1 2003-06-03 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
2 * vtk/vtkGdcmReader.cxx: hopefully corrected Z extent.
4 2003-06-02 Benoit Regrain <Benoit.Regrain@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
5 * vtk/vtkGdcmReader[cxx|h] : makes correct code to remove conflicts
6 between standard library (std) and vtk library (problems are found
7 under Windows... thanks Windows !)
9 2003-05-30 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
10 * vtk/vtkGdcmReader[cxx|h] should now be volume aware (read ready for
12 * gdcmPython/demo/vtkGdcmReader.py: commented lines for volume test
14 2003-05-29 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
15 * vtk/vtkGdcmReader[cxx|h] preparation addons for loading volumes.
17 2003-05-28 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
18 * When compiling with distutils (see setup.py) the C++ compiler is
19 called with different flags than the default ones (with automake).
20 In order to fix all those warning, I compiled gdcm with the command
21 make 'CXXFLAGS=-Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -D__STDC_LIMIT_MACROS'
22 and went for warning fixes:
23 - src/gdcmHeader.cxx, Test/dcm2acr.cxx, pourFindTaggs.cxx cleaned
24 up from unused variables.
25 - vtk/vtkGdcmReader.cxx: potential bug fix.
26 * src/gdcmHeader.h: Doxygen warning cleanup
28 2003-05-27 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
30 - typemaps correction to take into account the systematic replacement
31 of "using namespace std" with std:: prefix e.g. std::list,
32 std::string... (cf changes of 2003-05-21).
33 - gdcmGlob global variable of type gdcmGlobal (defined in
34 src/gdcmUtil.cxx and declared in gdcmPython/gdcm.i) is now
35 exported to Python a as cvar.
36 * gdcmPython/__init__.py now defines two functions GetPubDictTagNames()
37 and GetPubDictTagNamesByCategory() as a replacement for deprecated
38 gdcmDictSet.GetPubDictTagNames() and
39 gdcmDictSet.GetPubDictTagNamesByCategory() class functions (i.e.
41 * gdcmPython/demo/printGroupedPublicDict.py is operational again,
42 with the above changes.
44 2003-05-22 Benoit Regrain <Benoit.Regrain@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
45 * setup.py, manifest.in : bug fix under linux
47 2003-05-22 Benoit Regrain <Benoit.Regrain@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
48 * Modification of setup.py to compile vtk part too. Then, we have 2
49 wrappers which must work with same distutils. For that, we have a
50 generic distutils in distusiltsWrapping.py ; with :
51 - build_extWrap class to wrap generically all extensions,
52 - ExtensionWrap base class for all wrapping extension that contains
54 - Wrapper interface which wrap sources
55 + In WrapSwig.py we have extension and wrapper for Swig
56 + In WrapVTK.py we have extension and wrapper for VTK
57 * MANIFEST.in : modifications to consider vtk directory and new python
60 2003-05-21 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with Benoit Regrain
61 * Added python wrappers of vtkGdcmReader vtk class (see the
62 source in vtk/vtkGdcmReader.cxx) :
63 - vtk/Makefile.am now builds a library
64 - gdcmPython/Makefile.am now builds vtkgdcmPython a second import
65 python library (as opposed to _gdcm.so wich are the python
66 wrappers of gdcm). vtkgdcmPython.so uses the vtk python wrappers
67 (vtkWrapPython and vtkWrapPythonInit utility) to build vtkgdcmPython
69 - configure.in has an additional flag --enable-vtk that needs
70 to be set to enable compilation of vtk related code, that is:
71 + vtk/vtkGdcmReader.so and
72 + vtk/testvtkGdcmReader C++ demo of vtk wrappers of gdcm)
73 + gdcmPython/vtkgdcmPython.so (see above)
74 - gdcmPython/demo/vtkGdcmDemo.py corrected (some images cannot
75 be read when compressed or when HighBit + 1 != BitsStored),
76 - gdcmPython/demo/vtkGdcmReader.py added. This demo illustrates
77 the usage of the python wrapper of vtkGdcmReader vtk class.
78 * vtk/vtkGdcmReader.cxx: bug fixed (thanks to Benoit Regrain).
79 * src/*.[h] all occurences of stl classes are now prefixed with
80 std::, and all occurences of "using namespace std;" where removed.
