dcmpsmk

NAME

dcmpsmk - Create DICOM grayscale softcopy presentation state

SYNOPSIS

 
 dcmpsmk [options] dcmfile-in dcmfile-out
 

DESCRIPTION

The dcmpsmk utility reads a DICOM image file and creates a grayscale softcopy presentation state object according to Supplement 33. The presentation state object is written back to file. A number of command line options allow to specify how certain constructs that might be present in the image file should be referenced or activated in the presentation state. The newly created presentation state references the source image and contains values that should allow for a 'reasonable' display of the image when rendered under control of the presentation state.

PARAMETERS

 
 dcmfile-in   DICOM image file to be read
 
 dcmfile-out  DICOM presentation state file to be created

COMMAND LINE

All command line tools use the following notation for parameters: square brackets enclose optional values (0-1), three trailing dots indicate that multiple values are allowed (1-n), a combination of both means 0 to n values.

Command line options are distinguished from parameters by a leading '+' or '-' sign, respectively. Usually, order and position of command line options are arbitrary (i.e. they can appear anywhere). However, if options are mutually exclusive the rightmost appearance is used. This behaviour conforms to the standard evaluation rules of common Unix shells.

In addition, one or more command files can be specified using an '@' sign as a prefix to the filename (e.g. @command.txt). Such a command argument is replaced by the content of the corresponding text file (multiple whitespaces are treated as a single separator) prior to any further evaluation. Please note that a command file cannot contain another command file. This simple but effective approach allows to summarize common combinations of options/parameters and avoids longish and confusing command lines (an example is provided in file share/data/dumppat.txt).

ENVIRONMENT

The dcmpsmk utility will attempt to load DICOM data dictionaries specified in the DCMDICTPATH environment variable. By default, i.e. if the DCMDICTPATH environment variable is not set, the file <PREFIX>/lib/dicom.dic will be loaded unless the dictionary is built into the application (default for Windows).

The default behaviour should be preferred and the DCMDICTPATH environment variable only used when alternative data dictionaries are required. The DCMDICTPATH environment variable has the same format as the Unix shell PATH variable in that a colon (':') separates entries. The data dictionary code will attempt to load each file specified in the DCMDICTPATH environment variable. It is an error if no data dictionary can be loaded.
