2 * WrapVTK.py : modifications to get correctly vtk source files to
5 2003-06-11 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
6 * vtk/vtkGdcmReader.[cxx/h]:
7 - UpdateProgress method should now be effective
8 - removed the limitation on having only images loaded (as opposed
10 - when building a stack of images/volume, a lesser number of
11 gdcmHeader and gdcmFile instances should be used (hopefully
13 - when building a stack of images/volumes, files which are not
14 loadable (wrong path-filename, wrong permissions on existing file,
15 or file not parsable by gdcm) are replaced with a black image
16 in the stack (for the caller to notice the problem).
18 2003-06-03 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
19 * vtk/vtkGdcmReader.cxx: hopefully corrected Z extent.
21 2003-06-02 Benoit Regrain <Benoit.Regrain@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
22 * vtk/vtkGdcmReader[cxx|h] : makes correct code to remove conflicts
23 between standard library (std) and vtk library (problems are found
24 under Windows... thanks Windows !)
26 2003-05-30 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
27 * vtk/vtkGdcmReader[cxx|h] should now be volume aware (read ready for
29 * gdcmPython/demo/vtkGdcmReader.py: commented lines for volume test
31 2003-05-29 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
32 * vtk/vtkGdcmReader[cxx|h] preparation addons for loading volumes.
34 2003-05-28 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
35 * When compiling with distutils (see setup.py) the C++ compiler is
36 called with different flags than the default ones (with automake).
37 In order to fix all those warning, I compiled gdcm with the command
38 make 'CXXFLAGS=-Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -D__STDC_LIMIT_MACROS'
39 and went for warning fixes:
40 - src/gdcmHeader.cxx, Test/dcm2acr.cxx, pourFindTaggs.cxx cleaned
41 up from unused variables.
42 - vtk/vtkGdcmReader.cxx: potential bug fix.
43 * src/gdcmHeader.h: Doxygen warning cleanup
45 2003-05-27 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
47 - typemaps correction to take into account the systematic replacement
48 of "using namespace std" with std:: prefix e.g. std::list,
49 std::string... (cf changes of 2003-05-21).
50 - gdcmGlob global variable of type gdcmGlobal (defined in
51 src/gdcmUtil.cxx and declared in gdcmPython/gdcm.i) is now
52 exported to Python a as cvar.
53 * gdcmPython/__init__.py now defines two functions GetPubDictTagNames()
54 and GetPubDictTagNamesByCategory() as a replacement for deprecated
55 gdcmDictSet.GetPubDictTagNames() and
56 gdcmDictSet.GetPubDictTagNamesByCategory() class functions (i.e.
58 * gdcmPython/demo/printGroupedPublicDict.py is operational again,
59 with the above changes.
61 2003-05-22 Benoit Regrain <Benoit.Regrain@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
62 * setup.py, manifest.in : bug fix under linux
64 2003-05-22 Benoit Regrain <Benoit.Regrain@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
65 * Modification of setup.py to compile vtk part too. Then, we have 2
66 wrappers which must work with same distutils. For that, we have a
67 generic distutils in distusiltsWrapping.py ; with :
68 - build_extWrap class to wrap generically all extensions,
69 - ExtensionWrap base class for all wrapping extension that contains
71 - Wrapper interface which wrap sources
72 + In WrapSwig.py we have extension and wrapper for Swig
73 + In WrapVTK.py we have extension and wrapper for VTK
74 * MANIFEST.in : modifications to consider vtk directory and new python
77 2003-05-21 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with Benoit Regrain
78 * Added python wrappers of vtkGdcmReader vtk class (see the
79 source in vtk/vtkGdcmReader.cxx) :
80 - vtk/Makefile.am now builds a library
81 - gdcmPython/Makefile.am now builds vtkgdcmPython a second import
82 python library (as opposed to _gdcm.so wich are the python
83 wrappers of gdcm). vtkgdcmPython.so uses the vtk python wrappers
84 (vtkWrapPython and vtkWrapPythonInit utility) to build vtkgdcmPython
86 - configure.in has an additional flag --enable-vtk that needs
87 to be set to enable compilation of vtk related code, that is:
88 + vtk/vtkGdcmReader.so and
89 + vtk/testvtkGdcmReader C++ demo of vtk wrappers of gdcm)
90 + gdcmPython/vtkgdcmPython.so (see above)
91 - gdcmPython/demo/vtkGdcmDemo.py corrected (some images cannot
92 be read when compressed or when HighBit + 1 != BitsStored),
93 - gdcmPython/demo/vtkGdcmReader.py added. This demo illustrates
94 the usage of the python wrapper of vtkGdcmReader vtk class.
