2 * Added python wrappers of vtkGdcmReader vtk class (see the
3 source in vtk/vtkGdcmReader.cxx) :
4 - vtk/Makefile.am now builds a library
5 - gdcmPython/Makefile.am now builds vtkgdcmPython a second import
6 python library (as opposed to _gdcm.so wich are the python
7 wrappers of gdcm). vtkgdcmPython.so uses the vtk python wrappers
8 (vtkWrapPython and vtkWrapPythonInit utility) to build vtkgdcmPython
10 - configure.in has an additional flag --enable-vtk that needs
11 to be set to enable compilation of vtk related code, that is:
12 + vtk/vtkGdcmReader.so and
13 + vtk/testvtkGdcmReader C++ demo of vtk wrappers of gdcm)
14 + gdcmPython/vtkgdcmPython.so (see above)
15 - gdcmPython/demo/vtkGdcmDemo.py corrected (some images cannot
16 be read when compressed or when HighBit + 1 != BitsStored),
17 - gdcmPython/demo/vtkGdcmReader.py added. This demo illustrates
18 the usage of the python wrapper of vtkGdcmReader vtk class.
19 * vtk/vtkGdcmReader.cxx: bug fixed (thanks to Benoit Regrain).
21 2003-05-12 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
22 * src/gdcmHeader>[h/cxx] added gdcmHeader::GetPixelSize()
23 * vtk/vtkGdcmReader.cxx now properly inports the image in the
24 vtk data structure (an image Flip was required).
25 * vtk/testvtkGdcmReader.cxx refers to gdcmData subdir instead of Data.
26 * cosmetic changes in documentation.
28 2003-05-7 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
29 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx: the constructor no longer exits when an
30 unexisting file is given as argument.
31 * The subdirectory Data (containing all the images used for the
32 test suite) is not part of this repository anymore. A new module
33 containing those images is now available at
34 :pserver:xxx@cvs.creatis.insa-lyon.fr:2402/cvs/public
35 with the name gdcmData.
36 All the python scripts (including the package initialisation file
37 gdcmPython/__init__.py) were adapated to take this change into
38 account (basically GDCM_DATA_PATH is now GDCM_TEST_DATA_PATH).
40 2003-05-5 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
41 * vtk subdir added. Contains vtkGdcmReader.[cxx|h] a vtk class
42 inherinting from vtkImageReader and testvtkGdcmReader.cxx a small
43 demo of the usage of this class.
44 Compilation of this vtk part is only done when using the --enable-vtk
45 at configure (or autogen.sh) stage.
47 2003-04-16 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
48 * More memmory link related corrections and documentation fixes.
50 - maximum info is obtained with a command of the form:
51 valgrind --leak-check=yes --leak-resolution=high --num-callers=40
52 --show-reachable=yes PrintHeader
53 - the remaining reachable blocks seem to come from the STL
54 allocation scheme through the usage of map and list. It looks
55 like this memory cannot be freed but it is not a memory leak
56 (in fact further invocation to the STL would recollect the
57 unused memory allthough it cannot explicitely be freed).
58 * gdcmPython/demo/vtkGdcmDemo.py added: this is a small demo
59 of displaying an image parsed with gdcm and displayed with VTK.
60 Note: some images don't seem to work e.g.
61 python vtkGdcmDemo.py ../../Data/US-RGB-8-esopecho.dcm
62 * src/gdcmHeader.x: dicom_vr and Dicts are not class members anymore.
63 Allthough this weakens the semantics, it is a ditch attempt to
64 make gdcm more thread friendly.
66 2003-04-15 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
67 * Memory link hunt (by using valgrind through the command
68 valgrind --show-reachable=yes --leak-check=yes PrintHeader).
69 - added src/gdcmVR.cxx gdcmVR.h that objectify the previous
70 gdcmHeader::_dicom_vr.
71 - gdcmHeader::InitVRDict transfered as gdcmVR::gdcmVR().
72 - gdcmHeader::dicom_vr is now of type gdcmVR* as opposed to
74 - gdcmGlobal global object contained class added (see src/gdcmUtil.x)
76 2003-04-9 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
77 * src/Makefile.am now exports all the necessary include files at
81 * UpdateGroupLength replaced by new one
84 * UpdateGroupLength re-written using H-Table
85 (named UpdateGroupLengthNew untill checks are over)
87 2003-04-7 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
88 * Data/im_00001 renamed to gdcm-MR-PHILIPS-16-Multi-Seq.dcm
89 * gdcmPython/testSuite.py now include a test of gdcmFile::Write.
