DicomObjects.NET.V8
DicomObjects Namespace / DicomImage Class / PrinterImage Method / PrinterImage(Int32,Int32,Boolean,Single,Rectangle,Boolean,Int32,Int32) Method

Bit depth of final image (must be 8-16, but always 8 when Planes=3)

1 for monochrome and 3 for colour

Controls whether annotations are "burnt-in" to the new image

Zoom to apply to new image

The area of the original image to use

Controls whether Image Aspect Ratio is used - if true, then output pixels are square, but if false, then they retain their original aspect ratio

If ShowAnnotations is true, then this parameter is ignored and treated as true.

The frame number to use. This is 1-index, i.e. first frame is 1 not 0

The planar configuration value of the resulting image. For use in Printing, this should be 1 as defined by DICOM rules, but if this function is used for other purposes, then 0 may be required.

    Parameters

    Bits

    Bit depth of final image (must be 8-16, but always 8 when Planes=3)

    Planes

    1 for monochrome and 3 for colour

    ShowAnnotations

    Controls whether annotations are "burnt-in" to the new image

    Zoom

    Zoom to apply to new image

    Area

    The area of the original image to use

    SquarePixels

    Controls whether Image Aspect Ratio is used - if true, then output pixels are square, but if false, then they retain their original aspect ratio

    If ShowAnnotations is true, then this parameter is ignored and treated as true.

    Frame

    The frame number to use. This is 1-index, i.e. first frame is 1 not 0

    PlanarConfig

    The planar configuration value of the resulting image. For use in Printing, this should be 1 as defined by DICOM rules, but if this function is used for other purposes, then 0 may be required.

    Return Value

    Remarks
    The copy is fully rendered and scaled to the chosen bit depth, so no further windowing is required. Only 8 bits are allowed when Planes=3 (RGB). Area refers to the original image � the size of the final image is the product of the cropped size and the chosen zoom. If the edges are given as 0, the full image is used.
    Requirements

    Target Platforms: .NET CLR 4.0 or higher