81 This is to avoid pollution of global namespace in included files.
82 Apparently vtk does not avoid this pitfall: when using both
83 gdcm and vtk (as in vtk/vtkGdcmReader.cxx) this ended up in a
84 collision of various stl members (principally cout...).
85 * gdcmPython/testSuite.py now cleanly removes temprory generated
87 * gdcmPython/gdcm.i now declares a typemap for std::string (to
88 comply with above changes)
90 2003-05-12 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
91 * src/gdcmHeader>[h/cxx] added gdcmHeader::GetPixelSize()
92 * vtk/vtkGdcmReader.cxx now properly inports the image in the
93 vtk data structure (an image Flip was required).
94 * vtk/testvtkGdcmReader.cxx refers to gdcmData subdir instead of Data.
95 * cosmetic changes in documentation.
97 2003-05-7 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
98 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx: the constructor no longer exits when an
99 unexisting file is given as argument.
100 * The subdirectory Data (containing all the images used for the
101 test suite) is not part of this repository anymore. A new module
102 containing those images is now available at
103 :pserver:xxx@cvs.creatis.insa-lyon.fr:2402/cvs/public
104 with the name gdcmData.
105 All the python scripts (including the package initialisation file
106 gdcmPython/__init__.py) were adapated to take this change into
107 account (basically GDCM_DATA_PATH is now GDCM_TEST_DATA_PATH).
109 2003-05-5 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
110 * vtk subdir added. Contains vtkGdcmReader.[cxx|h] a vtk class
111 inherinting from vtkImageReader and testvtkGdcmReader.cxx a small
112 demo of the usage of this class.
113 Compilation of this vtk part is only done when using the --enable-vtk
114 at configure (or autogen.sh) stage.
116 2003-04-16 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
117 * More memmory link related corrections and documentation fixes.
119 - maximum info is obtained with a command of the form:
120 valgrind --leak-check=yes --leak-resolution=high --num-callers=40
121 --show-reachable=yes PrintHeader
122 - the remaining reachable blocks seem to come from the STL
123 allocation scheme through the usage of map and list. It looks
124 like this memory cannot be freed but it is not a memory leak
125 (in fact further invocation to the STL would recollect the
126 unused memory allthough it cannot explicitely be freed).
127 * gdcmPython/demo/vtkGdcmDemo.py added: this is a small demo
128 of displaying an image parsed with gdcm and displayed with VTK.
129 Note: some images don't seem to work e.g.
130 python vtkGdcmDemo.py ../../Data/US-RGB-8-esopecho.dcm
131 * src/gdcmHeader.x: dicom_vr and Dicts are not class members anymore.
132 Allthough this weakens the semantics, it is a ditch attempt to
133 make gdcm more thread friendly.
135 2003-04-15 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
136 * Memory link hunt (by using valgrind through the command
137 valgrind --show-reachable=yes --leak-check=yes PrintHeader).
138 - added src/gdcmVR.cxx gdcmVR.h that objectify the previous
139 gdcmHeader::_dicom_vr.
140 - gdcmHeader::InitVRDict transfered as gdcmVR::gdcmVR().
141 - gdcmHeader::dicom_vr is now of type gdcmVR* as opposed to
143 - gdcmGlobal global object contained class added (see src/gdcmUtil.x)
145 2003-04-9 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
146 * src/Makefile.am now exports all the necessary include files at
150 * UpdateGroupLength replaced by new one
153 * UpdateGroupLength re-written using H-Table
154 (named UpdateGroupLengthNew untill checks are over)
156 2003-04-7 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
157 * Data/im_00001 renamed to gdcm-MR-PHILIPS-16-Multi-Seq.dcm
158 * gdcmPython/testSuite.py now include a test of gdcmFile::Write.
160 - gdcmHeader::GetPubElValSet removed.
161 - gdcmElValSet::WriteDcm, WriteAcr, WriteExplVR, revamped to
162 UpdateGroupLength, WriteElements, Write.
163 - gdcmHeader::FileType moved to gdcmCommon.h. The enum FileType
164 doesn't contain TrueDicom anymore since ExplicitVR and ImplicitVR
165 carried the same semantics.
166 - src/gdcmHeaderIdo.cxx changed accordingly.
167 - gdcmFile::WriteBase now regroups all the codes from previous
168 versions of WriteDcm, WriteDcmImplVR, and WriteACR.
