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).
20 * src/*.[h] all occurences of stl classes are now prefixed with
21 std::, and all occurences of "using namespace std;" where removed.
22 This is to avoid pollution of global namespace in included files.
23 Apparently vtk does not avoid this pitfall: when using both
24 gdcm and vtk (as in vtk/vtkGdcmReader.cxx) this ended up in a
25 collision of various stl members (principally cout...).
27 2003-05-12 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
28 * src/gdcmHeader>[h/cxx] added gdcmHeader::GetPixelSize()
29 * vtk/vtkGdcmReader.cxx now properly inports the image in the
30 vtk data structure (an image Flip was required).
31 * vtk/testvtkGdcmReader.cxx refers to gdcmData subdir instead of Data.
32 * cosmetic changes in documentation.
34 2003-05-7 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
35 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx: the constructor no longer exits when an
36 unexisting file is given as argument.
37 * The subdirectory Data (containing all the images used for the
38 test suite) is not part of this repository anymore. A new module
39 containing those images is now available at
40 :pserver:xxx@cvs.creatis.insa-lyon.fr:2402/cvs/public
41 with the name gdcmData.
42 All the python scripts (including the package initialisation file
43 gdcmPython/__init__.py) were adapated to take this change into
44 account (basically GDCM_DATA_PATH is now GDCM_TEST_DATA_PATH).
46 2003-05-5 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
47 * vtk subdir added. Contains vtkGdcmReader.[cxx|h] a vtk class
48 inherinting from vtkImageReader and testvtkGdcmReader.cxx a small
49 demo of the usage of this class.
50 Compilation of this vtk part is only done when using the --enable-vtk
51 at configure (or autogen.sh) stage.
53 2003-04-16 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
54 * More memmory link related corrections and documentation fixes.
56 - maximum info is obtained with a command of the form:
57 valgrind --leak-check=yes --leak-resolution=high --num-callers=40
58 --show-reachable=yes PrintHeader
59 - the remaining reachable blocks seem to come from the STL
60 allocation scheme through the usage of map and list. It looks
61 like this memory cannot be freed but it is not a memory leak
62 (in fact further invocation to the STL would recollect the
63 unused memory allthough it cannot explicitely be freed).
64 * gdcmPython/demo/vtkGdcmDemo.py added: this is a small demo
65 of displaying an image parsed with gdcm and displayed with VTK.
66 Note: some images don't seem to work e.g.
67 python vtkGdcmDemo.py ../../Data/US-RGB-8-esopecho.dcm
68 * src/gdcmHeader.x: dicom_vr and Dicts are not class members anymore.
69 Allthough this weakens the semantics, it is a ditch attempt to
70 make gdcm more thread friendly.
72 2003-04-15 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
73 * Memory link hunt (by using valgrind through the command
74 valgrind --show-reachable=yes --leak-check=yes PrintHeader).
75 - added src/gdcmVR.cxx gdcmVR.h that objectify the previous
76 gdcmHeader::_dicom_vr.
77 - gdcmHeader::InitVRDict transfered as gdcmVR::gdcmVR().
78 - gdcmHeader::dicom_vr is now of type gdcmVR* as opposed to
80 - gdcmGlobal global object contained class added (see src/gdcmUtil.x)
82 2003-04-9 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
83 * src/Makefile.am now exports all the necessary include files at
87 * UpdateGroupLength replaced by new one
90 * UpdateGroupLength re-written using H-Table
91 (named UpdateGroupLengthNew untill checks are over)
93 2003-04-7 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
94 * Data/im_00001 renamed to gdcm-MR-PHILIPS-16-Multi-Seq.dcm
95 * gdcmPython/testSuite.py now include a test of gdcmFile::Write.
97 - gdcmHeader::GetPubElValSet removed.
98 - gdcmElValSet::WriteDcm, WriteAcr, WriteExplVR, revamped to
99 UpdateGroupLength, WriteElements, Write.
100 - gdcmHeader::FileType moved to gdcmCommon.h. The enum FileType
101 doesn't contain TrueDicom anymore since ExplicitVR and ImplicitVR
102 carried the same semantics.
103 - src/gdcmHeaderIdo.cxx changed accordingly.
104 - gdcmFile::WriteBase now regroups all the codes from previous
105 versions of WriteDcm, WriteDcmImplVR, and WriteACR.
