Advanced VP Imaging Settings

To specify the maximum width of an image as it is imported, list the appropriate image number (from the [ImageName] section of the file) in the [MaxImageWidth], followed by the maximum size allowed In our example, using the [ImageName] settings shown above, Image 00 - Facial Smile is limited to a maximum width of 1280, and so on.

To auto rotate an image as it is imported, list the appropriate image number (from the [ImageName] section of the file) in the appropriate [AutoRotate] section. In our example, using the [ImageName] settings shown above, Image 10 - Maxillary Occlusal and Image 11 - Mandibular Occlusal images will auto rotate 180 degrees when they are imported. And, in our example, no images will be rotated 90 degrees on import.

To flip an image as it is imported, list the appropriate image number (from the [ImageName] section of the file) in the appropriate [AutoFlip...OnImport] section. Our example does not include any auto flip images. If we wanted to change our settings to vertically flip the Facial Smile image as it is imported, we would add "1=00" to the [AutoFlipVerticalOnImport] section of the advanced settings file.

To permanently "burn" a patient ID label onto an image, list the appropriate image number (from the [ImageName] section of the file) in the [BurnInfoIntoImage] section. In our example, using the [ImageName] settings shown above, Image 20 - Lateral Ceph, Image 21 - Frontal Ceph, and several more images will have the patient ID label added to them when they are imported.

To include an orientation label on an image, list the appropriate image number (from the [ImageName] section of the file) in the [PanorexOrientation] section, and type L or R to indicate the appropriate orientation. In our example, using the [ImageName] settings shown above, Image 22 - Panorex 1 will include the label "L, and Image 23 - Panorex 2 will include the label "R".

Enter the appropriate value to use in the [AmericanDate] section of the file. The value 1=0 results in the date format yyyy/mm/dd (i.e. 2016/08/16); the value 1=1 results in the date format mm/dd/yy (i.e.08/16/16). Our example, and the VP Imaging default, is the yyyy/mm/dd format.

To add the attending doctor's name on an image, list the appropriate image number (from the [ImageName] section of the file) in the [BurnDoctorAbbr] section. In our example, using the [ImageName] settings shown above, Image 22 - Panorex 1 and Image 23 - Panorex 2 will include the doctor label.

To add your practice name on an image, list the appropriate image number (from the [ImageName] section of the file) in the [BurnPracticeName] section. In our example, using the [ImageName] settings shown above, Image 20 - Lateral Ceph will include the practice name label.

To change the auto import order, list the image numbers (from the [ImageName] section of the file) in the order you take them with your digital camera. If you do not include an image type in the list, it will not be auto imported into patient folders. In our example, using the [ImageName] settings shown above, the first image to be imported will be Image 12 - Intraoral Right, the second image to be imported will be Image 13 - Intraoral Anterior, and so on.

To adjust the practice name font size, include the parameter MontageFontSize in the [Settings] section. In our example, the setting MontageFontSize=10 means that the practice name will appear in 10 point type on your photo montages. To eliminate the center block of the montage altogether, use the setting MontageFontSize=0.