169 - enum FileType moved to gdcmCommon.h
170 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx AddDefault trashed
172 * getimageDataSize now calls gdcmGetXSize
173 * Test/*.cxx changed to agree with above changes
175 2003-03-31 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
176 * src/gdcmHeader.h: LoadElements() is not a public method anymore
177 (to avoid double call by end user).
178 * Test/*.cxx LoadElements() doesn't need to be called explicitely
179 by end user, since gdcmHeader::gdcmHeader now handles it.
181 2003-03-29 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
182 * gdcm/Doc many doxygen changes:
183 - Doxyfile now has two different versions, DoxyfileUsers that generates
184 the html.users end users oriented documentation and
185 DoxyfileDeveloppers that generates the html.developper developper
186 oriented documentation.
187 - README changed accordingly
188 - requirement.txt removed (old design info moved to TODO).
189 - Additional files DoxyInstallation.txt, DoxyIntroduction.txt,
190 DoxyMainPage.txt, DoxyPython.txt provide more information.
191 - Note: the website http://www.creatis.insa-lyon.fr/Public/Gdcm/ can now
192 be updated by simply regenerating the docs with doxygen and copying
193 html.developper and html.users to tux:/home/httpd/html/Public/Gdcm
194 * src/gdcmElValSet.cxx: stl <map>.count() can only return 0 or 1. Hence
195 all the tests in the form "if (<map>.count() >1)" were removed.
196 * src/gdcmFile.cxx: cosmetic changes to avoid messages of doxygen about
197 ill-formed documentation sections.
198 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx: ditto
200 2003-03-27 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
201 * setup.py fixed for un*x (needed macro for stdint.h)
202 * Test/test.cxx renamed to PrintHeader.cxx to avoid collision on
203 un*ces with sh-utils test utility.
204 * gdcmPython/demo/test.py renamed to PrintHeader.py
205 * gdcmPython/demo/ReorganiseFiles.py new demo script added.
206 * gdcmPython/win32/gdcmpycomplet.dsp renamed to gdcmpyembedded.dsp.
207 * gdcmPython/win32/gdcmpy.dsp trashed away (brain damaged).
208 * src/gdcm*.cxx JPR's bad inclusion fixed.
210 2003-03-26 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
211 * src/gdcmHeader[h, cxx] gdcmHeader now has an IsReadable predicate.
212 * gdcmPython/demo/test.py changed accordingly.
214 2003-03-25 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
215 * gdcmPython/Makefile.am fixed linking against libstdc++
216 * gdcmPython/_gdcm.so symbolic link to gdcmPython/.libs/pygdcm.so added.
217 * Swig subdir (historical tests of swig version 1.3.17++) removed
218 * Test/testChangeEntete.cxx some lines commented out in order to make
220 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx cleaned up wild JPR's dirty kludge.
221 * src/gdcmElValSet.cxx cleaned up frog's forgotten debug message
223 2003-03-24 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
224 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx gdcmHeader::gdcmHeader now calls LoadElements(),
225 hence the user doesn't need this explicit call.
226 - gdcmPython/testSuite.py, gdcmPython/demo/*.py changed accordingly
227 i.e. LoadElements() call removed.
228 * src/gdcmCommon.h now defines UINT32_MAX (see stdint.h).
229 - src/Makefile.am declares the proper flag for g++.
230 * src/gdcmElValSet.h added gdcmElValSet::GenerateFreeTagKeyInGroup
231 for adding user defined new tags.
232 - src/gdcmHeader.cxx gdcmHeader::NewManualElValToPubDict added.
233 - src/gdcmHeader.cxx gdcmHeader::AddAndDefaultElements now
234 cleanly adds some gdcm added tags (like gdcmXSize, gdcmYSize...)
236 2003-03-17 Fabrice Bellet <Fabrice.Bellet@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
237 * Makefile.am, acinclude.m4, configure.in, python.m4, Dicts/Makefile.am,
238 Doc/Makefile.am, Test/Makefile.am, gdcmPython/Makefile.am,
239 src/Makefile.am : the project should properly compile and install
240 with the autotools, included the python wrappers part.
241 * gdcm.spec.in : added a spec file for RPM packaging.