95 * vtk/vtkGdcmReader.cxx: bug fixed (thanks to Benoit Regrain).
96 * src/*.[h] all occurences of stl classes are now prefixed with
97 std::, and all occurences of "using namespace std;" where removed.
98 This is to avoid pollution of global namespace in included files.
99 Apparently vtk does not avoid this pitfall: when using both
100 gdcm and vtk (as in vtk/vtkGdcmReader.cxx) this ended up in a
101 collision of various stl members (principally cout...).
102 * gdcmPython/testSuite.py now cleanly removes temprory generated
104 * gdcmPython/gdcm.i now declares a typemap for std::string (to
105 comply with above changes)
107 2003-05-12 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
108 * src/gdcmHeader>[h/cxx] added gdcmHeader::GetPixelSize()
109 * vtk/vtkGdcmReader.cxx now properly inports the image in the
110 vtk data structure (an image Flip was required).
111 * vtk/testvtkGdcmReader.cxx refers to gdcmData subdir instead of Data.
112 * cosmetic changes in documentation.
114 2003-05-7 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
115 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx: the constructor no longer exits when an
116 unexisting file is given as argument.
117 * The subdirectory Data (containing all the images used for the
118 test suite) is not part of this repository anymore. A new module
119 containing those images is now available at
120 :pserver:xxx@cvs.creatis.insa-lyon.fr:2402/cvs/public
121 with the name gdcmData.
122 All the python scripts (including the package initialisation file
123 gdcmPython/__init__.py) were adapated to take this change into
124 account (basically GDCM_DATA_PATH is now GDCM_TEST_DATA_PATH).
126 2003-05-5 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
127 * vtk subdir added. Contains vtkGdcmReader.[cxx|h] a vtk class
128 inherinting from vtkImageReader and testvtkGdcmReader.cxx a small
129 demo of the usage of this class.
130 Compilation of this vtk part is only done when using the --enable-vtk
131 at configure (or autogen.sh) stage.
133 2003-04-16 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
134 * More memmory link related corrections and documentation fixes.
136 - maximum info is obtained with a command of the form:
137 valgrind --leak-check=yes --leak-resolution=high --num-callers=40
138 --show-reachable=yes PrintHeader
139 - the remaining reachable blocks seem to come from the STL
140 allocation scheme through the usage of map and list. It looks
141 like this memory cannot be freed but it is not a memory leak
142 (in fact further invocation to the STL would recollect the
143 unused memory allthough it cannot explicitely be freed).
144 * gdcmPython/demo/vtkGdcmDemo.py added: this is a small demo
145 of displaying an image parsed with gdcm and displayed with VTK.
146 Note: some images don't seem to work e.g.
147 python vtkGdcmDemo.py ../../Data/US-RGB-8-esopecho.dcm
148 * src/gdcmHeader.x: dicom_vr and Dicts are not class members anymore.
149 Allthough this weakens the semantics, it is a ditch attempt to
150 make gdcm more thread friendly.
152 2003-04-15 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
153 * Memory link hunt (by using valgrind through the command
154 valgrind --show-reachable=yes --leak-check=yes PrintHeader).
155 - added src/gdcmVR.cxx gdcmVR.h that objectify the previous
156 gdcmHeader::_dicom_vr.
157 - gdcmHeader::InitVRDict transfered as gdcmVR::gdcmVR().
158 - gdcmHeader::dicom_vr is now of type gdcmVR* as opposed to
160 - gdcmGlobal global object contained class added (see src/gdcmUtil.x)
162 2003-04-9 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
163 * src/Makefile.am now exports all the necessary include files at
167 * UpdateGroupLength replaced by new one
170 * UpdateGroupLength re-written using H-Table
171 (named UpdateGroupLengthNew untill checks are over)
173 2003-04-7 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
174 * Data/im_00001 renamed to gdcm-MR-PHILIPS-16-Multi-Seq.dcm
175 * gdcmPython/testSuite.py now include a test of gdcmFile::Write.
177 - gdcmHeader::GetPubElValSet removed.
