs)==1:		
		imp.setPosition(indexes[0]+1)


	if len(IDs)>1:		
		
		Nchannels_in_ori=imp_dimensions[2]
		print(Nchannels_in_result)
		print(Nchannels_in_ori)
		
		
		frames=[]
		channels=[]
		
		combo = ImageStack(imp.width, imp.height)
			
		for i in range(0,Nchannels_in_result):
	
			frames.append(int(indexes[i]//imp_dimensions[2]+1))
			channels.append(((indexes[i]+1)-(frames[i]-1)*imp_dimensions[2])%(imp_dimensions[2]+1))
			print(str(i+1)+"	"+str(((indexes[i]+1)-(frames[i]-1)*imp_dimensions[2]))+"	"+str(frames[i])+"	"+str(channels[i]))
		
		for k in range(1, Nchannels_in_result+1):  
			extract = stack.getProcessor((frames[k-1]-1)*Nchannels_in_ori+channels[k-1])
			combo.addSlice(extract)
	
		for i in range(1,len(IDs)+1):
			combo.setSliceLabel(IDs[i-1],i)

		imp2 = ImagePlus("selected  markers combined", combo)  
		imp2.setCalibration(imp.getCalibration().copy())	   
		imp2.setDimensions(Nchannels_in_result, 1, 1)
		imp2.setOverlay(overlay)
				
		comp = CompositeImage(imp2, CompositeImage.COMPOSITE)

		comp.show()

Hi again Jan. Did you have a chance to look into that?

Hi @bmyury,
It would help if you could provide an image for use with your jython script. It does not generate a derivative image when I run it.
