Resolution

name: resolution, type: Integer, default: 48, minimum: 8, maximum: 1024

Sets the output size (square, i.e., equal x and y size).

Default resolution

Contrast

name: contrast, type: Double, default: 98, minimum: 80, maximum: 100

Sets the upper quantile of gray values mapped to the output range of 0…255.

Thus, a value of 100 keeps the original gray value range, and lower values increase the contrast.

If enabled, the Modality and VOI LUT as stored in the DICOM tags will be applied to the image data for thumbnail generation.

Filename

name: filename, type: String, default: _thumb.png

Automatic filename

name: autoFilename, type: Bool, default: TRUE

If checked, an output file name is automatically generated from the input file name.
