Returns:

the number of overlays available for the frame, 0 if none

getOverlayAsBinaryBufferedImage

public BufferedImage getOverlayAsBinaryBufferedImage(int frame,
                                                     int overlay)

public int getRowOrigin(int frame,
                        int overlay)

Get the row orgin of the overlay.

Parameters:

frame - numbered from zero; needed to select which overlay if frame-specific

Returns:

the origin, with zero being the top row of the image (not 1 as in the DICOM OverlayOrigin attribute), or zero if there is no such overlay