91 - gdcmHeader::GetPubElValSet removed.
92 - gdcmElValSet::WriteDcm, WriteAcr, WriteExplVR, revamped to
93 UpdateGroupLength, WriteElements, Write.
94 - gdcmHeader::FileType moved to gdcmCommon.h. The enum FileType
95 doesn't contain TrueDicom anymore since ExplicitVR and ImplicitVR
96 carried the same semantics.
97 - src/gdcmHeaderIdo.cxx changed accordingly.
98 - gdcmFile::WriteBase now regroups all the codes from previous
99 versions of WriteDcm, WriteDcmImplVR, and WriteACR.
100 - enum FileType moved to gdcmCommon.h
101 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx AddDefault trashed
103 * getimageDataSize now calls gdcmGetXSize
104 * Test/*.cxx changed to agree with above changes
106 2003-03-31 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
107 * src/gdcmHeader.h: LoadElements() is not a public method anymore
108 (to avoid double call by end user).
109 * Test/*.cxx LoadElements() doesn't need to be called explicitely
110 by end user, since gdcmHeader::gdcmHeader now handles it.
112 2003-03-29 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
113 * gdcm/Doc many doxygen changes:
114 - Doxyfile now has two different versions, DoxyfileUsers that generates
115 the html.users end users oriented documentation and
116 DoxyfileDeveloppers that generates the html.developper developper
117 oriented documentation.
118 - README changed accordingly
119 - requirement.txt removed (old design info moved to TODO).
120 - Additional files DoxyInstallation.txt, DoxyIntroduction.txt,
121 DoxyMainPage.txt, DoxyPython.txt provide more information.
122 - Note: the website http://www.creatis.insa-lyon.fr/Public/Gdcm/ can now
123 be updated by simply regenerating the docs with doxygen and copying
124 html.developper and html.users to tux:/home/httpd/html/Public/Gdcm
125 * src/gdcmElValSet.cxx: stl <map>.count() can only return 0 or 1. Hence
126 all the tests in the form "if (<map>.count() >1)" were removed.
127 * src/gdcmFile.cxx: cosmetic changes to avoid messages of doxygen about
128 ill-formed documentation sections.
129 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx: ditto
131 2003-03-27 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
132 * setup.py fixed for un*x (needed macro for stdint.h)
133 * Test/test.cxx renamed to PrintHeader.cxx to avoid collision on
134 un*ces with sh-utils test utility.
135 * gdcmPython/demo/test.py renamed to PrintHeader.py
136 * gdcmPython/demo/ReorganiseFiles.py new demo script added.
137 * gdcmPython/win32/gdcmpycomplet.dsp renamed to gdcmpyembedded.dsp.
138 * gdcmPython/win32/gdcmpy.dsp trashed away (brain damaged).
139 * src/gdcm*.cxx JPR's bad inclusion fixed.
141 2003-03-26 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
142 * src/gdcmHeader[h, cxx] gdcmHeader now has an IsReadable predicate.
143 * gdcmPython/demo/test.py changed accordingly.
145 2003-03-25 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
146 * gdcmPython/Makefile.am fixed linking against libstdc++
147 * gdcmPython/_gdcm.so symbolic link to gdcmPython/.libs/pygdcm.so added.
148 * Swig subdir (historical tests of swig version 1.3.17++) removed
149 * Test/testChangeEntete.cxx some lines commented out in order to make
151 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx cleaned up wild JPR's dirty kludge.
152 * src/gdcmElValSet.cxx cleaned up frog's forgotten debug message
154 2003-03-24 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
155 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx gdcmHeader::gdcmHeader now calls LoadElements(),
156 hence the user doesn't need this explicit call.
157 - gdcmPython/testSuite.py, gdcmPython/demo/*.py changed accordingly
158 i.e. LoadElements() call removed.
159 * src/gdcmCommon.h now defines UINT32_MAX (see stdint.h).
160 - src/Makefile.am declares the proper flag for g++.
161 * src/gdcmElValSet.h added gdcmElValSet::GenerateFreeTagKeyInGroup
162 for adding user defined new tags.
163 - src/gdcmHeader.cxx gdcmHeader::NewManualElValToPubDict added.
164 - src/gdcmHeader.cxx gdcmHeader::AddAndDefaultElements now
165 cleanly adds some gdcm added tags (like gdcmXSize, gdcmYSize...)
