💅 stl2dcm — an OFFIS DCMTK moment

okay so bestie, you found the stl2dcm page in the OFFIS DCMTK manual set, and I need you to sit down for this one 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

stl2dcm — wraps an STL file up all cozy inside the DICOM file format 🎀 (yes, encapsulate, that's the word, slay vocabulary)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

stl2dcm [options] stlfile-in dcmfile-out

literally just: your stlfile-in goes in, your dcmfile-out comes out, and [options] are vibing in the middle 💖

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea, and it's a little sad 😭 the stl2dcm tool is deprecated. like, officially. it's giving "still in the group chat but doesn't text anymore".

use dcmencap instead, no cap — it supports the same command line parameters, and more. so like, more features, same energy. upgrade your life ✨👑

fr fr though, deprecated means deprecated. don't build your whole pipeline on this one when dcmencap is right there being iconic.