106 - enum FileType moved to gdcmCommon.h
107 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx AddDefault trashed
109 * getimageDataSize now calls gdcmGetXSize
110 * Test/*.cxx changed to agree with above changes
112 2003-03-31 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
113 * src/gdcmHeader.h: LoadElements() is not a public method anymore
114 (to avoid double call by end user).
115 * Test/*.cxx LoadElements() doesn't need to be called explicitely
116 by end user, since gdcmHeader::gdcmHeader now handles it.
118 2003-03-29 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
119 * gdcm/Doc many doxygen changes:
120 - Doxyfile now has two different versions, DoxyfileUsers that generates
121 the html.users end users oriented documentation and
122 DoxyfileDeveloppers that generates the html.developper developper
123 oriented documentation.
124 - README changed accordingly
125 - requirement.txt removed (old design info moved to TODO).
126 - Additional files DoxyInstallation.txt, DoxyIntroduction.txt,
127 DoxyMainPage.txt, DoxyPython.txt provide more information.
128 - Note: the website http://www.creatis.insa-lyon.fr/Public/Gdcm/ can now
129 be updated by simply regenerating the docs with doxygen and copying
130 html.developper and html.users to tux:/home/httpd/html/Public/Gdcm
131 * src/gdcmElValSet.cxx: stl <map>.count() can only return 0 or 1. Hence
132 all the tests in the form "if (<map>.count() >1)" were removed.
133 * src/gdcmFile.cxx: cosmetic changes to avoid messages of doxygen about
134 ill-formed documentation sections.
135 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx: ditto
137 2003-03-27 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
138 * setup.py fixed for un*x (needed macro for stdint.h)
139 * Test/test.cxx renamed to PrintHeader.cxx to avoid collision on
140 un*ces with sh-utils test utility.
141 * gdcmPython/demo/test.py renamed to PrintHeader.py
142 * gdcmPython/demo/ReorganiseFiles.py new demo script added.
143 * gdcmPython/win32/gdcmpycomplet.dsp renamed to gdcmpyembedded.dsp.
144 * gdcmPython/win32/gdcmpy.dsp trashed away (brain damaged).
145 * src/gdcm*.cxx JPR's bad inclusion fixed.
147 2003-03-26 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
148 * src/gdcmHeader[h, cxx] gdcmHeader now has an IsReadable predicate.
149 * gdcmPython/demo/test.py changed accordingly.
151 2003-03-25 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
152 * gdcmPython/Makefile.am fixed linking against libstdc++
153 * gdcmPython/_gdcm.so symbolic link to gdcmPython/.libs/pygdcm.so added.
154 * Swig subdir (historical tests of swig version 1.3.17++) removed
155 * Test/testChangeEntete.cxx some lines commented out in order to make
157 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx cleaned up wild JPR's dirty kludge.
158 * src/gdcmElValSet.cxx cleaned up frog's forgotten debug message
160 2003-03-24 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
161 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx gdcmHeader::gdcmHeader now calls LoadElements(),
162 hence the user doesn't need this explicit call.
163 - gdcmPython/testSuite.py, gdcmPython/demo/*.py changed accordingly
164 i.e. LoadElements() call removed.
165 * src/gdcmCommon.h now defines UINT32_MAX (see stdint.h).
166 - src/Makefile.am declares the proper flag for g++.
167 * src/gdcmElValSet.h added gdcmElValSet::GenerateFreeTagKeyInGroup
168 for adding user defined new tags.
169 - src/gdcmHeader.cxx gdcmHeader::NewManualElValToPubDict added.
170 - src/gdcmHeader.cxx gdcmHeader::AddAndDefaultElements now
171 cleanly adds some gdcm added tags (like gdcmXSize, gdcmYSize...)
173 2003-03-17 Fabrice Bellet <Fabrice.Bellet@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
174 * Makefile.am, acinclude.m4, configure.in, python.m4, Dicts/Makefile.am,
175 Doc/Makefile.am, Test/Makefile.am, gdcmPython/Makefile.am,
176 src/Makefile.am : the project should properly compile and install
177 with the autotools, included the python wrappers part.
178 * gdcm.spec.in : added a spec file for RPM packaging.