243 2003-03-14 Benoit Regrain <Benoit.Regrain@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
244 * src/gdcmUtils.cxx : redifinition of defaults parameters in code
246 2003-03-12 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
247 * gdcmPython/__init__.py fix of GDCM_DICT_PATH which was not
248 to exported to the environement (see gdcmPython/testSuite.py
250 * src/gdcmElValSet.[cxx/h], gdcmElValue.[cxx/h], gdcmFile.[cxx/h],
251 gdcmHeader.[cxx/h]: ElValSet class renamed to gdcmElValSet, and
252 ElValue class renamed to gdcmElValue for obvious consistency reasons.
253 * src/gdcmElValSet.cxx, src/gdcmUtil.[cxx-h] Tokenize utility function
254 moved away from gdcmElValSet.cxx to gdcmUtil.cxx.
256 2003-03-10 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
257 * gdcmPython/__init__.py doesn't crash anymore when running in
258 in InstallMode or PreInstallMode but with an environement given
259 value of GDCM_DICT_PATH.
260 * src/gdcmDictSet.[cxx/h] coding style.
262 2003-03-06 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
263 * src/gdcmHeader.h and gdcmHeader.cxx Coding style + doxigenation.
264 * src/gdcm.h general comments moved to TODO, and README
265 * src/gdcm.h should now be seen as a user commodity (including it
266 should suffice to fully use gdcm). It is nowhere including within
267 any of the kernel files src/*.cxx and src/*.h.
269 2003-03-05 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
270 * src/gdcm.h splitted in gdcmCommon.h, gdcmDict.h, gdcmDictEntry.h,
271 gdcmDictSet.h, gdcmElValSet.h, gdcmElValue.h, gdcmFile.h,
273 * src/gdcm*.cxx only include their corresponding include file
274 (as opposed to gdcm.h)
275 * gdcmPython/gdcm.i changed accordingly
276 * Test/Makefile.am corrected and added NEWS, AUTHORS in order for
277 the autogen.sh generated "make snapshot" command to work.
278 * autogen.sh removed history related references to crea package.
280 2003-03-04 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
281 * distutilsSwigCPlusPlus.py work around some swig portability
284 2003-03-03 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
285 * Eventually, python/gdcmPython was renamed to gdcmPython. This
286 was done in a last ditch attempt to get setup.py _really_
287 operationnal. The python/gdcmPython layaout add the advantage
288 of hidding away the python related distutils specific files
289 (MANIFEST.in, setup.py, distutils*.py...) from the main directory.
290 Alas, the src directory was out of scope (i.e. it's relative
291 position to setup.py was ../src) which made things impossible to
292 handle (see previous version of python/setup.py). Crossing fingers...
294 2003-02-20 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
295 * python/setup.py now works on Un*x. (harder than I thougth)
296 * python/distutilsSwigCPlusPlus.py can now have include files
297 among the list of sources.
299 2003-02-20 Benoit Regrain <Benoit.Regrain@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
300 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx : bug fix - opening dicom file in binary !!!
301 * modifications in MSVC projects
303 2003-02-19 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
304 * As stated by the first lines of Test/ExceptionAndPython/README, it
305 looks like we can move back to original usage of exception within
306 src/gdcm* and hence remove the errno stuff that was introduced
307 as a quick and dirty fixture of this problem (added to the TODO).
308 * Doc/Doxyfile configuration file for Doxygen and corresponding
309 README file for usage added.
310 * Test/testWrite.cxx added. This new test comes from a split of
311 test.cxx that is now reverted to its original purpous i.e.
312 testing the proper parsing of a Dicom related file.
313 testWrite.cxx concentrates on testing the IO part of gdcm.
314 * Test/bug1.cxx (containing a bug on WIn32) added.
315 * src/gdcm.h, gdcmHeader.cxx, gdcmDictSet.cxx:
316 - gdcmHeader::GetPubTagNames and gdcmHeader::GetPubTagNamesByCategory
317 whose purpose is to publish the content of the TagNames of the
318 Dicom public dictionnary were not accessible without an
319 instance of class gdcmHeader.
320 - those methods are now static methods of gdcmDictSet and hence
321 require no instances at all to be invocated.
322 - within gdcmDictSet this change required to change some method
323 to class methods (i.e. are now static) among which SetDictPath
324 (renamed to BuildDictPath) and LoadDefaultPubDict.
325 * python/gdcmPython/demo/printGroupedPublicDict.py changed to illustrate
326 the above changes by calling the new method classes of gdcmDictSet.
