Interface MenuPlugin

All Superinterfaces:

MMGenericPlugin, MMPlugin, org.scijava.plugin.SciJavaPlugin

public interface MenuPlugin
extends MMPlugin

A MenuPlugin is a plugin that should appear under the "Plugins" menu. Note that certain types of plugins automatically appear in certain contexts, and do not need to implement this interface: - All ProcessorPlugins appear under the "On-The-Fly Image Processing" submenu of the Plugins menu (and, when selected, will bring up the Image Processing Pipeline window). - All OverlayPlugins appear in the Inspector frame's "Overlays" section. Currently, adding plugins to menus other than the Plugins menu is not supported.
