L_DicomCreateGraphicObject

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_UINT16 EXT_FUNCTION L_DicomCreateGraphicObject(hDS, pGraphicAnnSQItem, pGraphicObject, bCheckLayer)

HDICOMDS hDS;	/* a DICOM handle */
pDICOMELEMENT pGraphicAnnSQItem;	/* pointer to a DICOMELEMENT structure */
pDICOMGRAPHICOBJECT pGraphicObject;	/* pointer to the graphic object attributes structure */
L_BOOL bCheckLayer;	/* flag that indicates whether to verify that the layer (to which the graphic object will be added) exists or not */

Creates a new graphic annotation object.

Parameter	Description
hDS	A DICOM handle.
pGraphicAnnSQItem	Pointer to an item element under the "Graphic Annotation Sequence" (0070,0001) in the "Graphic Annotation Module".
pGraphicObject	Pointer to the graphic object attributes structure.
bCheckLayer	Flag that indicates whether to verify that the layer (to which the graphic object will be added) exists or not. Possible values are:
	Value	Meaning
	TRUE	Check if the layer exists before adding the object. If it does not exist, then return an error.
	FALSE	Add the new object without checking the existence of the layer.

Returns

0	SUCCESS
>0	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

Before calling this function, initialize pDICOMGRAPHICOBJECT->uStructSize to be sizeof(DICOMGRAPHICOBJECT) and initialize all the structure members.

When the parameter bCheckLayer is set to TRUE, then this function checks if the layer specified in the member variable pszLayerName exists or not. If it does not exist, an error will be returned.