178 - gdcmElValSet::WriteDcm, WriteAcr, WriteExplVR, revamped to
179 UpdateGroupLength, WriteElements, Write.
180 - gdcmHeader::FileType moved to gdcmCommon.h. The enum FileType
181 doesn't contain TrueDicom anymore since ExplicitVR and ImplicitVR
182 carried the same semantics.
183 - src/gdcmHeaderIdo.cxx changed accordingly.
184 - gdcmFile::WriteBase now regroups all the codes from previous
185 versions of WriteDcm, WriteDcmImplVR, and WriteACR.
186 - enum FileType moved to gdcmCommon.h
187 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx AddDefault trashed
189 * getimageDataSize now calls gdcmGetXSize
190 * Test/*.cxx changed to agree with above changes
192 2003-03-31 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
193 * src/gdcmHeader.h: LoadElements() is not a public method anymore
194 (to avoid double call by end user).
195 * Test/*.cxx LoadElements() doesn't need to be called explicitely
196 by end user, since gdcmHeader::gdcmHeader now handles it.
198 2003-03-29 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
199 * gdcm/Doc many doxygen changes:
200 - Doxyfile now has two different versions, DoxyfileUsers that generates
201 the html.users end users oriented documentation and
202 DoxyfileDeveloppers that generates the html.developper developper
203 oriented documentation.
204 - README changed accordingly
205 - requirement.txt removed (old design info moved to TODO).
206 - Additional files DoxyInstallation.txt, DoxyIntroduction.txt,
207 DoxyMainPage.txt, DoxyPython.txt provide more information.
208 - Note: the website http://www.creatis.insa-lyon.fr/Public/Gdcm/ can now
209 be updated by simply regenerating the docs with doxygen and copying
210 html.developper and html.users to tux:/home/httpd/html/Public/Gdcm
211 * src/gdcmElValSet.cxx: stl <map>.count() can only return 0 or 1. Hence
212 all the tests in the form "if (<map>.count() >1)" were removed.
213 * src/gdcmFile.cxx: cosmetic changes to avoid messages of doxygen about
214 ill-formed documentation sections.
215 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx: ditto
217 2003-03-27 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
218 * setup.py fixed for un*x (needed macro for stdint.h)
219 * Test/test.cxx renamed to PrintHeader.cxx to avoid collision on
220 un*ces with sh-utils test utility.
221 * gdcmPython/demo/test.py renamed to PrintHeader.py
222 * gdcmPython/demo/ReorganiseFiles.py new demo script added.
223 * gdcmPython/win32/gdcmpycomplet.dsp renamed to gdcmpyembedded.dsp.
224 * gdcmPython/win32/gdcmpy.dsp trashed away (brain damaged).
225 * src/gdcm*.cxx JPR's bad inclusion fixed.
227 2003-03-26 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
228 * src/gdcmHeader[h, cxx] gdcmHeader now has an IsReadable predicate.
229 * gdcmPython/demo/test.py changed accordingly.
231 2003-03-25 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
232 * gdcmPython/Makefile.am fixed linking against libstdc++
233 * gdcmPython/_gdcm.so symbolic link to gdcmPython/.libs/pygdcm.so added.
234 * Swig subdir (historical tests of swig version 1.3.17++) removed
235 * Test/testChangeEntete.cxx some lines commented out in order to make
237 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx cleaned up wild JPR's dirty kludge.
238 * src/gdcmElValSet.cxx cleaned up frog's forgotten debug message
240 2003-03-24 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
241 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx gdcmHeader::gdcmHeader now calls LoadElements(),
242 hence the user doesn't need this explicit call.
243 - gdcmPython/testSuite.py, gdcmPython/demo/*.py changed accordingly
244 i.e. LoadElements() call removed.
245 * src/gdcmCommon.h now defines UINT32_MAX (see stdint.h).
246 - src/Makefile.am declares the proper flag for g++.
247 * src/gdcmElValSet.h added gdcmElValSet::GenerateFreeTagKeyInGroup
248 for adding user defined new tags.
249 - src/gdcmHeader.cxx gdcmHeader::NewManualElValToPubDict added.
250 - src/gdcmHeader.cxx gdcmHeader::AddAndDefaultElements now
251 cleanly adds some gdcm added tags (like gdcmXSize, gdcmYSize...)