180 2003-03-14 Benoit Regrain <Benoit.Regrain@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
181 * src/gdcmUtils.cxx : redifinition of defaults parameters in code
183 2003-03-12 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
184 * gdcmPython/__init__.py fix of GDCM_DICT_PATH which was not
185 to exported to the environement (see gdcmPython/testSuite.py
187 * src/gdcmElValSet.[cxx/h], gdcmElValue.[cxx/h], gdcmFile.[cxx/h],
188 gdcmHeader.[cxx/h]: ElValSet class renamed to gdcmElValSet, and
189 ElValue class renamed to gdcmElValue for obvious consistency reasons.
190 * src/gdcmElValSet.cxx, src/gdcmUtil.[cxx-h] Tokenize utility function
191 moved away from gdcmElValSet.cxx to gdcmUtil.cxx.
193 2003-03-10 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
194 * gdcmPython/__init__.py doesn't crash anymore when running in
195 in InstallMode or PreInstallMode but with an environement given
196 value of GDCM_DICT_PATH.
197 * src/gdcmDictSet.[cxx/h] coding style.
199 2003-03-06 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
200 * src/gdcmHeader.h and gdcmHeader.cxx Coding style + doxigenation.
201 * src/gdcm.h general comments moved to TODO, and README
202 * src/gdcm.h should now be seen as a user commodity (including it
203 should suffice to fully use gdcm). It is nowhere including within
204 any of the kernel files src/*.cxx and src/*.h.
206 2003-03-05 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
207 * src/gdcm.h splitted in gdcmCommon.h, gdcmDict.h, gdcmDictEntry.h,
208 gdcmDictSet.h, gdcmElValSet.h, gdcmElValue.h, gdcmFile.h,
210 * src/gdcm*.cxx only include their corresponding include file
211 (as opposed to gdcm.h)
212 * gdcmPython/gdcm.i changed accordingly
213 * Test/Makefile.am corrected and added NEWS, AUTHORS in order for
214 the autogen.sh generated "make snapshot" command to work.
215 * autogen.sh removed history related references to crea package.
217 2003-03-04 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
218 * distutilsSwigCPlusPlus.py work around some swig portability
221 2003-03-03 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
222 * Eventually, python/gdcmPython was renamed to gdcmPython. This
223 was done in a last ditch attempt to get setup.py _really_
224 operationnal. The python/gdcmPython layaout add the advantage
225 of hidding away the python related distutils specific files
226 (MANIFEST.in, setup.py, distutils*.py...) from the main directory.
227 Alas, the src directory was out of scope (i.e. it's relative
228 position to setup.py was ../src) which made things impossible to
229 handle (see previous version of python/setup.py). Crossing fingers...
231 2003-02-20 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
232 * python/setup.py now works on Un*x. (harder than I thougth)
233 * python/distutilsSwigCPlusPlus.py can now have include files
234 among the list of sources.
236 2003-02-20 Benoit Regrain <Benoit.Regrain@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
237 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx : bug fix - opening dicom file in binary !!!
238 * modifications in MSVC projects
240 2003-02-19 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
241 * As stated by the first lines of Test/ExceptionAndPython/README, it
242 looks like we can move back to original usage of exception within
243 src/gdcm* and hence remove the errno stuff that was introduced
244 as a quick and dirty fixture of this problem (added to the TODO).
245 * Doc/Doxyfile configuration file for Doxygen and corresponding
246 README file for usage added.
247 * Test/testWrite.cxx added. This new test comes from a split of
248 test.cxx that is now reverted to its original purpous i.e.
249 testing the proper parsing of a Dicom related file.
250 testWrite.cxx concentrates on testing the IO part of gdcm.
251 * Test/bug1.cxx (containing a bug on WIn32) added.
252 * src/gdcm.h, gdcmHeader.cxx, gdcmDictSet.cxx:
253 - gdcmHeader::GetPubTagNames and gdcmHeader::GetPubTagNamesByCategory
254 whose purpose is to publish the content of the TagNames of the
255 Dicom public dictionnary were not accessible without an
256 instance of class gdcmHeader.
257 - those methods are now static methods of gdcmDictSet and hence
258 require no instances at all to be invocated.
259 - within gdcmDictSet this change required to change some method
260 to class methods (i.e. are now static) among which SetDictPath
261 (renamed to BuildDictPath) and LoadDefaultPubDict.
262 * python/gdcmPython/demo/printGroupedPublicDict.py changed to illustrate
263 the above changes by calling the new method classes of gdcmDictSet.
