Set Up Panorex Orientation Label

The optional panorex orientation label (i.e. "L" or "R") appears in the lower left corner of the image. This provides a way for you to note the orientation of your panorex images in VP Imaging. This label can be changed or removed from your images.

• You can also include the orthodontist name on your images. See "Orthodontist Identification Label" for more information.

Get Started

• VP Imaging must be set up and functioning properly for this feature to work. Please contact Ortho2 if you do not yet use VP Imaging and would like to get started.

• Select to "Burn" Panorex Images: You must "burn" panorex images with the VP Imaging identification label before the orientation label will work. You list the images to burn in the  section of your OurImaging.ini file (found where your VP Imaging files are located, i.e.c:/program files/ViewPoint/Images). "Burned" identification labels are permanent. See "Burns Id Onto Image " for more informationi.

• Define Panorex Labels: You define the text you want to use for your orientation labels in the [PanorexOrientation] section of your OurImaging.ini file. To include a label on both right an left panorex images, you will need to include both image numbers and their respective labels. Show me...

  1. Edit OurImaging.INI and note the numbers of your panorex image file types.
     
     
      

  2. Add the desired label text to the corresponding panorex image number(s) in the [PanorexOrientation] section.

     

  The label will appear on all panorex images in VP Imaging.
