+Download [[https://github.com/miura/ParticleTrackerExt/blob/master/target/ParticleTracker_Mod-1.0.0.jar?raw=true]] and place it in the ImageJ plugin folder.
+By [Help > Refresh Menu] or by re-launching ImageJ, you will find new menu items under **[Plugins > Particle Tracker Classic >]**.

 ==== Requires ====
 ImageJ ver 1.44h or higher ([[http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/upgrade/|ImageJ, upgrade page]]).\\ \\
 ==== Description ====
 ParticleTracker plugin written by Guy Levy (Computational Biophysics Lab, ETH Zurich) added with interactive export of segmentation and tracking results to ImageJ results table. [[http://weeman.inf.ethz.ch/ParticleTracker/|Original web site is HERE]]\\ \\

+**As of Nov. 2013, there is a [[http://mosaic.mpi-cbg.de/?q=downloads/imageJ|much up-to-date version from MOSAIC group, which also integrated the extensions I made]]. I leave this page just to keep the classic version or the particle tracker.**

     * You could export only a specific trajectory. First, visualize trajectories by clicking "Visualize all trajectories". In the window overlaid with color-coded trajectories, choose one manually by clicking the trajectory of interest (Fig. 2). ROI will then appear surrounding that trajectory. Then click "Selected Trajectory to Table". Coordinates of that trajectory will be transferred to ImageJ results table (Fig. 4).
+==== Application: Directionality analysis ====
+Tracking results should be analyzed... and the best convenient way is to analyze the tracked data statistically using R.
+A tutorial that was given in EMBO cell biology course is on of such. If you are interested, follow the link below:

+==== IJ Macro and Scripting ====
+If you want to use ParticleTracker silently (not perfectly but) then you could write a javascript that does this. Then this script can be directly executed, or called from your ImageJ macro by
+<code>
+jsstr = File.openAsString("C:\\js\\particleTracker2results.js");
+eval("script", jsstr);
+</code>
+<sxh javascript>
+// javascript to be called from macro. Does the particle tracking by particle tracker plugin.
+//
+// works only with the plugin downloadable from
+//    http://cmci.embl.de/downloads/particletracker2d
+//
+// Usage: modify line 7 to 11 to set your parameter.
+// this JS could be called from ImageJ macro by:
+//   jsstr = File.openAsString("<filepath>");
+//   eval("script", jsstr);

+You could test this by directly executing the script by
