SetBitmapListValue method

Builder Syntax	int __fastcall SetBitmapListValue(int nCompression, int nPhotometric, int nBitsPerPixel, int nQFactor
Delphi Syntax	function SetBitmapListValue( nCompression, nPhotometric, nBitsPerPixel, nQFactor: Integer): Integer;
Overview	Refer to Working with Data Sets.

Remarks

This method replaces all the images in the Pixel Data Element with the images in the BitmapList property.

Most DICOM files will only have one Data Element of type TAG_PIXEL_DATA. Therefore, in most instances the CurrentElement property can be Nil (NULL), since the method will automatically replace the images of the only Pixel Data Element in the file. If the CurrentElement property is not Nil, it must contain the Pixel Data Element itself.

If the DICOM file is CLASS_BASIC_DIRECTORY, the file may contain more than one Pixel Data Element. In this case you must specify in the CurrentElement property the Pixel Data Element in which the images will be replaced.

If you wish to replace only one image within the Pixel Data Element, you must use DeleteBitmapValue method and InsertBitmapValue method.

For a table of possible Compression, Photometric, BitsPerPixel, and Quality Factor combinations, refer to Compression Table.
