RemoveLayerByIndex Method

Summary

Deletes all the elements that describe a layer.

Syntax

C++/CLI

public void RemoveLayerByIndex( 
   int layerIndex, 
   bool annSequence 
)

public: 
void RemoveLayerByIndex(  
   int layerIndex, 
   bool annSequence 
)

Parameters

layerIndex
The zero-based index of the layer to remove.

annSequence
true to remove the items, under the "Graphic Annotation Sequence", that reference the layer; false to remove only the layer.

Remarks

This method removes the item, which represents a layer under the "Graphic Layer Sequence"(0070,0060). If annSequence is set to true then the method will clean any elements under the "Graphic Annotation Sequence" which correspond to the layer being removed.

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); 
 
      Debug.Assert(dicomDataset.GetLayerIndex("LAYER0") == 0); 
 
      DicomGraphicLayer graphicLayer1 = dicomDataset.GetLayerInformation(0); 
      Debug.Assert(graphicLayer1 != null); 
      Debug.Assert(graphicLayer1.LayerOrder == 1); 
 
      graphicLayer.LayerName = "LAYER1"; 
      dicomDataset.SetLayerInformation(0, graphicLayer); 
 
      Debug.Assert(dicomDataset.LayerCount == 1); 
 
      //  We can also call GetLayerElementByName to get the layer element 
      DicomElement layer = dicomDataset.GetLayerElementByIndex(0); 
      Debug.Assert(layer != null); 
 
      dicomDataset.RemoveLayerGraphicObjects(layer); 
      Debug.Assert(dicomDataset.GetLayerGraphicObjectCount(layer) == 0); 
 
      dicomDataset.RemoveLayerTextObjects(layer); 
      Debug.Assert(dicomDataset.GetLayerTextObjectCount(layer) == 0); 
 
      dicomDataset.Save(Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.ImagesDir, "DICOM", "PresentationState.dcm"), DicomDataSetSaveFlags.None); 
   } 
   DicomEngine.Shutdown();