167 2003-03-17 Fabrice Bellet <Fabrice.Bellet@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
168 * Makefile.am, acinclude.m4, configure.in, python.m4, Dicts/Makefile.am,
169 Doc/Makefile.am, Test/Makefile.am, gdcmPython/Makefile.am,
170 src/Makefile.am : the project should properly compile and install
171 with the autotools, included the python wrappers part.
172 * gdcm.spec.in : added a spec file for RPM packaging.
174 2003-03-14 Benoit Regrain <Benoit.Regrain@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
175 * src/gdcmUtils.cxx : redifinition of defaults parameters in code
177 2003-03-12 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
178 * gdcmPython/__init__.py fix of GDCM_DICT_PATH which was not
179 to exported to the environement (see gdcmPython/testSuite.py
181 * src/gdcmElValSet.[cxx/h], gdcmElValue.[cxx/h], gdcmFile.[cxx/h],
182 gdcmHeader.[cxx/h]: ElValSet class renamed to gdcmElValSet, and
183 ElValue class renamed to gdcmElValue for obvious consistency reasons.
184 * src/gdcmElValSet.cxx, src/gdcmUtil.[cxx-h] Tokenize utility function
185 moved away from gdcmElValSet.cxx to gdcmUtil.cxx.
187 2003-03-10 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
188 * gdcmPython/__init__.py doesn't crash anymore when running in
189 in InstallMode or PreInstallMode but with an environement given
190 value of GDCM_DICT_PATH.
191 * src/gdcmDictSet.[cxx/h] coding style.
193 2003-03-06 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
194 * src/gdcmHeader.h and gdcmHeader.cxx Coding style + doxigenation.
195 * src/gdcm.h general comments moved to TODO, and README
196 * src/gdcm.h should now be seen as a user commodity (including it
197 should suffice to fully use gdcm). It is nowhere including within
198 any of the kernel files src/*.cxx and src/*.h.
200 2003-03-05 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
201 * src/gdcm.h splitted in gdcmCommon.h, gdcmDict.h, gdcmDictEntry.h,
202 gdcmDictSet.h, gdcmElValSet.h, gdcmElValue.h, gdcmFile.h,
204 * src/gdcm*.cxx only include their corresponding include file
205 (as opposed to gdcm.h)
206 * gdcmPython/gdcm.i changed accordingly
207 * Test/Makefile.am corrected and added NEWS, AUTHORS in order for
208 the autogen.sh generated "make snapshot" command to work.
209 * autogen.sh removed history related references to crea package.
211 2003-03-04 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
212 * distutilsSwigCPlusPlus.py work around some swig portability
215 2003-03-03 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
216 * Eventually, python/gdcmPython was renamed to gdcmPython. This
217 was done in a last ditch attempt to get setup.py _really_
218 operationnal. The python/gdcmPython layaout add the advantage
219 of hidding away the python related distutils specific files
220 (MANIFEST.in, setup.py, distutils*.py...) from the main directory.
221 Alas, the src directory was out of scope (i.e. it's relative
222 position to setup.py was ../src) which made things impossible to
223 handle (see previous version of python/setup.py). Crossing fingers...
225 2003-02-20 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
226 * python/setup.py now works on Un*x. (harder than I thougth)
227 * python/distutilsSwigCPlusPlus.py can now have include files
228 among the list of sources.
230 2003-02-20 Benoit Regrain <Benoit.Regrain@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
231 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx : bug fix - opening dicom file in binary !!!
232 * modifications in MSVC projects
234 2003-02-19 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
235 * As stated by the first lines of Test/ExceptionAndPython/README, it
236 looks like we can move back to original usage of exception within
237 src/gdcm* and hence remove the errno stuff that was introduced
238 as a quick and dirty fixture of this problem (added to the TODO).
239 * Doc/Doxyfile configuration file for Doxygen and corresponding
240 README file for usage added.
241 * Test/testWrite.cxx added. This new test comes from a split of
242 test.cxx that is now reverted to its original purpous i.e.
243 testing the proper parsing of a Dicom related file.
244 testWrite.cxx concentrates on testing the IO part of gdcm.
245 * Test/bug1.cxx (containing a bug on WIn32) added.
246 * src/gdcm.h, gdcmHeader.cxx, gdcmDictSet.cxx:
247 - gdcmHeader::GetPubTagNames and gdcmHeader::GetPubTagNamesByCategory
248 whose purpose is to publish the content of the TagNames of the
249 Dicom public dictionnary were not accessible without an
250 instance of class gdcmHeader.