264 * python/gdcmPython/__init__.py now exposes gdcm.gdcmDictSet for
265 the above to be effective.
266 * python/gdcmPython: in order to wrap properly the above changes
267 for Python, swig version now needs to be > 1.3.17.
268 * python/gdcmPython/Makefile fixed to adapt itself to new
269 configure/make shema introduced by Johan Montagnat (thanks for the
270 contribution). Alas this Makefile cannot be turned into a proper
271 Makefile.am without some heavy changes in the configure.in
272 (for python dectection).
273 * python/gdcmPython/gdcm.i: the out typemap map<string, list<string>>*
274 now avoids publishing the empty entries.
276 2003-02-13 Benoit Regrain <Benoit.Regrain@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
277 * python/setup.py : bug fix concerning install under windows
279 * gdcm.dsw : bug fix concerning path for libraries for python !!!
281 2003-02-13 Benoit Regrain <Benoit.Regrain@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
282 * Dicts/dicomV3.dic : remove double spaces !!!
283 * src/gdcmElValSet.cxx : bug fix concerning windows compiler
284 * python/gdcmPython/win32/gdcmpycomplet.dsp : bug fix concerning paths
287 2003-01-28 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
288 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx added a post header parsing AddAndDefaultElements
289 method. Doxygenation.
290 * src/gdcm.h clean up of JPR spurious comments.
292 2003-01-17 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
293 * python/distutilsSwigCPlusPlus.py now properly collects the
294 shadow classes generated by "swig -c++" (gdcm.py in our case)
295 when using "python setup.py install".
296 * python/gdcmPython/__init__.py imports gdcm.py and only manually
297 reexports the working classes.
298 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx all the try/catch/throw calls were replaced
299 by the classical C errno scheme. This is to prevent an obscure
300 behavior of the python wrappers when importing wxPython.wx prior
301 to gdcmPython (which ended up in an abort call). An illustration
302 of this oddity can be found in the Test/ExceptionAndPython
303 subdir (see the README file). This problem probably due to
304 an combination of g++ and dynamic loading.
305 * added Test/ExceptionAndPython (see above)
307 2003-01-17 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
308 * Changed the layout of the python part to avoid bloating main
309 directory with setup.py, distutilsSwigCPlusPlus.py, MANIFEST.in
310 i.e. the distutils arsenal. All the python related stuff is
311 again in a python subdir, but the package itself is now in
313 * setup.py was cleaned up:
314 - pythonIncludePath removed
315 - python setup.py bdist target is now functional.
316 * gdcmPython/__init__.py doesn't export FileName any more (to avoid
317 collision with other packages). gdcmPython/demo/*.py changed
319 2003-01-15 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
320 * python subdir moved to gdcmPython (preparation of distutils packaging).
321 * gdcmPython/setup.py and distutilsSwigCPlusPlus.py added. The
322 distutils installer is operational.
323 * - gdcmPython/__init__.py now properly loads the swig generated
324 shadow classes (from gdcm.py).
325 - gdcmPython/demo/*.py changed to import the package gdcmPython
326 instead of gdcmPython/demo/load.py.
327 - gdcmPython/testSuite.py changed to import the package gdcmPython.
330 2002-12-16 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
331 * src/gdcm.h, src/gdcmHeader.cxx: added GetPubTagNames() resp.
332 GetPubTagNamesByCategory() to gdcmHeader that return a list of the
333 entries within the associated public Dicom dictionary resp. the same
334 information but sorted by the fourth field (PAT, IMG, DIR) of the
336 - Dicts/dicomV3.dic Entries which had and unspecified fourth field
337 are now in the "???" group.
338 - python/gdcm.i changed accordingly,
339 - python/demo/printGroupedPublicDict.py added, that gives an example
340 of the above new functionalities in Python.
342 2002-12-11 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
343 * src/gdcm.h, gdcmHeader.cxx:
344 - historic references to glib's g_malloc and g_free (#defined)
345 were definitively removed.
346 - gdcm.h: cosmetic changes (part of comments moved to Doc/requirements)
347 * src/gdcmElValSet.cxx:
348 - GetElement(guint32, guint32) renamed to GetElementByNumber.
349 - GetElValue(guint32, guint32) renamed to GetElValueByNumber.
350 - GetElValue(string) renamed to GetElValueByName.
351 - Added GetElementByName(string).
