Description

Creates a copy of the image for printing images

Syntax

Visual Basic
Public Function PrinterImage( _ ByVal Bits As Integer, _ ByVal Planes As Integer, _ ByVal ShowAnnotations As Boolean, _ ByVal Zoom As Single, _ ByVal Left As Integer, _ ByVal Right As Integer, _ ByVal Top As Integer, _ ByVal Bottom As Integer _ ) As DicomImage

Visual Basic

Public Function PrinterImage( _
   ByVal Bits As Integer, _
   ByVal Planes As Integer, _
   ByVal ShowAnnotations As Boolean, _
   ByVal Zoom As Single, _
   ByVal Left As Integer, _
   ByVal Right As Integer, _
   ByVal Top As Integer, _
   ByVal Bottom As Integer _
) As DicomImage

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
Left: Edges of the original image to use.
Right: Edges of the original image to use.
Top: Edges of the original image to use.
Bottom: Edges of the original image to use.

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). Left, Right, Top and Bottom refer 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.
