public class StringToImagePlusConverter
extends org.scijava.convert.AbstractConverter<String,ij.ImagePlus>

Converts a string to the corresponding ImagePlus object. Both image titles and ID values are supported (with IDs being preferred).

This converter exists to make ImageJ 1.x macro calls to SciJava modules work better with ImagePlus inputs—e.g.:

 run("Print Title", "imp=blobs.gif name=Jan");
 

The converter enables string fragments like imp=blobs.gif or imp=-2 to properly resolve to the associated ImagePlus.

Note that unlike most other classes in the ImageJ Legacy project, this one needs typed references to classes in the ij package, particularly ImagePlus, so that the conversion logic works as intended. It seems to work without side effects in the standard case...
