In this post I want to show how to enable to DIPimage GUI to work with a new data type. In a previous post we developed a new class, dip_snake, for use with the function snakeminimize. The fully developed version of snakeminimize, which you can download here, integrates with the DIPimage GUI and uses DIPimage’s built-in automatic parameter parsing. We actually need to do something to DIPimage to get all that to work, because the dip_snake class is unknown to DIPimage. This post explains how to teach DIPimage about a new parameter type.
Note: This post is meant as a tutorial for people developing DIPimage applications, and contains nothing of interest to anybody else. If you’re not developing for DIPimage, you might want to look here instead.

In the previous post I showed how to implement active contours (a snake). I included the link to a set of files with a complete snake implementation to plug into DIPimage. This implementations uses a class called dip_snake. In this post I wanted to show how this class is defined using MATLAB’s new 1-file-style of class definitions. Well, “new” is not completely accurate, this feature has been around for a few releases already, but I’m slow to adapt… You’ll also learn how to make a class whose objects automatically create or update a figure window, much like an object of type dip_image does.