327 * python/gdcmPython/__init__.py now exposes gdcm.gdcmDictSet for
328 the above to be effective.
329 * python/gdcmPython: in order to wrap properly the above changes
330 for Python, swig version now needs to be > 1.3.17.
331 * python/gdcmPython/Makefile fixed to adapt itself to new
332 configure/make shema introduced by Johan Montagnat (thanks for the
333 contribution). Alas this Makefile cannot be turned into a proper
334 Makefile.am without some heavy changes in the configure.in
335 (for python dectection).
336 * python/gdcmPython/gdcm.i: the out typemap map<string, list<string>>*
337 now avoids publishing the empty entries.
339 2003-02-13 Benoit Regrain <Benoit.Regrain@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
340 * python/setup.py : bug fix concerning install under windows
342 * gdcm.dsw : bug fix concerning path for libraries for python !!!
344 2003-02-13 Benoit Regrain <Benoit.Regrain@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
345 * Dicts/dicomV3.dic : remove double spaces !!!
346 * src/gdcmElValSet.cxx : bug fix concerning windows compiler
347 * python/gdcmPython/win32/gdcmpycomplet.dsp : bug fix concerning paths
350 2003-01-28 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
351 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx added a post header parsing AddAndDefaultElements
352 method. Doxygenation.
353 * src/gdcm.h clean up of JPR spurious comments.
355 2003-01-17 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
356 * python/distutilsSwigCPlusPlus.py now properly collects the
357 shadow classes generated by "swig -c++" (gdcm.py in our case)
358 when using "python setup.py install".
359 * python/gdcmPython/__init__.py imports gdcm.py and only manually
360 reexports the working classes.
361 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx all the try/catch/throw calls were replaced
362 by the classical C errno scheme. This is to prevent an obscure
363 behavior of the python wrappers when importing wxPython.wx prior
364 to gdcmPython (which ended up in an abort call). An illustration
365 of this oddity can be found in the Test/ExceptionAndPython
366 subdir (see the README file). This problem probably due to
367 an combination of g++ and dynamic loading.
368 * added Test/ExceptionAndPython (see above)
370 2003-01-17 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
371 * Changed the layout of the python part to avoid bloating main
372 directory with setup.py, distutilsSwigCPlusPlus.py, MANIFEST.in
373 i.e. the distutils arsenal. All the python related stuff is
374 again in a python subdir, but the package itself is now in
376 * setup.py was cleaned up:
377 - pythonIncludePath removed
378 - python setup.py bdist target is now functional.
379 * gdcmPython/__init__.py doesn't export FileName any more (to avoid
380 collision with other packages). gdcmPython/demo/*.py changed
382 2003-01-15 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
383 * python subdir moved to gdcmPython (preparation of distutils packaging).
384 * gdcmPython/setup.py and distutilsSwigCPlusPlus.py added. The
385 distutils installer is operational.
386 * - gdcmPython/__init__.py now properly loads the swig generated
387 shadow classes (from gdcm.py).
388 - gdcmPython/demo/*.py changed to import the package gdcmPython
389 instead of gdcmPython/demo/load.py.
390 - gdcmPython/testSuite.py changed to import the package gdcmPython.
393 2002-12-16 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
394 * src/gdcm.h, src/gdcmHeader.cxx: added GetPubTagNames() resp.
395 GetPubTagNamesByCategory() to gdcmHeader that return a list of the
396 entries within the associated public Dicom dictionary resp. the same
397 information but sorted by the fourth field (PAT, IMG, DIR) of the
399 - Dicts/dicomV3.dic Entries which had and unspecified fourth field
400 are now in the "???" group.
401 - python/gdcm.i changed accordingly,
402 - python/demo/printGroupedPublicDict.py added, that gives an example
403 of the above new functionalities in Python.
405 2002-12-11 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
406 * src/gdcm.h, gdcmHeader.cxx:
407 - historic references to glib's g_malloc and g_free (#defined)
408 were definitively removed.
409 - gdcm.h: cosmetic changes (part of comments moved to Doc/requirements)
410 * src/gdcmElValSet.cxx:
411 - GetElement(guint32, guint32) renamed to GetElementByNumber.
412 - GetElValue(guint32, guint32) renamed to GetElValueByNumber.
413 - GetElValue(string) renamed to GetElValueByName.
414 - Added GetElementByName(string).
