Class Menus

java.lang.Object
ij.Menus
public class Menus extends Object
This class installs and updates ImageJ's menus. Note that menu labels, even in submenus, must be unique. This is because ImageJ uses a single hash table for all menu labels. If you look closely, you will see that File->Import->Text Image... and File->Save As->Text Image... do not use the same label. One of the labels has an extra space.