251 - those methods are now static methods of gdcmDictSet and hence
252 require no instances at all to be invocated.
253 - within gdcmDictSet this change required to change some method
254 to class methods (i.e. are now static) among which SetDictPath
255 (renamed to BuildDictPath) and LoadDefaultPubDict.
256 * python/gdcmPython/demo/printGroupedPublicDict.py changed to illustrate
257 the above changes by calling the new method classes of gdcmDictSet.
258 * python/gdcmPython/__init__.py now exposes gdcm.gdcmDictSet for
259 the above to be effective.
260 * python/gdcmPython: in order to wrap properly the above changes
261 for Python, swig version now needs to be > 1.3.17.
262 * python/gdcmPython/Makefile fixed to adapt itself to new
263 configure/make shema introduced by Johan Montagnat (thanks for the
264 contribution). Alas this Makefile cannot be turned into a proper
265 Makefile.am without some heavy changes in the configure.in
266 (for python dectection).
267 * python/gdcmPython/gdcm.i: the out typemap map<string, list<string>>*
268 now avoids publishing the empty entries.
270 2003-02-13 Benoit Regrain <Benoit.Regrain@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
271 * python/setup.py : bug fix concerning install under windows
273 * gdcm.dsw : bug fix concerning path for libraries for python !!!
275 2003-02-13 Benoit Regrain <Benoit.Regrain@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
276 * Dicts/dicomV3.dic : remove double spaces !!!
277 * src/gdcmElValSet.cxx : bug fix concerning windows compiler
278 * python/gdcmPython/win32/gdcmpycomplet.dsp : bug fix concerning paths
281 2003-01-28 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
282 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx added a post header parsing AddAndDefaultElements
283 method. Doxygenation.
284 * src/gdcm.h clean up of JPR spurious comments.
286 2003-01-17 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
287 * python/distutilsSwigCPlusPlus.py now properly collects the
288 shadow classes generated by "swig -c++" (gdcm.py in our case)
289 when using "python setup.py install".
290 * python/gdcmPython/__init__.py imports gdcm.py and only manually
291 reexports the working classes.
292 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx all the try/catch/throw calls were replaced
293 by the classical C errno scheme. This is to prevent an obscure
294 behavior of the python wrappers when importing wxPython.wx prior
295 to gdcmPython (which ended up in an abort call). An illustration
296 of this oddity can be found in the Test/ExceptionAndPython
297 subdir (see the README file). This problem probably due to
298 an combination of g++ and dynamic loading.
299 * added Test/ExceptionAndPython (see above)
301 2003-01-17 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
302 * Changed the layout of the python part to avoid bloating main
303 directory with setup.py, distutilsSwigCPlusPlus.py, MANIFEST.in
304 i.e. the distutils arsenal. All the python related stuff is
305 again in a python subdir, but the package itself is now in
307 * setup.py was cleaned up:
308 - pythonIncludePath removed
309 - python setup.py bdist target is now functional.
310 * gdcmPython/__init__.py doesn't export FileName any more (to avoid
311 collision with other packages). gdcmPython/demo/*.py changed
313 2003-01-15 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
314 * python subdir moved to gdcmPython (preparation of distutils packaging).
315 * gdcmPython/setup.py and distutilsSwigCPlusPlus.py added. The
316 distutils installer is operational.
317 * - gdcmPython/__init__.py now properly loads the swig generated
318 shadow classes (from gdcm.py).
319 - gdcmPython/demo/*.py changed to import the package gdcmPython
320 instead of gdcmPython/demo/load.py.
321 - gdcmPython/testSuite.py changed to import the package gdcmPython.
324 2002-12-16 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
325 * src/gdcm.h, src/gdcmHeader.cxx: added GetPubTagNames() resp.
326 GetPubTagNamesByCategory() to gdcmHeader that return a list of the
327 entries within the associated public Dicom dictionary resp. the same
328 information but sorted by the fourth field (PAT, IMG, DIR) of the
330 - Dicts/dicomV3.dic Entries which had and unspecified fourth field
331 are now in the "???" group.
332 - python/gdcm.i changed accordingly,
333 - python/demo/printGroupedPublicDict.py added, that gives an example
334 of the above new functionalities in Python.
336 2002-12-11 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
337 * src/gdcm.h, gdcmHeader.cxx:
338 - historic references to glib's g_malloc and g_free (#defined)
339 were definitively removed.
340 - gdcm.h: cosmetic changes (part of comments moved to Doc/requirements)
341 * src/gdcmElValSet.cxx:
342 - GetElement(guint32, guint32) renamed to GetElementByNumber.
