GetLayerElementByIndex Method

Summary

Gets the item element of the specified graphic layer.

Syntax

C++/CLI

public DicomElement GetLayerElementByIndex( 
   int layerIndex 
)

public: 
DicomElement^ GetLayerElementByIndex(  
   int layerIndex 
)

Parameters

layerIndex
The zero-based index of the graphic layer whose item element is required.

Return Value

The item element of the specified graphic layer.

Remarks

This method gets the item element under the "Graphic Layer Sequence" (0070,0060), which corresponds, to the layer at the specified index.

Example

using Leadtools; 
using Leadtools.Dicom; 
 
 
public void DicomLayerSample() 
{ 
   //Make sure to initialize the DICOM engine, this needs to be done only once  
   //In the whole application 
   DicomEngine.Startup(); 
   using (DicomDataSet dicomDataset = new DicomDataSet()) 
   { 
      // We can also initialize in here the "Grayscale Softcopy Presentation State" class 
      dicomDataset.Initialize(DicomClassType.Undefined, DicomDataSetInitializeType.ExplicitVRLittleEndian); 
 
      //We can remove individual layers by calling RemoveLayerByIndex and RemoveLayerByName 
      dicomDataset.RemoveAllLayers(true); 
 
      DicomGraphicLayer graphicLayer = new DicomGraphicLayer(); 
 
      graphicLayer.LayerOrder = 1; 
      graphicLayer.LayerDescription = "First Layer"; 
      graphicLayer.LayerName = "LAYER0"; 
      graphicLayer.Grayscale = 0; 
      graphicLayer.RgbLayerColor[0] = 255; 
 
      dicomDataset.CreateLayer(graphicLayer);

      dicomDataset.RemoveLayerTextObjects(layer); 
      Debug.Assert(dicomDataset.GetLayerTextObjectCount(layer) == 0);
