The Java Photo Editor (JPE) collaborates with the clinical chart eDolphin.

[0] The following is a snapshot of the clinical chart eDolphin, where on the left side of the image, the window shows a clinical document of a patient. The user of the eDolphin, or the medical doctor, adds descriptions and referential images on the left part of the window. In this example, six lines of black characters are shown in the picture. The block of blue text on the right part of the window denotes procedures or clinical acts.

The frontmost window in the snapshot is the SchemaBrowser, an image browser, which acquires image data from three storages: the JPE's resource file, the database, and the local directory. Three tab panels corresponds to each storage. In the following picture, the first tab is selected as "Basic Set" of images from the JPE's resource file.

[1] Images from the database are listed in the second tab panel "Shared Set". The main purpose of this functionality is to share image data among doctors.

[2] The third tab panel holds a "Personal Set" of images.

[3] When the user would like to share its own image with other doctors, he or she can upload it with addtional information: title, author, and brief comment.

[4] The uploaded data is listed in the "Shared Set" table.

[5] In the "Personal Set" panel, the image files in the specified directory are listable. The following picture shows the directory selection dialog. The example directory "imagefiles" is about to be selected. Various data formats, such as GIF, JPEG, Bitmap, TIFF, etc., are supported through the Java Advanced Imaging's data acquisition.

[6] Sample images in the specified directory are loaded in the "Personal Set" table.

[7] If the user selected "Reset" button, images in the resource file are loaded as default.

[8] When the user drags and drops an image from the SchemaBrowser to the clinical document, the Java Photo Editor is activated to edit the image using painting tools. Not only the default GUI items, but also custom control items are appended when instanciating the JPE from the eDolphin. The text field and the combo box are used to denote the purpose of the image.

[9] The editted image is inserted to the clinical document.