415 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx: added
416 - GetPubElValRepByNumber(guint16, guint16)
417 - GetPubElValRepByName(string)
418 - GetShaElValRepByNumber(guint16, guint16)
419 - GetShaElValRepByName(string)
420 - GetShaElValByNumber(guint16, guint16)
421 - GetShaElValRepByName(string)
422 - GetElValRepByNumber(guint16, guint16)
423 - GetElValRepByName(string)
424 - GetElValByNumber(guint16, guint16)
425 - GetElValRepByName(string)
426 * Doc/requirements.txt added.
428 2002-12-9 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
429 * Test/Makefile building now depends on the one of libgdcm.so
430 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx and gdcm.h are now OB (undefined length encoded
431 pixel data) aware which enables finding the address (offset) of
432 the pixel data of JPEG encoded DICOM files. This leaves only a single
433 file in the testSuite whose pixel data address (offset) is unknown.
434 * python/testSuite.py changed accordingly.
436 2002-12-6 Christophe Odet + Hugues Benoit-Cattin + Eric.Boix
437 * VC++ has some strong limitations when working with the STL, as stated
438 in http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q168/9/58.ASP :
439 "Also note that some STL containers (map, set, queue, list, deque)
440 cannot be exported. [...]
441 Some STL classes contain nested classes. These classes can not
443 This is caused by a designed limitation that once a template
444 class is instantiated, it can not be re-instantiated and
446 Since our usage of map<> is ubiquitous in gdcm, this "designed
447 limitation" of VC++ is a pitfall.
448 Hence the Python wrappers of gdcm cannot be incrementally linked
449 against the c++ dynamic library. The dirty but only workaround is
450 to forget about incremental link of dynamic libraries and to generate
451 the Python wrappers library with the inclusions of the underlying C++
453 The following modifications concern this matter on Win32/VC++:
454 - wrapping python correct with standalone wrapped dll (don't use separate
455 dll under windows !!!!)
456 - python21_d debug mode enabled (ask Frog how to use it :-)
457 - NO problem with having an STL member of class for example string in C++
458 WITH THE RESTRICTION OF FORGETING ABOUT INCREMENTAL LINK.
459 - Python test of dcmlib in Python is ok under windows on a large set
461 * removed glib references
462 * typedef's inserted in gdcm.i for correct swig type management
464 2002-11-27 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
465 * python/demo/*.py load.py extracted from test.py. Added explore.py
466 that only displays required tags and testAll.py that parses all
467 the files of the testsuite without using unittest.
468 * python/testSuite.py other additional test on new files added.
469 * Data/* new test files added accordingly to the testSuite.
470 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx avoid overwriting of the dictionary when
471 the vr in the file differs from the one of the dictionary.
473 2002-11-20 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
474 * src/gdcm.h and gdcmHeader.cxx gdcm no longer loads all the elements
475 values, but limits itself to values which are below a user specified
476 size (by default 1024 bytes).
477 * python/gdcm.i : elements not loaded (because their size is above the
478 user specified treshold) are exported with their TagKey as key of the
479 python dictionary. This enables the testsuite to make some checks
480 on the unloaded elements (since we have their offset and size).
481 * python/testSuite.py
482 - now tests for the existence and proper value of the pixel data
483 - two new examples added.
484 * Data/gdcm-MR-SIEMENS-16.acr[12] added.
486 2002-11-18 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
487 * src/gdcm.h and gdcmHeader.cxx are now "Big Endian transfer syntax"
488 aware. See the strategy comments in gdcmHeader::FindeLength().
489 * Test/test.cxx now accepts a filename as first argument.
490 * Data/US-PAL-8-10x-echo.dcm and US-RGB-8-epicard.dcm added.
491 * python/testSuite.py changed to integrate test on above files.
493 2002-11-15 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
494 * Dicts/dicomV3.dic removed all the trailing (RET) when the
496 * python/testSuite.py more tests added.
498 2002-11-14 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
499 * python/testSuite.py unittest test suite added (uses Data)
500 * Data/* dcm and acr files for the test suite.
501 * glib dependance removed from un*x version. We now use ISO C99
502 7.18 Integer types (see stdint.h)
503 - python/Makefile, src/Makefile src/gdcm.h
504 * src/ when an explicit vr (like dicom files) suddenly poped an
505 implicit element we use to mark the underlying DictEntry of the
506 concerned ElValue with "Implicit". This strategy was damageable
507 too the public or provite dictionaries, since some of their vr
508 would be changed. Since Header::FindLength heavily relies on the
509 detection by Header::FindVR of falsely explicit elements, I
510 added an extra ImplicitVr member to ElValue (boolean).