253 2003-03-17 Fabrice Bellet <Fabrice.Bellet@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
254 * Makefile.am, acinclude.m4, configure.in, python.m4, Dicts/Makefile.am,
255 Doc/Makefile.am, Test/Makefile.am, gdcmPython/Makefile.am,
256 src/Makefile.am : the project should properly compile and install
257 with the autotools, included the python wrappers part.
258 * gdcm.spec.in : added a spec file for RPM packaging.
260 2003-03-14 Benoit Regrain <Benoit.Regrain@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
261 * src/gdcmUtils.cxx : redifinition of defaults parameters in code
263 2003-03-12 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
264 * gdcmPython/__init__.py fix of GDCM_DICT_PATH which was not
265 to exported to the environement (see gdcmPython/testSuite.py
267 * src/gdcmElValSet.[cxx/h], gdcmElValue.[cxx/h], gdcmFile.[cxx/h],
268 gdcmHeader.[cxx/h]: ElValSet class renamed to gdcmElValSet, and
269 ElValue class renamed to gdcmElValue for obvious consistency reasons.
270 * src/gdcmElValSet.cxx, src/gdcmUtil.[cxx-h] Tokenize utility function
271 moved away from gdcmElValSet.cxx to gdcmUtil.cxx.
273 2003-03-10 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
274 * gdcmPython/__init__.py doesn't crash anymore when running in
275 in InstallMode or PreInstallMode but with an environement given
276 value of GDCM_DICT_PATH.
277 * src/gdcmDictSet.[cxx/h] coding style.
279 2003-03-06 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
280 * src/gdcmHeader.h and gdcmHeader.cxx Coding style + doxigenation.
281 * src/gdcm.h general comments moved to TODO, and README
282 * src/gdcm.h should now be seen as a user commodity (including it
283 should suffice to fully use gdcm). It is nowhere including within
284 any of the kernel files src/*.cxx and src/*.h.
286 2003-03-05 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
287 * src/gdcm.h splitted in gdcmCommon.h, gdcmDict.h, gdcmDictEntry.h,
288 gdcmDictSet.h, gdcmElValSet.h, gdcmElValue.h, gdcmFile.h,
290 * src/gdcm*.cxx only include their corresponding include file
291 (as opposed to gdcm.h)
292 * gdcmPython/gdcm.i changed accordingly
293 * Test/Makefile.am corrected and added NEWS, AUTHORS in order for
294 the autogen.sh generated "make snapshot" command to work.
295 * autogen.sh removed history related references to crea package.
297 2003-03-04 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
298 * distutilsSwigCPlusPlus.py work around some swig portability
301 2003-03-03 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
302 * Eventually, python/gdcmPython was renamed to gdcmPython. This
303 was done in a last ditch attempt to get setup.py _really_
304 operationnal. The python/gdcmPython layaout add the advantage
305 of hidding away the python related distutils specific files
306 (MANIFEST.in, setup.py, distutils*.py...) from the main directory.
307 Alas, the src directory was out of scope (i.e. it's relative
308 position to setup.py was ../src) which made things impossible to
309 handle (see previous version of python/setup.py). Crossing fingers...
311 2003-02-20 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
312 * python/setup.py now works on Un*x. (harder than I thougth)
313 * python/distutilsSwigCPlusPlus.py can now have include files
314 among the list of sources.
316 2003-02-20 Benoit Regrain <Benoit.Regrain@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
317 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx : bug fix - opening dicom file in binary !!!
318 * modifications in MSVC projects
320 2003-02-19 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
321 * As stated by the first lines of Test/ExceptionAndPython/README, it
322 looks like we can move back to original usage of exception within
323 src/gdcm* and hence remove the errno stuff that was introduced
324 as a quick and dirty fixture of this problem (added to the TODO).
325 * Doc/Doxyfile configuration file for Doxygen and corresponding
326 README file for usage added.
327 * Test/testWrite.cxx added. This new test comes from a split of
328 test.cxx that is now reverted to its original purpous i.e.
329 testing the proper parsing of a Dicom related file.
330 testWrite.cxx concentrates on testing the IO part of gdcm.
331 * Test/bug1.cxx (containing a bug on WIn32) added.
332 * src/gdcm.h, gdcmHeader.cxx, gdcmDictSet.cxx:
333 - gdcmHeader::GetPubTagNames and gdcmHeader::GetPubTagNamesByCategory
334 whose purpose is to publish the content of the TagNames of the
335 Dicom public dictionnary were not accessible without an
336 instance of class gdcmHeader.