343 - GetElValue(guint32, guint32) renamed to GetElValueByNumber.
344 - GetElValue(string) renamed to GetElValueByName.
345 - Added GetElementByName(string).
346 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx: added
347 - GetPubElValRepByNumber(guint16, guint16)
348 - GetPubElValRepByName(string)
349 - GetShaElValRepByNumber(guint16, guint16)
350 - GetShaElValRepByName(string)
351 - GetShaElValByNumber(guint16, guint16)
352 - GetShaElValRepByName(string)
353 - GetElValRepByNumber(guint16, guint16)
354 - GetElValRepByName(string)
355 - GetElValByNumber(guint16, guint16)
356 - GetElValRepByName(string)
357 * Doc/requirements.txt added.
359 2002-12-9 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
360 * Test/Makefile building now depends on the one of libgdcm.so
361 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx and gdcm.h are now OB (undefined length encoded
362 pixel data) aware which enables finding the address (offset) of
363 the pixel data of JPEG encoded DICOM files. This leaves only a single
364 file in the testSuite whose pixel data address (offset) is unknown.
365 * python/testSuite.py changed accordingly.
367 2002-12-6 Christophe Odet + Hugues Benoit-Cattin + Eric.Boix
368 * VC++ has some strong limitations when working with the STL, as stated
369 in http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q168/9/58.ASP :
370 "Also note that some STL containers (map, set, queue, list, deque)
371 cannot be exported. [...]
372 Some STL classes contain nested classes. These classes can not
374 This is caused by a designed limitation that once a template
375 class is instantiated, it can not be re-instantiated and
377 Since our usage of map<> is ubiquitous in gdcm, this "designed
378 limitation" of VC++ is a pitfall.
379 Hence the Python wrappers of gdcm cannot be incrementally linked
380 against the c++ dynamic library. The dirty but only workaround is
381 to forget about incremental link of dynamic libraries and to generate
382 the Python wrappers library with the inclusions of the underlying C++
384 The following modifications concern this matter on Win32/VC++:
385 - wrapping python correct with standalone wrapped dll (don't use separate
386 dll under windows !!!!)
387 - python21_d debug mode enabled (ask Frog how to use it :-)
388 - NO problem with having an STL member of class for example string in C++
389 WITH THE RESTRICTION OF FORGETING ABOUT INCREMENTAL LINK.
390 - Python test of dcmlib in Python is ok under windows on a large set
392 * removed glib references
393 * typedef's inserted in gdcm.i for correct swig type management
395 2002-11-27 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
396 * python/demo/*.py load.py extracted from test.py. Added explore.py
397 that only displays required tags and testAll.py that parses all
398 the files of the testsuite without using unittest.
399 * python/testSuite.py other additional test on new files added.
400 * Data/* new test files added accordingly to the testSuite.
401 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx avoid overwriting of the dictionary when
402 the vr in the file differs from the one of the dictionary.
404 2002-11-20 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
405 * src/gdcm.h and gdcmHeader.cxx gdcm no longer loads all the elements
406 values, but limits itself to values which are below a user specified
407 size (by default 1024 bytes).
408 * python/gdcm.i : elements not loaded (because their size is above the
409 user specified treshold) are exported with their TagKey as key of the
410 python dictionary. This enables the testsuite to make some checks
411 on the unloaded elements (since we have their offset and size).
412 * python/testSuite.py
413 - now tests for the existence and proper value of the pixel data
414 - two new examples added.
415 * Data/gdcm-MR-SIEMENS-16.acr[12] added.
417 2002-11-18 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
418 * src/gdcm.h and gdcmHeader.cxx are now "Big Endian transfer syntax"
419 aware. See the strategy comments in gdcmHeader::FindeLength().
420 * Test/test.cxx now accepts a filename as first argument.
421 * Data/US-PAL-8-10x-echo.dcm and US-RGB-8-epicard.dcm added.
422 * python/testSuite.py changed to integrate test on above files.
424 2002-11-15 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
425 * Dicts/dicomV3.dic removed all the trailing (RET) when the
427 * python/testSuite.py more tests added.
429 2002-11-14 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
430 * python/testSuite.py unittest test suite added (uses Data)
431 * Data/* dcm and acr files for the test suite.
