Clipboard_to_Results.py

# Clipboard_to_Results.py
# IJ BAR: https://github.com/tferr/Scripts#scripts
#
# Imports numeric values copied to the clipboard into the Results table. Useful, since
# BARs that analyze tabular data can only read values from the main IJ "Results" table
#
# Requirements: Requires BAR_-XX.jar to be installed in the plugins folder of IJ
#
# NB: When copying data from withing IJ (e.g., lists from histograms or plot profiles),
# Use Edit>Options>Input/Output... to specify if column headers/row numbers should be
# copied to the clipboard