337 - those methods are now static methods of gdcmDictSet and hence
338 require no instances at all to be invocated.
339 - within gdcmDictSet this change required to change some method
340 to class methods (i.e. are now static) among which SetDictPath
341 (renamed to BuildDictPath) and LoadDefaultPubDict.
342 * python/gdcmPython/demo/printGroupedPublicDict.py changed to illustrate
343 the above changes by calling the new method classes of gdcmDictSet.
344 * python/gdcmPython/__init__.py now exposes gdcm.gdcmDictSet for
345 the above to be effective.
346 * python/gdcmPython: in order to wrap properly the above changes
347 for Python, swig version now needs to be > 1.3.17.
348 * python/gdcmPython/Makefile fixed to adapt itself to new
349 configure/make shema introduced by Johan Montagnat (thanks for the
350 contribution). Alas this Makefile cannot be turned into a proper
351 Makefile.am without some heavy changes in the configure.in
352 (for python dectection).
353 * python/gdcmPython/gdcm.i: the out typemap map<string, list<string>>*
354 now avoids publishing the empty entries.
356 2003-02-13 Benoit Regrain <Benoit.Regrain@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
357 * python/setup.py : bug fix concerning install under windows
359 * gdcm.dsw : bug fix concerning path for libraries for python !!!
361 2003-02-13 Benoit Regrain <Benoit.Regrain@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
362 * Dicts/dicomV3.dic : remove double spaces !!!
363 * src/gdcmElValSet.cxx : bug fix concerning windows compiler
364 * python/gdcmPython/win32/gdcmpycomplet.dsp : bug fix concerning paths
367 2003-01-28 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
368 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx added a post header parsing AddAndDefaultElements
369 method. Doxygenation.
370 * src/gdcm.h clean up of JPR spurious comments.
372 2003-01-17 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
373 * python/distutilsSwigCPlusPlus.py now properly collects the
374 shadow classes generated by "swig -c++" (gdcm.py in our case)
375 when using "python setup.py install".
376 * python/gdcmPython/__init__.py imports gdcm.py and only manually
377 reexports the working classes.
378 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx all the try/catch/throw calls were replaced
379 by the classical C errno scheme. This is to prevent an obscure
380 behavior of the python wrappers when importing wxPython.wx prior
381 to gdcmPython (which ended up in an abort call). An illustration
382 of this oddity can be found in the Test/ExceptionAndPython
383 subdir (see the README file). This problem probably due to
384 an combination of g++ and dynamic loading.
385 * added Test/ExceptionAndPython (see above)
387 2003-01-17 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
388 * Changed the layout of the python part to avoid bloating main
389 directory with setup.py, distutilsSwigCPlusPlus.py, MANIFEST.in
390 i.e. the distutils arsenal. All the python related stuff is
391 again in a python subdir, but the package itself is now in
393 * setup.py was cleaned up:
394 - pythonIncludePath removed
395 - python setup.py bdist target is now functional.
396 * gdcmPython/__init__.py doesn't export FileName any more (to avoid
397 collision with other packages). gdcmPython/demo/*.py changed
399 2003-01-15 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
400 * python subdir moved to gdcmPython (preparation of distutils packaging).
401 * gdcmPython/setup.py and distutilsSwigCPlusPlus.py added. The
402 distutils installer is operational.
403 * - gdcmPython/__init__.py now properly loads the swig generated
404 shadow classes (from gdcm.py).
405 - gdcmPython/demo/*.py changed to import the package gdcmPython
406 instead of gdcmPython/demo/load.py.
407 - gdcmPython/testSuite.py changed to import the package gdcmPython.
410 2002-12-16 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
411 * src/gdcm.h, src/gdcmHeader.cxx: added GetPubTagNames() resp.
412 GetPubTagNamesByCategory() to gdcmHeader that return a list of the
413 entries within the associated public Dicom dictionary resp. the same
414 information but sorted by the fourth field (PAT, IMG, DIR) of the
416 - Dicts/dicomV3.dic Entries which had and unspecified fourth field
417 are now in the "???" group.
418 - python/gdcm.i changed accordingly,
419 - python/demo/printGroupedPublicDict.py added, that gives an example
420 of the above new functionalities in Python.
422 2002-12-11 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
423 * src/gdcm.h, gdcmHeader.cxx:
424 - historic references to glib's g_malloc and g_free (#defined)
425 were definitively removed.
