NAME
       dcmpsmk - Create	DICOM grayscale	softcopy presentation state

SYNOPSIS
       dcmpsmk [options] dcmfile-in dcmfile-out

DESCRIPTION
       The  dcmpsmk  utility  reads a DICOM image file and creates a grayscale
       softcopy	presentation state object  according  to  Supplement  33.  The
       presentation  state object is written back to file. A number of command
       line options allow one to specify how certain constructs	that might  be
       present	in  the	 image	file  should be	referenced or activated	in the
       presentation state. The newly created presentation state	references the
       source image and	contains values	that should allow for  a  'reasonable'
       display	of  the	 image when rendered under control of the presentation
       state.

PARAMETERS
       dcmfile-in   DICOM image	file(s)	to be read ("-"	for stdin)

       dcmfile-out  DICOM presentation state file to be	created	("-" for stdout)

NOTES
       If more than one	input file (dcmfile-in)	is specified,  the  additional
       image  files  are  only	referenced from	the created presentation state
       file, but no further (e.g. display-related) information is taken	over.

LOGGING
       The level of logging output of  the  various  command  line  tools  and
       underlying  libraries  can  be  specified by the	user. By default, only
       errors and warnings are written to the  standard	 error	stream.	 Using
       option  --verbose  also	informational messages like processing details
       are reported. Option --debug can	be used	to get	more  details  on  the
       internal	 activity,  e.g.  for debugging	purposes. Other	logging	levels
       can be selected using option --log-level. In --quiet  mode  only	 fatal
       errors  are reported. In	such very severe error events, the application
       will usually terminate. For  more  details  on  the  different  logging
       levels, see documentation of module 'oflog'.

       In  case	 the logging output should be written to file (optionally with
       logfile rotation), to syslog (Unix) or the event	log  (Windows)	option
       --log-config  can  be  used.  This  configuration  file also allows for
       directing only certain messages to a particular output stream  and  for
       filtering  certain  messages  based  on the module or application where
       they are	generated.  An	example	 configuration	file  is  provided  in
       <etcdir>/logger.cfg.

COMMAND	LINE
       All  command  line  tools  use  the  following notation for parameters:
       square brackets enclose optional	 values	 (0-1),	 three	trailing  dots
       indicate	 that multiple values are allowed (1-n), a combination of both
       means 0 to n values.

       Command line options are	distinguished from parameters by a leading '+'
       or '-' sign, respectively. Usually, order and position of command  line
       options	are  arbitrary	(i.e.  they  can appear	anywhere). However, if
       options are mutually exclusive the rightmost appearance is  used.  This
       behavior	 conforms  to  the  standard  evaluation  rules	of common Unix
       shells.

       In addition, one	or more	command	files can be specified	using  an  '@'
       sign  as	 a  prefix to the filename (e.g. @command.txt).	Such a command
       argument	is replaced by the content  of	the  corresponding  text  file
       (multiple  whitespaces  are  treated  as	a single separator unless they
       appear between two quotation marks) prior to  any  further  evaluation.
       Please  note  that  a command file cannot contain another command file.
       This simple but effective  approach  allows  one	 to  summarize	common
       combinations  of	 options/parameters  and  avoids longish and confusing
       command lines (an example is provided in	file <datadir>/dumppat.txt).

ENVIRONMENT
       The dcmpsmk utility  will  attempt  to  load  DICOM  data  dictionaries
       specified  in the DCMDICTPATH environment variable. By default, i.e. if
       the  DCMDICTPATH	 environment   variable	  is   not   set,   the	  file
       <datadir>/dicom.dic  will be loaded unless the dictionary is built into
       the application (default	for Windows).

       The  default  behavior  should  be  preferred   and   the   DCMDICTPATH
       environment  variable  only used	when alternative data dictionaries are
       required. The DCMDICTPATH environment variable has the same  format  as
       the  Unix  shell	PATH variable in that a	colon (':') separates entries.
       On Windows systems, a semicolon (';') is	used as	a separator. The  data
       dictionary  code	 will  attempt	to  load  each	file  specified	in the
       DCMDICTPATH environment variable. It is an error	if no data  dictionary
       can be loaded.