432 * glib dependance removed from un*x version. We now use ISO C99
433 7.18 Integer types (see stdint.h)
434 - python/Makefile, src/Makefile src/gdcm.h
435 * src/ when an explicit vr (like dicom files) suddenly poped an
436 implicit element we use to mark the underlying DictEntry of the
437 concerned ElValue with "Implicit". This strategy was damageable
438 too the public or provite dictionaries, since some of their vr
439 would be changed. Since Header::FindLength heavily relies on the
440 detection by Header::FindVR of falsely explicit elements, I
441 added an extra ImplicitVr member to ElValue (boolean).
442 The rest of the changes we the necessary adaptations.
444 2002-11-12 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
445 * src/gdcmHeader::FindLength bug fix when trapping falsely explicit
447 * src/gdcmHeader::FindVR: hard way fix of falsely explicit vr files.
449 2002-11-8 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
450 * Adaptation for porting to VC++:
452 o forced to use std namespace (for string to be known)
453 o all class use __declspec export style on WIN32
454 - src/gdcmUtil.cxx new Exit method that wraps the exit call
455 (in stdlib.h on Win32 but in std:: for gcc)
456 * src/gdcmDictSet::SetDictPath adds a trailing / to environement
457 variable GDCM_DICT_PATH.
458 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx verbose comments made discrete.
460 2002-11-7 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
461 * python/gdcm.i: added a typemap that converts a C++ hashing table
462 to native Python dictionary.
463 * python/demo/test.py:
464 - now uses the native dictionary for exploration of gdcmHeader.
465 - takes an optional filename argument (the file to parse).
466 * src/gdcm.h and gdcmHeader.cxx: gdcmHeader now has an accessor on
467 PubElVals hashing table.
468 * Dicts/dicomV3.dic removed error prone trailing spaces.
470 2002-11-6 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
471 * Python wrapping process moved away from src/Makefile to
472 newly created python/Makefile (as well as gdcm.i)
473 * python/demo/test.py (that mirrors Test/test.cxx) is effective.
474 * src/gdcmHeader::FindLength only looks for current vr when necessary.
475 * src/gdcmDictSet.cxx: the dictionnaries directory path is now imported
476 from the environement variable GDCM_DICT_PATH (when existing).
477 * src/gdcmDict::GetTag bug fix.
479 2002-10-31 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
480 * Straightforward temporary fixes for swig to build the python wrappers.
481 src/Makefile now has a python working entry [by working we mean
482 that we can import de shadow classes without errors].
484 2002-10-29 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
485 * hashtest.cxx removed (since allready in Test)
486 * src/gdcmlib.h renamed to src/gdcm.h
487 * src/dcm.i renamed to src/gdcm.i
488 * src/Makefile prepared for python wrapping
490 2002-10-29 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
491 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx :
492 - Parsing of header is now separated from loading of element values
493 (see gdcmHeader::LoadElements).
494 - general clean up of hopefully all file access (creation of
495 ReadInt16 and ReadInt32)
497 2002-10-22 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
498 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx :
499 - RecupLgr renamed to FindLength and cut off with new IsAnInteger
501 - SetLgrElem renamed to SetLength
502 - GetLgrElem renamed to GetLength
503 - ~gdcmHeader() made virtual to pesky warning messages at compile.
504 * src/gdcmElValSet.cxx fixed both GetElValue methods
505 * Dicts/dicomV3.dic falacious entry [7fe0 0010 OT PXL Pixel Data]
506 due to IdoDude was cleaned out.
508 2002-10-21 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
509 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx RecupLgr split in FindVR and RecupLgr. FindVR
510 concentrates on finding the value representation (when it exists).
511 RecupLgr now only finds the element value length, and it avoids
512 returning the unecessary skL (skipped length).
513 Also, offsetCourant was simply removed (with taille_fich) since
514 it was redundant with the File position internals (by using
515 ftell and fseek). This also made skL (see above in RecupLgr) usage
517 * src/gdcmHeaderIdo.cxx src/gdcmIdo.h added. Those files concentrate
518 on the libido specificities which are handled through class
520 * Test/implicit_vr.dcm dicom v3 in implicit value representation
523 2002-10-17 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
524 * Truckload of changes. Parsing of header is barely functional
525 (see Test/test) with the standard dictionary (see Dicts/dicomV3.dic).
527 2002-10-10 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
528 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx many addons of low level methods
530 2002-10-07 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
531 * src/gdcmHeader now contains_IdDcmCheckSwap, _IdDcmRecupLgr,
534 2002-09-12 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
535 * This corresponds to all the changes decided at the meeting of
536 May 23 2002. Needless to say we are running late...