352 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx: added
353 - GetPubElValRepByNumber(guint16, guint16)
354 - GetPubElValRepByName(string)
355 - GetShaElValRepByNumber(guint16, guint16)
356 - GetShaElValRepByName(string)
357 - GetShaElValByNumber(guint16, guint16)
358 - GetShaElValRepByName(string)
359 - GetElValRepByNumber(guint16, guint16)
360 - GetElValRepByName(string)
361 - GetElValByNumber(guint16, guint16)
362 - GetElValRepByName(string)
363 * Doc/requirements.txt added.
365 2002-12-9 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
366 * Test/Makefile building now depends on the one of libgdcm.so
367 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx and gdcm.h are now OB (undefined length encoded
368 pixel data) aware which enables finding the address (offset) of
369 the pixel data of JPEG encoded DICOM files. This leaves only a single
370 file in the testSuite whose pixel data address (offset) is unknown.
371 * python/testSuite.py changed accordingly.
373 2002-12-6 Christophe Odet + Hugues Benoit-Cattin + Eric.Boix
374 * VC++ has some strong limitations when working with the STL, as stated
375 in http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q168/9/58.ASP :
376 "Also note that some STL containers (map, set, queue, list, deque)
377 cannot be exported. [...]
378 Some STL classes contain nested classes. These classes can not
380 This is caused by a designed limitation that once a template
381 class is instantiated, it can not be re-instantiated and
383 Since our usage of map<> is ubiquitous in gdcm, this "designed
384 limitation" of VC++ is a pitfall.
385 Hence the Python wrappers of gdcm cannot be incrementally linked
386 against the c++ dynamic library. The dirty but only workaround is
387 to forget about incremental link of dynamic libraries and to generate
388 the Python wrappers library with the inclusions of the underlying C++
390 The following modifications concern this matter on Win32/VC++:
391 - wrapping python correct with standalone wrapped dll (don't use separate
392 dll under windows !!!!)
393 - python21_d debug mode enabled (ask Frog how to use it :-)
394 - NO problem with having an STL member of class for example string in C++
395 WITH THE RESTRICTION OF FORGETING ABOUT INCREMENTAL LINK.
396 - Python test of dcmlib in Python is ok under windows on a large set
398 * removed glib references
399 * typedef's inserted in gdcm.i for correct swig type management
401 2002-11-27 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
402 * python/demo/*.py load.py extracted from test.py. Added explore.py
403 that only displays required tags and testAll.py that parses all
404 the files of the testsuite without using unittest.
405 * python/testSuite.py other additional test on new files added.
406 * Data/* new test files added accordingly to the testSuite.
407 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx avoid overwriting of the dictionary when
408 the vr in the file differs from the one of the dictionary.
410 2002-11-20 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
411 * src/gdcm.h and gdcmHeader.cxx gdcm no longer loads all the elements
412 values, but limits itself to values which are below a user specified
413 size (by default 1024 bytes).
414 * python/gdcm.i : elements not loaded (because their size is above the
415 user specified treshold) are exported with their TagKey as key of the
416 python dictionary. This enables the testsuite to make some checks
417 on the unloaded elements (since we have their offset and size).
418 * python/testSuite.py
419 - now tests for the existence and proper value of the pixel data
420 - two new examples added.
421 * Data/gdcm-MR-SIEMENS-16.acr[12] added.
423 2002-11-18 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
424 * src/gdcm.h and gdcmHeader.cxx are now "Big Endian transfer syntax"
425 aware. See the strategy comments in gdcmHeader::FindeLength().
426 * Test/test.cxx now accepts a filename as first argument.
427 * Data/US-PAL-8-10x-echo.dcm and US-RGB-8-epicard.dcm added.
428 * python/testSuite.py changed to integrate test on above files.
430 2002-11-15 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
431 * Dicts/dicomV3.dic removed all the trailing (RET) when the
433 * python/testSuite.py more tests added.
435 2002-11-14 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
436 * python/testSuite.py unittest test suite added (uses Data)
437 * Data/* dcm and acr files for the test suite.
438 * glib dependance removed from un*x version. We now use ISO C99
439 7.18 Integer types (see stdint.h)
440 - python/Makefile, src/Makefile src/gdcm.h
441 * src/ when an explicit vr (like dicom files) suddenly poped an
442 implicit element we use to mark the underlying DictEntry of the
443 concerned ElValue with "Implicit". This strategy was damageable
444 too the public or provite dictionaries, since some of their vr
445 would be changed. Since Header::FindLength heavily relies on the
446 detection by Header::FindVR of falsely explicit elements, I
447 added an extra ImplicitVr member to ElValue (boolean).
