.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
The
\fBgdcmviewer\fR
is a simple tool that show how to use
\fIvtkGDCMImageReader\fR\&. The class that use gdcm to make a layer to VTK\&.
\fBgdcmviewer\fR
is basically only just a wrapper around VTK/GDCM\&.
.PP
This tool is meant for testing integration of GDCM in VTK\&. You should see it as a demo tool\&. It does compile with VTK ranging from 4\&.2 to 5\&.10, but only with VTK 5\&.2 (or above) can play with the widgets (as described below)\&.

.SH "SIMPLE USAGE"
.PP
For now gdcmviewer should be started from a command line prompt\&. The next argument should be the name of the DICOM file you wish to read\&. For instance:
.PP
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
$ gdcmviewer \-V 012345\&.002\&.050\&.dcm
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
gdcmviewer will try to read your file, and then print the vtk information associated with this file\&. Basically what kind of image you are looking at\&.
.PP
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
ScalarType is the DICOM Real World Value type
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
Dimensions is the dimension of the image
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3

Spacing is the spacing of the image
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c

.el \{\

.IP \(bu 2.3

NumberOfScalarComponents should be 1 for grayscale & PALETTE COLOR and 3 for RGB, YBR data\&.
