Add an argument to the component.

  1. add_arg(self: holoscan.core._core.OperatorBase, arg: holoscan.core._core.ArgList) -> None

  2. add_arg(self: holoscan.core._core.OperatorBase, arg: holoscan.core._core.ResourceBase) -> None

Add a condition or resource to the Operator.

This can be used to add a condition or resource to an operator after it has already been constructed.

Parameters#

argholoscan.core.Condition or holoscan.core.Resource

The condition or resource to add.

add_dynamic_flow(*args, **kwargs)#

Overloaded function.

  1. add_dynamic_flow(self: holoscan.core._core.OperatorBase, flow: holoscan.core._core.FlowInfo) -> None

  2. add_dynamic_flow(self: holoscan.core._core.OperatorBase, flows: list[holoscan.core._core.FlowInfo]) -> None

  3. add_dynamic_flow(self: holoscan.core._core.OperatorBase, next_op: holoscan.core._core.OperatorBase, next_input_port_name: str = ‘’) -> None

Add a dynamic flow from this operator to another operator.

Parameters#

next_opholoscan.core.Operator

The downstream operator to connect to.

next_input_port_namestr, optional

The name of the input port on the downstream operator to connect to. If not specified, the first available input port will be used.

Notes#

This method has several overloads to support different ways of creating dynamic flows:

  1. add_dynamic_flow(next_op: Operator, next_input_port_name: str = ‘’) - Basic connection using default output port. This is the simplest form for connecting

    two operators when you only need to specify the destination.

  2. add_dynamic_flow(curr_output_port_name: str, next_op: Operator, next_input_port_name: str = ‘’) - Connection with explicit output port specification. Use this when the source operator has

    multiple output ports and you need to specify which one to use.

  3. add_dynamic_flow(flow: FlowInfo) - Connection using a FlowInfo object, which encapsulates all connection details including:

    • Source operator and its output port specification

    • Destination operator and its input port specification

    • Port names and associated IOSpecs

    • This is useful for complex connections or when reusing connection patterns.

  4. add_dynamic_flow(flows: List[FlowInfo]) - Batch connection using multiple FlowInfo objects. Use this to set up multiple

    connections in a single call, which is more efficient than making multiple individual connections.

The FlowInfo class provides a complete description of a flow connection between operators, including all port specifications and naming. It’s particularly useful when you need to:

  • Store and reuse connection patterns

  • Create complex routing configurations

  • Handle dynamic port specifications

  • Manage multiple connections systematically

  1. add_dynamic_flow(self: holoscan.core._core.OperatorBase, curr_output_port_name: str, next_op: holoscan.core._core.OperatorBase, next_input_port_name: str = ‘’) -> None

property args#

The list of arguments associated with the component.

Returns#

arglist : holoscan.core.ArgList

property async_condition#

The internal asynchronous condition for the operator.

This property provides access to the internal asynchronous condition for the operator, which controls the scheduling of the operator’s compute method.

Returns#

conditionholoscan.conditions.AsynchronousCondition

An instance of holoscan.conditions.AsynchronousCondition that is the internal asynchronous condition for the operator.

Notes#

This object is only accessible after the executor has called Operator.initialize() via run() or run_async(). If accessed during Application.compose(), it will return None.

compute(op_input, op_output, context)[source]#

Performs computation for this operator and handles I/O.

For now, only a single result content is supported, which could be in bytes or a path to the PDF file. The DICOM series used during inference is optional, but is required if the copy_tags is true indicating the generated DICOM object needs to copy study level metadata.

When there are multiple selected series in the input, the first series’ containing study will be used for retrieving DICOM Study module attributes, e.g. StudyInstanceUID.

Raises:
  • FileNotFoundError – When bytes are not in the input, and the file is not given or found.

  • ValueError – Input bytes and PDF file not in the input, or no DICOM series when required.

  • IOError – If fails to get the bytes of the PDF

enable_metadata(self: holoscan.core._core.OperatorBase, enable: bool) None#

  • MetadataPolicy.UPDATE: Replace existing value with the new one if the key already exists

  • MetadataPolicy.INPLACE_UPDATE: Update the value stored within an existing MetadataObject in-place if the key already exists (in contrast to UPDATE which always replaces the existing MetadataObject with a new one).

  • MetadataPolicy.RAISE: Raise an exception if the key already exists

property next_flows#

Get the list of flow information for connections to downstream operators.

Returns#

list[holoscan.core.FlowInfo]

  • QueuePolicy.REJECT : If the queue is full, reject (discard) the new item.

  • QueuePolicy.FAULT : If the queue is full, log a warning and reject the new item.

Returns#

receiver(self: holoscan.core._core.OperatorBase, port_name: str) Optional[holoscan::Receiver]#

Get the receiver used by an input port.

Parameters#

port_namestr

The name of the input port.

Returns#

receiverholoscan.resources.Receiver

resource(self: holoscan.core._core.OperatorBase, name: str) object | None#

Resources associated with the operator.

Parameters#

namestr

The name of the resource to retrieve

Returns#

holoscan.core.Resource or None

The resource with the given name. If no resource with the given name is found, None is returned.

property resources#

Resources associated with the operator.

service(self: object, service_type: type, id: str = '') object#

Retrieve a registered fragment service through the component’s fragment.

This method delegates to the fragment’s service() method to retrieve a previously registered fragment service by its type and optional identifier. Returns None if no fragment service is found with the specified type and identifier.

Parameters#

service_typetype

The type of the fragment service to retrieve. Must be a type that inherits from Resource or FragmentService.

idstr, optional

The identifier of the fragment service. If empty, retrieves by service type only. For Resources, this would typically be the resource’s name.

Returns#

object or None

The fragment service instance of the requested type, or None if not found. If the service wraps a Resource and a Resource type is requested, the unwrapped Resource instance is returned.

Raises#

RuntimeError

If the component has no associated fragment or if the fragment’s service method cannot be accessed.

Notes#

This is a convenience method that internally calls the fragment’s service() method. For services that wrap Resources, the method will automatically unwrap and return the Resource if a Resource type is requested.

setup(spec)[source]#

Set up the named input(s), and output(s) if applicable.

This operator does not have an output for the next operator, rather file output only.

Parameters:

spec (OperatorSpec) – The Operator specification for inputs and outputs etc.

property spec#

The operator spec (holoscan.core.OperatorSpec) associated with the operator.

start()#

Default implementation of start

stop()#

Default implementation of stop

stop_execution(self: holoscan.core._core.OperatorBase) None#

Stop the execution of the operator.

This method is used to stop the execution of the operator by setting the internal async condition to EVENT_NEVER state, which sets the scheduling condition to NEVER. Once stopped, the operator will not be scheduled for execution (the compute() method will not be called).

Note that executing this method does not trigger the operator’s stop() method. The stop() method is called only when the scheduler deactivates all operators together.

transmitter(self: holoscan.core._core.OperatorBase, port_name: str) Optional[holoscan::Transmitter]#

Get the transmitter used by an output port.

Parameters#

port_namestr

The name of the output port.

Returns#

transmitterholoscan.resources.Transmitter or None

The transmitter used by this output port. Will be None if the port does not exist.

write(content_bytes, dicom_series, output_dir)[source]#

Writes DICOM object

Parameters:
  • content_bytes (bytes) – Content bytes of PDF

  • dicom_series (DicomSeries) – DicomSeries object encapsulating the original series.

  • output_dir (Path) – Folder path for saving the generated file.