448 The rest of the changes we the necessary adaptations.
450 2002-11-12 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
451 * src/gdcmHeader::FindLength bug fix when trapping falsely explicit
453 * src/gdcmHeader::FindVR: hard way fix of falsely explicit vr files.
455 2002-11-8 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
456 * Adaptation for porting to VC++:
458 o forced to use std namespace (for string to be known)
459 o all class use __declspec export style on WIN32
460 - src/gdcmUtil.cxx new Exit method that wraps the exit call
461 (in stdlib.h on Win32 but in std:: for gcc)
462 * src/gdcmDictSet::SetDictPath adds a trailing / to environement
463 variable GDCM_DICT_PATH.
464 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx verbose comments made discrete.
466 2002-11-7 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
467 * python/gdcm.i: added a typemap that converts a C++ hashing table
468 to native Python dictionary.
469 * python/demo/test.py:
470 - now uses the native dictionary for exploration of gdcmHeader.
471 - takes an optional filename argument (the file to parse).
472 * src/gdcm.h and gdcmHeader.cxx: gdcmHeader now has an accessor on
473 PubElVals hashing table.
474 * Dicts/dicomV3.dic removed error prone trailing spaces.
476 2002-11-6 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
477 * Python wrapping process moved away from src/Makefile to
478 newly created python/Makefile (as well as gdcm.i)
479 * python/demo/test.py (that mirrors Test/test.cxx) is effective.
480 * src/gdcmHeader::FindLength only looks for current vr when necessary.
481 * src/gdcmDictSet.cxx: the dictionnaries directory path is now imported
482 from the environement variable GDCM_DICT_PATH (when existing).
483 * src/gdcmDict::GetTag bug fix.
485 2002-10-31 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
486 * Straightforward temporary fixes for swig to build the python wrappers.
487 src/Makefile now has a python working entry [by working we mean
488 that we can import de shadow classes without errors].
490 2002-10-29 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
491 * hashtest.cxx removed (since allready in Test)
492 * src/gdcmlib.h renamed to src/gdcm.h
493 * src/dcm.i renamed to src/gdcm.i
494 * src/Makefile prepared for python wrapping
496 2002-10-29 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
497 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx :
498 - Parsing of header is now separated from loading of element values
499 (see gdcmHeader::LoadElements).
500 - general clean up of hopefully all file access (creation of
501 ReadInt16 and ReadInt32)
503 2002-10-22 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
504 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx :
505 - RecupLgr renamed to FindLength and cut off with new IsAnInteger
507 - SetLgrElem renamed to SetLength
508 - GetLgrElem renamed to GetLength
509 - ~gdcmHeader() made virtual to pesky warning messages at compile.
510 * src/gdcmElValSet.cxx fixed both GetElValue methods
511 * Dicts/dicomV3.dic falacious entry [7fe0 0010 OT PXL Pixel Data]
512 due to IdoDude was cleaned out.
514 2002-10-21 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
515 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx RecupLgr split in FindVR and RecupLgr. FindVR
516 concentrates on finding the value representation (when it exists).
517 RecupLgr now only finds the element value length, and it avoids
518 returning the unecessary skL (skipped length).
519 Also, offsetCourant was simply removed (with taille_fich) since
520 it was redundant with the File position internals (by using
521 ftell and fseek). This also made skL (see above in RecupLgr) usage
523 * src/gdcmHeaderIdo.cxx src/gdcmIdo.h added. Those files concentrate
524 on the libido specificities which are handled through class
526 * Test/implicit_vr.dcm dicom v3 in implicit value representation
529 2002-10-17 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
530 * Truckload of changes. Parsing of header is barely functional
531 (see Test/test) with the standard dictionary (see Dicts/dicomV3.dic).
533 2002-10-10 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
534 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx many addons of low level methods
536 2002-10-07 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
537 * src/gdcmHeader now contains_IdDcmCheckSwap, _IdDcmRecupLgr,
540 2002-09-12 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
541 * This corresponds to all the changes decided at the meeting of
542 May 23 2002. Needless to say we are running late...
