ImageJ Macro) and the
Java language can be used from within Bio7 for the creation of simulation models and analysis tasks.
In addition, Bio7 also contains a complete
Graphical User Interface for the statistical
R programming language and the scientific image analysis tool
ImageJ[Austenfeld M, Beyschlag W: The Use of ImageJ within an Ecological Modeling Platform, ImageJ User and Developer Conference 2010, Luxembourg, Conference Proceedings, 211-216.] with special functions to send image data from ImageJ to R or R data to ImageJ.
