Reading metadata from java plugin

[phm]

Hi,

I'm wondering how to read seriesName with bioformat API from a java plugin. Start some code, but I'm stuck at this level :

Code: Select all

IFormatReader reader;
for (int f = 0; f < imageFile.length;f++) {
            if (imageFile[f].endsWith(".nd")) {
                try {
                    imageName = imageFile[f].substring(0, imageFile[f].indexOf(".nd"));
                    reader.setId(imageDir+imageFile);
                    int series = reader.getSeriesCount();
                    for (int s = 0; s < series; s++) {
                        reader.setSeries(s);
                        int channels = reader.getSizeC();
                        int zStack = reader.getSizeZ();
                        int timePoint = reader.getSizeT();
                        String seriesName  =



Thanks

Hi,

Please take a look at the following test,
https://github.com/openmicroscopy/biofo ... 1315-L1336

This should help as an example code snippet for extracting the series names.

Likewise, in your case, you might want to try the following :

Code: Select all

String seriesname = reader.getMetadatastore().getImageName(s);


Hope that helps.

Best,

Hi Balaji,

I take a look at your link, however, there is not method getImageName(int) in MetadataStore() class ?

Hi,

Thanks for your interest in Bio-Formats, please find below a some more technical information, and links to some sample code which you might find useful:

IMetadata is a sub-interface of metadatastore, and this class inherits the methods from
ome.xml.meta.MetadataRetrieve,

https://downloads.openmicroscopy.org/bi ... adata.html

This case is highlighted in the test example as well,
https://github.com/openmicroscopy/biofo ... 1315-L1336

Where :
IMetadata retrieve = (IMetadata) reader.getMetadataStore();
is obtained first and then the corresponding series names are obtained using the getImageName() method.

Hope that helps.

Best,
Balaji

Hi Balaji
Thanks for information, the mistake come from the bad import class in my code. I imported loci.formats.meta.IMetadata class instead of ome.xml.meta.IMetadata