426 - gdcm.h: cosmetic changes (part of comments moved to Doc/requirements)
427 * src/gdcmElValSet.cxx:
428 - GetElement(guint32, guint32) renamed to GetElementByNumber.
429 - GetElValue(guint32, guint32) renamed to GetElValueByNumber.
430 - GetElValue(string) renamed to GetElValueByName.
431 - Added GetElementByName(string).
432 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx: added
433 - GetPubElValRepByNumber(guint16, guint16)
434 - GetPubElValRepByName(string)
435 - GetShaElValRepByNumber(guint16, guint16)

443 * Doc/requirements.txt added.
445 2002-12-9 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
446 * Test/Makefile building now depends on the one of libgdcm.so
447 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx and gdcm.h are now OB (undefined length encoded
448 pixel data) aware which enables finding the address (offset) of
449 the pixel data of JPEG encoded DICOM files. This leaves only a single
450 file in the testSuite whose pixel data address (offset) is unknown.
451 * python/testSuite.py changed accordingly.
453 2002-12-6 Christophe Odet + Hugues Benoit-Cattin + Eric.Boix
454 * VC++ has some strong limitations when working with the STL, as stated
455 in http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q168/9/58.ASP :
456 "Also note that some STL containers (map, set, queue, list, deque)
457 cannot be exported. [...]
458 Some STL classes contain nested classes. These classes can not
460 This is caused by a designed limitation that once a template
461 class is instantiated, it can not be re-instantiated and
463 Since our usage of map<> is ubiquitous in gdcm, this "designed
464 limitation" of VC++ is a pitfall.
465 Hence the Python wrappers of gdcm cannot be incrementally linked
466 against the c++ dynamic library. The dirty but only workaround is
467 to forget about incremental link of dynamic libraries and to generate
468 the Python wrappers library with the inclusions of the underlying C++
470 The following modifications concern this matter on Win32/VC++:
471 - wrapping python correct with standalone wrapped dll (don't use separate
472 dll under windows !!!!)
473 - python21_d debug mode enabled (ask Frog how to use it :-)
474 - NO problem with having an STL member of class for example string in C++
475 WITH THE RESTRICTION OF FORGETING ABOUT INCREMENTAL LINK.
476 - Python test of dcmlib in Python is ok under windows on a large set
478 * removed glib references
479 * typedef's inserted in gdcm.i for correct swig type management
481 2002-11-27 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
482 * python/demo/*.py load.py extracted from test.py. Added explore.py
483 that only displays required tags and testAll.py that parses all
484 the files of the testsuite without using unittest.
485 * python/testSuite.py other additional test on new files added.
486 * Data/* new test files added accordingly to the testSuite.
487 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx avoid overwriting of the dictionary when
488 the vr in the file differs from the one of the dictionary.
490 2002-11-20 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
491 * src/gdcm.h and gdcmHeader.cxx gdcm no longer loads all the elements
492 values, but limits itself to values which are below a user specified
493 size (by default 1024 bytes).
494 * python/gdcm.i : elements not loaded (because their size is above the
495 user specified treshold) are exported with their TagKey as key of the
496 python dictionary. This enables the testsuite to make some checks
497 on the unloaded elements (since we have their offset and size).
498 * python/testSuite.py
499 - now tests for the existence and proper value of the pixel data
500 - two new examples added.
501 * Data/gdcm-MR-SIEMENS-16.acr[12] added.
503 2002-11-18 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
504 * src/gdcm.h and gdcmHeader.cxx are now "Big Endian transfer syntax"
505 aware. See the strategy comments in gdcmHeader::FindeLength().
506 * Test/test.cxx now accepts a filename as first argument.
507 * Data/US-PAL-8-10x-echo.dcm and US-RGB-8-epicard.dcm added.
508 * python/testSuite.py changed to integrate test on above files.
510 2002-11-15 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
511 * Dicts/dicomV3.dic removed all the trailing (RET) when the
513 * python/testSuite.py more tests added.
515 2002-11-14 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
516 * python/testSuite.py unittest test suite added (uses Data)
517 * Data/* dcm and acr files for the test suite.
