 * **Note:** The boundaries for the cropping area **depend on the microscope system type** because older FIB/SEMs use a nearly quadratic image format whereas modern microscope use landscape mode by default. You may need to adjust the microscope list once in the macro for your SEM, see instructions below.

 ## Requirements and Installation
 
 * Requires the useful [EM tool](https://imagej.net/plugins/imbalence) plugin by **IMBalENce**  as FEI/TFS images are scaled with [SEM FEI metadata scale](https://imagej.net/plugins/sem-fei-metadata-scale). Install via the Fiji update site.
 
-* Download the latest [release](https://github.com/lukmuk/em-scalebartools/releases), extract the `macros` folder, and copy it to your Fiji installation folder. It will add the `QuickScaleTools.ijm` and `FEI_Crop_Scalebar.ijm` macros to the macros folder and the `ScaleBarTools.ijm` toolset to the `macros/toolset` folder.

-###### Scalebar looks:
+###### QuickScaleBar Options
+
+``Relative height``: Height of scale bar wrt image height in pixel (default: ``0.02``, 2% of image height)
+
+`Relative width`: Width of scale bar with respect to  `Scalebar size reference`option (default: `0.2`, 20% of image width), will get rounded to next smaller "nice" value, see (``vals`` array in the code).
+
+`Relative fontsize`: Font size wrt `Scalebar height` (default: `3`, point size of scale bar height).
+
+`Scalebar color`: Font size color (default: ``'Black'``).
+
+`Background color`: Background color (default: `'White'`). Use ``'None'`` to remove background.
+
+``Scalebar location``: Location/position of scale bar (default: ``'Lower Right'``).
 
-``sb_hfac``: Height of scale bar wrt image height in pixel (default: ``0.02``, 2% of image height)
+`Bold`: Bold font (default: `true`).
 
-`sb_wfac`: Width of scale bar wrt image width (default: `0.2`, 20% of image width), will get rounded to next smaller "nice" value, see (``vals`` array in the code).
+`Overlay`: Add scale bar as an overlay (default: `true`).
 
-`sb_fsfac`: Font size wrt `sb_hfac` (default: `2`, double of point size of scale bar height).
+`Serif font`: Serif font (default: `false`).
 
-`sb_col`: Font size color (default: ``'Black'``).
+`Hide`: Hide font, only plot scale bar (default: `false`). Will create a copy of the image with the scale-bar length in the title.
 
-`sb_bg`: Background color (default: `'White'`). Use ``'None'`` to remove background.
+`Scalebar size reference`: Base scale bar size on width/height/smaller/larger edge of the image (default: `'Larger'`). You can adjust this for narrow images to modify scale bar appearance. Use `Height`/`Width` if you want to have identical scale bar sizes for images of same `Height`/`Width`.
 
-``sb_loc``: Location/position of scale bar (default: ``'Lower Right'``).
+`Auto unit-switching`: Automatically adjusts units between m and Angstrom based on `Check`and `U` values. (default: `true`).
+
+`(Auto unit-switching) Check`: Check width/height/both of image for unit switching (default: `'Width'`).
 
 ``U``: Unit switching factor (default: ``3``). Example: Will switch from µm to nm if image width is below 3 µm. Will switch from nm to µm if image width is larger than 3000 nm.
 
-###### QuickScaleBar
+`Auto re-scale images`: If true/1, automatically rescale (using no interpolation/nearest interpolation) small image width or height to at least `rescale_target_px` value. (default: `0`, false). Useful to resize small cropped areas of larger images. This is the same as using `CTRL+E` and rescaling with `Interpolation: None`.
+
+`rescale_target_px`: Target minimum pixel size for `auto_rescale`. (default: `512`)
+
+`Run custom macro commands`: Run commands specified in next line (default: `false`). In the `Custom macro commands` field, multiple commands must be separated by `;`.

-###### FEI Crop Scalebar
+`Show metadata in log window`: Keep log window open or close it (default: `false`).
 
-``function process_image()``: Add image processing here, especially useful for batch conversion. (default: Auto C/B, i.e. ``run("Enhance Contrast", "saturated=0.35")``)

+
+## Changelog
+
+### v0.2
+
+* Renamed `ScaleBarTools.ijm` to `EMScaleBarTools.ijm` because there is also a plugin by [Gilles Carpentier](http://image.bio.methods.free.fr/ImageJ/?Scale-Bar-Tools-for-Microscopes.html&lang=en) with a similar name. Makes it clear that is meant for EM.
+
+* Reorganization of the code: `QuickScaleBar.ijm` was merged into `EMScaleBarTools.ijm`. `FEI_Crop_Scalebar.ijm` is still a stand-alone macro for easier use with batch processing.
+
+* Included option menus for some icon tools, which can be accessed by right-click. More convenient editing than in the source code.
+
+* Options parameters are stored internally in java variables and saved for future sessions (`ij.get` and `ij.set` calls). I took inspiration from another toolsets macro: [Roi 1-click tools](https://imagej.net/plugins/roi-1-click-tools)
+
+* Added more options for scale bar appearance (serif font, bold, hide, ...).
+
+* Added two additional tools in the menu: Move Overlays and Remove Overlays for quick manipulation of the scale bar (which is often an overlay).