511 The rest of the changes we the necessary adaptations.
513 2002-11-12 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
514 * src/gdcmHeader::FindLength bug fix when trapping falsely explicit
516 * src/gdcmHeader::FindVR: hard way fix of falsely explicit vr files.
518 2002-11-8 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
519 * Adaptation for porting to VC++:
521 o forced to use std namespace (for string to be known)
522 o all class use __declspec export style on WIN32
523 - src/gdcmUtil.cxx new Exit method that wraps the exit call
524 (in stdlib.h on Win32 but in std:: for gcc)
525 * src/gdcmDictSet::SetDictPath adds a trailing / to environement
526 variable GDCM_DICT_PATH.
527 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx verbose comments made discrete.
529 2002-11-7 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
530 * python/gdcm.i: added a typemap that converts a C++ hashing table
531 to native Python dictionary.
532 * python/demo/test.py:
533 - now uses the native dictionary for exploration of gdcmHeader.
534 - takes an optional filename argument (the file to parse).
535 * src/gdcm.h and gdcmHeader.cxx: gdcmHeader now has an accessor on
536 PubElVals hashing table.
537 * Dicts/dicomV3.dic removed error prone trailing spaces.
539 2002-11-6 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
540 * Python wrapping process moved away from src/Makefile to
541 newly created python/Makefile (as well as gdcm.i)
542 * python/demo/test.py (that mirrors Test/test.cxx) is effective.
543 * src/gdcmHeader::FindLength only looks for current vr when necessary.
544 * src/gdcmDictSet.cxx: the dictionnaries directory path is now imported
545 from the environement variable GDCM_DICT_PATH (when existing).
546 * src/gdcmDict::GetTag bug fix.
548 2002-10-31 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
549 * Straightforward temporary fixes for swig to build the python wrappers.
550 src/Makefile now has a python working entry [by working we mean
551 that we can import de shadow classes without errors].
553 2002-10-29 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
554 * hashtest.cxx removed (since allready in Test)
555 * src/gdcmlib.h renamed to src/gdcm.h
556 * src/dcm.i renamed to src/gdcm.i
557 * src/Makefile prepared for python wrapping
559 2002-10-29 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
560 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx :
561 - Parsing of header is now separated from loading of element values
562 (see gdcmHeader::LoadElements).
563 - general clean up of hopefully all file access (creation of
564 ReadInt16 and ReadInt32)
566 2002-10-22 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
567 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx :
568 - RecupLgr renamed to FindLength and cut off with new IsAnInteger
570 - SetLgrElem renamed to SetLength
571 - GetLgrElem renamed to GetLength
572 - ~gdcmHeader() made virtual to pesky warning messages at compile.
573 * src/gdcmElValSet.cxx fixed both GetElValue methods
574 * Dicts/dicomV3.dic falacious entry [7fe0 0010 OT PXL Pixel Data]
575 due to IdoDude was cleaned out.
577 2002-10-21 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
578 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx RecupLgr split in FindVR and RecupLgr. FindVR
579 concentrates on finding the value representation (when it exists).
580 RecupLgr now only finds the element value length, and it avoids
581 returning the unecessary skL (skipped length).
582 Also, offsetCourant was simply removed (with taille_fich) since
583 it was redundant with the File position internals (by using
584 ftell and fseek). This also made skL (see above in RecupLgr) usage
586 * src/gdcmHeaderIdo.cxx src/gdcmIdo.h added. Those files concentrate
587 on the libido specificities which are handled through class
589 * Test/implicit_vr.dcm dicom v3 in implicit value representation
592 2002-10-17 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
593 * Truckload of changes. Parsing of header is barely functional
594 (see Test/test) with the standard dictionary (see Dicts/dicomV3.dic).
596 2002-10-10 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
597 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx many addons of low level methods
599 2002-10-07 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
600 * src/gdcmHeader now contains_IdDcmCheckSwap, _IdDcmRecupLgr,
603 2002-09-12 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
604 * This corresponds to all the changes decided at the meeting of
605 May 23 2002. Needless to say we are running late...