518 * glib dependance removed from un*x version. We now use ISO C99
519 7.18 Integer types (see stdint.h)
520 - python/Makefile, src/Makefile src/gdcm.h
521 * src/ when an explicit vr (like dicom files) suddenly poped an
522 implicit element we use to mark the underlying DictEntry of the
523 concerned ElValue with "Implicit". This strategy was damageable
524 too the public or provite dictionaries, since some of their vr
525 would be changed. Since Header::FindLength heavily relies on the
526 detection by Header::FindVR of falsely explicit elements, I
527 added an extra ImplicitVr member to ElValue (boolean).
528 The rest of the changes we the necessary adaptations.
530 2002-11-12 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
531 * src/gdcmHeader::FindLength bug fix when trapping falsely explicit
533 * src/gdcmHeader::FindVR: hard way fix of falsely explicit vr files.
535 2002-11-8 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
536 * Adaptation for porting to VC++:
538 o forced to use std namespace (for string to be known)
539 o all class use __declspec export style on WIN32
540 - src/gdcmUtil.cxx new Exit method that wraps the exit call
541 (in stdlib.h on Win32 but in std:: for gcc)
542 * src/gdcmDictSet::SetDictPath adds a trailing / to environement
543 variable GDCM_DICT_PATH.
544 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx verbose comments made discrete.
546 2002-11-7 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
547 * python/gdcm.i: added a typemap that converts a C++ hashing table
548 to native Python dictionary.
549 * python/demo/test.py:
550 - now uses the native dictionary for exploration of gdcmHeader.
551 - takes an optional filename argument (the file to parse).
552 * src/gdcm.h and gdcmHeader.cxx: gdcmHeader now has an accessor on
553 PubElVals hashing table.
554 * Dicts/dicomV3.dic removed error prone trailing spaces.
556 2002-11-6 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
557 * Python wrapping process moved away from src/Makefile to
558 newly created python/Makefile (as well as gdcm.i)
559 * python/demo/test.py (that mirrors Test/test.cxx) is effective.
560 * src/gdcmHeader::FindLength only looks for current vr when necessary.
561 * src/gdcmDictSet.cxx: the dictionnaries directory path is now imported
562 from the environement variable GDCM_DICT_PATH (when existing).
563 * src/gdcmDict::GetTag bug fix.
565 2002-10-31 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
566 * Straightforward temporary fixes for swig to build the python wrappers.
567 src/Makefile now has a python working entry [by working we mean
568 that we can import de shadow classes without errors].
570 2002-10-29 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
571 * hashtest.cxx removed (since allready in Test)
572 * src/gdcmlib.h renamed to src/gdcm.h
573 * src/dcm.i renamed to src/gdcm.i
574 * src/Makefile prepared for python wrapping
576 2002-10-29 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
577 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx :
578 - Parsing of header is now separated from loading of element values
579 (see gdcmHeader::LoadElements).
580 - general clean up of hopefully all file access (creation of
581 ReadInt16 and ReadInt32)
583 2002-10-22 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
584 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx :
585 - RecupLgr renamed to FindLength and cut off with new IsAnInteger
587 - SetLgrElem renamed to SetLength
588 - GetLgrElem renamed to GetLength
589 - ~gdcmHeader() made virtual to pesky warning messages at compile.
590 * src/gdcmElValSet.cxx fixed both GetElValue methods
591 * Dicts/dicomV3.dic falacious entry [7fe0 0010 OT PXL Pixel Data]
592 due to IdoDude was cleaned out.
594 2002-10-21 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
595 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx RecupLgr split in FindVR and RecupLgr. FindVR
596 concentrates on finding the value representation (when it exists).
597 RecupLgr now only finds the element value length, and it avoids
598 returning the unecessary skL (skipped length).
599 Also, offsetCourant was simply removed (with taille_fich) since
600 it was redundant with the File position internals (by using
601 ftell and fseek). This also made skL (see above in RecupLgr) usage
603 * src/gdcmHeaderIdo.cxx src/gdcmIdo.h added. Those files concentrate
604 on the libido specificities which are handled through class
606 * Test/implicit_vr.dcm dicom v3 in implicit value representation
609 2002-10-17 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
610 * Truckload of changes. Parsing of header is barely functional
611 (see Test/test) with the standard dictionary (see Dicts/dicomV3.dic).
613 2002-10-10 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
614 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx many addons of low level methods
616 2002-10-07 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
617 * src/gdcmHeader now contains_IdDcmCheckSwap, _IdDcmRecupLgr,
620 2002-09-12 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
621 * This corresponds to all the changes decided at the meeting of
622 May 23 2002. Needless to say we are running late...
