AMI.CamerasOrthographic is not a constructor

[SarahMohamedLotfy]

I am making a project which is a website that used as a Dicom viewer. I used the AMI library with an Angular 8 project.

I tried viewers_upload example but this error occurred when I used viewers_upload.js. the error is "AMI.CamerasOrthographic is not a constructor"

I will tell you what I did 1- I made a new Angular 8 project. 2- I run yarn add ami.js 3- Put viewers_upload.html in app.component.html 4- Put viewers_upload.js code inside a function and put it in the assets folder and I added
"scripts": [ "src/assets/js/viewers_upload.js" ] in the angular.json file.

5- I called the function that contains viewers_upload.js code inside app.component.ts.

Please can you help me because I was trying in this error for 3 days? Thanks a lot

Hello, unfortunatly I am not familiar with angular - I have no clue what assets are and so on, in the angular context.

It sounds like the error is related to angular not finding AMI.

• Does a simple threejs app work in your setup?
• It seems like you are missing imports in you JS file, something like the following at the beginning of the file may help:

  import * as THREE from 'three';
  import * as AMI from 'ami.js';

Good luck,

[SarahMohamedLotfy]

I solved the error thanks a lot. But there is an error occurred while using viewers_update.js

Here is the error: "do not know how to order the frames..." Can you help me

[WaelAlBasha]

@SarahMohamedLotfy please can you tell us how you solved the previously mentioned error. Thanks Best regards
