Hi Michael,
the list of macro commands at
https://wsr.imagej.net/developer/macro/functions.html
is essentially complete, with the exception of macro commands starting
with "run".
The "run" commands are simply the ImageJ menu commands, and the keywords
come from the dialog fields (lowercase and first word only).
If the dialog has a checkbox, the checkbox is selected (on) if its
keyword is present in the list of options.
Best use the Macro Recorder (Plugins>Macros>Record) to get it right.
This is especially true in cases where multiple commands have almost the
same name, such as "AVI..." in File>Save As>AVI... and File>Import>AVI...
(In these cases, usually an extra space at the end of the command makes
the difference, "AVI..." vs. "AVI... ")
Concerning the Table commands, the documentation page says:
These functions ... operate on the current (frontmost) table or, with
most of the functions, an optional title argument can be provided (must
be last argument).
This explains why you can write
Table.setColumn("results", arrayOne, "one");
where "one" is the title of the table.
If you find that a macro command other than one of the "run" commands is
missing in the documentation, I guess that Wayne will correct this if he
becomes aware that it was missing.
Best,
Michael

I am looking for a comprehensive documentation of all macro options. Help
would be appreciated pointing me to this.
To write macros, I have relied heavily on the documentation of macro functions
at
https://wsr.imagej.net/developer/macro/functions.html .
However, I have noticed that some important features are missing. For instance, the email below
discusses a "constrain" option in run("Size..." which I don't see documented.
Also, testing from the GUI shows that
run("Scale...", "x=0.33 y=[] width=165 height=[] interpolation=Bilinear average
create")
works fine without a "constrain" option. This is great added functionality,
but I wouldn't have thought to try either of these options on my own without this email
chain or documentation.
Similarly, I had been selecting tables for output before writing to them, but I
saw in a post here about something else, that the name of the output table may
be included in the command which makes things much more efficient. Such as:
Table.setColumn("results", arrayOne, "one");
Table.setColumn("results", arrayTwo, "two");
instead of
selectWindow("one");
Table.setColumn("results", arrayOne);
selectWindow("two");
Table.setColumn("results", arrayTwo);
However, I do not see this documented.
Is there a more comprehensive web page which has all the features of macro
commands documented?
