How to use dcmpsmk

[Xiao]

Anyone can tell me how to use dcmpsmk to create ps file with
ShutterEllipse
ShutterRectangle
ShutterFreehand
Rectangle
Ellipse
Arrow
Line
Angle
Text
Polygon

I will be very appreciated, if someone can give me a sample, thanks!

[J. Riesmeier]

The short answer is: Only shutters can be activated if present in the DICOM image, since the other constructs are never present in a DICOM image object.

Thank you for your update.
Now I have write a new dcmpsmk, which can be used to create ps file.
usage:
$dcmpsmk dicomfile pstemplatefile
pstemplatefile format:

Another question, can you tell how to save a arrow in PS file, thanks.

[J. Riesmeier]

how to save a arrow in PS file

I guess you mean an anchor point that is associated with a textual annotation, right?

Regarding your "new dcmpsmk": Since your template file looks pretty much like a 1:1 mapping of the DICOM Presentation State object, why don't you use XML and an appropriate stylesheet (XSLT) in order to create the input for xml2dcm?

[Xiao]

thank you for replay.
Graphic Type:
The shape of graphic that is to be drawn.
See C.10.5.1.2.
Enumerated Values:
POINT
POLYLINE
INTERPOLATED
CIRCLE
ELLIPSE
in despite of there is no ARROW, I still want to save the arrow drawn on image in PS file, what should I do?

good idea, maybe later I will change it to XML.

[J. Riesmeier]

An ARROW has been added as a Compound Graphic Type in March 2010 with Supplement 120. This Supplement has also been incorporated into the 2011 edition of the DICOM standard.

Thank you very much.
