Using FIJI or ImageJ in Python

I'm a veteran ImageJ/FIJI coder, and I'm transitioning to python.
is scikit-image an incorporation of ImageJ into python?
Can I run my ImageJ macros within scikit-image package?
What's the URL for the scikit-image function descriptions?
Thanks Ron DeSpain

Hi Ron, and welcome to the community! 😊
scikit-image contains many functions for image processing and analysis; probably not as many as Fiji, but enough for the most common things and to get you started!
To use scikit-image you have to program in Python, which is a different language from ImageJ macros. (Even ImageJ Python scripts are actually Jython, which is based on an old version of Python — there are many similarities but many differences, and the biggest one is that you cannot easily access the ImageJ and Fiji functions from Python.)
Our documentation starts here:
https://scikit-image.org/docs/stable/
The list of all available functions is here:
https://scikit-image.org/docs/stable/api/api.html
and the gallery of examples, which shows you by example how to perform many common image analysis operations, is here:
https://scikit-image.org/docs/stable/auto_examples/index.html
We also have a getting started guide here:
https://scikit-image.org/docs/stable/user_guide.html
I'll also point you to a project that you might find useful, PyImageJ, which lets you call ImageJ functionality from Python. It's a little trickier to install and use, though.
https://github.com/imagej/pyimagej
For all of this you can get help on image.sc, so feel free to keep asking usage questions there!
