Pinnacle : ViewWindowList

Description

ViewWindowList controls the windows displayed and allows a script to interact with and change what is displayed for the user.

Interact with ViewWindows

Identify ViewWindow

InfoMessage = ViewWindowList.Current.Index; //Index of currently selected window
InfoMessage = ViewWindowList.Current.Name; //Name of currently selected window

Identify previously active window

InfoMessage = ViewWindowList.Last.Name; //Name of last window that was current
InfoMessage = ViewWindowList.Last.Index; //Index of last window that was current

Make a specific window active

ViewWindowList.#"#0".MakeCurrent = "";  //Make window at index 0 the current window
ViewWindowList.#"VW 2".MakeCurrent =""; //Make window named "VW 2" the current window

Make previous window active

ViewWindowList.MakePreviousCurrent = ""; //Make the window current at previous index (e.g. if index #"#1", will make #"#0" current)

Make next window active

ViewWindowList.MakeNextCurrent = ""; //Make the window current at the next index (e.g. if #"#1", will make #"#2" current)

Render DRR in ViewWindow

ViewWindowList.Current.Enter3dMode="";
ViewWindowList.Current.BEV=TrialList.Current.BeamList.Current.Name;
ViewWindowList.Current.ImageType = "Bone -- Fast";
ViewWindowList.Current.Render = "Render                         r" //need to count spaces

View Manipulation

Set window to CT slice number

ViewWindowList.Current.UserSliceNumber = SomeSliceNumber; //Ex 1
ViewWindowList.Current.UserSliceNumber = RoiList.Current.BinaryVolume.ZMin; //Set window view to first CT slice containing the current ROI.

Pan

The values for pan must be calculated based on image dimensions and point coordinates.

These values come from the .header file.
right = ((x_dim / 2) – ((point_x – x_start) / x_pixdim)) * x_pixdim
up = ((y_dim / 2) – ((point_y – y_start) / y_pixdim)) * y_pixdim [1]

ViewWindowList.Current.PanLeft
ViewWindowList.Current.PanRight
ViewWindowList.Current.PanUp
ViewWindowList.Current.PanDown

Set slice to current POI

ViewWindowList.Current.SetSliceToCurrentPoi = "";

Zoom

Reset Zoom Settings

ViewWindowList.Current.ZoomToWindow = "";
ViewWindowList.Current.Zoom = 2; //zoom in
ViewWindowList.Current.Zoom = 0.25; //zoom out
