2 * vtk/vtkGdcmReader[cxx|h] preparation addons for loading volumes.
4 2003-05-28 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
5 * When compiling with distutils (see setup.py) the C++ compiler is
6 called with different flags than the default ones (with automake).
7 In order to fix all those warning, I compiled gdcm with the command
8 make 'CXXFLAGS=-Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -D__STDC_LIMIT_MACROS'
9 and went for warning fixes:
10 - src/gdcmHeader.cxx, Test/dcm2acr.cxx, pourFindTaggs.cxx cleaned
11 up from unused variables.
12 - vtk/vtkGdcmReader.cxx: potential bug fix.
13 * src/gdcmHeader.h: Doxygen warning cleanup
15 2003-05-27 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
17 - typemaps correction to take into account the systematic replacement
18 of "using namespace std" with std:: prefix e.g. std::list,
19 std::string... (cf changes of 2003-05-21).
20 - gdcmGlob global variable of type gdcmGlobal (defined in
21 src/gdcmUtil.cxx and declared in gdcmPython/gdcm.i) is now
22 exported to Python a as cvar.
23 * gdcmPython/__init__.py now defines two functions GetPubDictTagNames()
24 and GetPubDictTagNamesByCategory() as a replacement for deprecated
25 gdcmDictSet.GetPubDictTagNames() and
26 gdcmDictSet.GetPubDictTagNamesByCategory() class functions (i.e.
28 * gdcmPython/demo/printGroupedPublicDict.py is operational again,
29 with the above changes.
31 2003-05-22 Benoit Regrain <Benoit.Regrain@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
32 * setup.py, manifest.in : bug fix under linux
34 2003-05-22 Benoit Regrain <Benoit.Regrain@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
35 * Modification of setup.py to compile vtk part too. Then, we have 2
36 wrappers which must work with same distutils. For that, we have a
37 generic distutils in distusiltsWrapping.py ; with :
38 - build_extWrap class to wrap generically all extensions,
39 - ExtensionWrap base class for all wrapping extension that contains
41 - Wrapper interface which wrap sources
42 + In WrapSwig.py we have extension and wrapper for Swig
43 + In WrapVTK.py we have extension and wrapper for VTK
44 * MANIFEST.in : modifications to consider vtk directory and new python
47 2003-05-21 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with Benoit Regrain
48 * Added python wrappers of vtkGdcmReader vtk class (see the
49 source in vtk/vtkGdcmReader.cxx) :
50 - vtk/Makefile.am now builds a library
51 - gdcmPython/Makefile.am now builds vtkgdcmPython a second import
52 python library (as opposed to _gdcm.so wich are the python
53 wrappers of gdcm). vtkgdcmPython.so uses the vtk python wrappers
54 (vtkWrapPython and vtkWrapPythonInit utility) to build vtkgdcmPython
56 - configure.in has an additional flag --enable-vtk that needs
57 to be set to enable compilation of vtk related code, that is:
58 + vtk/vtkGdcmReader.so and
59 + vtk/testvtkGdcmReader C++ demo of vtk wrappers of gdcm)
60 + gdcmPython/vtkgdcmPython.so (see above)
61 - gdcmPython/demo/vtkGdcmDemo.py corrected (some images cannot
62 be read when compressed or when HighBit + 1 != BitsStored),
63 - gdcmPython/demo/vtkGdcmReader.py added. This demo illustrates
64 the usage of the python wrapper of vtkGdcmReader vtk class.
65 * vtk/vtkGdcmReader.cxx: bug fixed (thanks to Benoit Regrain).
66 * src/*.[h] all occurences of stl classes are now prefixed with
67 std::, and all occurences of "using namespace std;" where removed.
68 This is to avoid pollution of global namespace in included files.
69 Apparently vtk does not avoid this pitfall: when using both
70 gdcm and vtk (as in vtk/vtkGdcmReader.cxx) this ended up in a
71 collision of various stl members (principally cout...).
72 * gdcmPython/testSuite.py now cleanly removes temprory generated
74 * gdcmPython/gdcm.i now declares a typemap for std::string (to
75 comply with above changes)
77 2003-05-12 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
78 * src/gdcmHeader>[h/cxx] added gdcmHeader::GetPixelSize()
79 * vtk/vtkGdcmReader.cxx now properly inports the image in the
80 vtk data structure (an image Flip was required).
81 * vtk/testvtkGdcmReader.cxx refers to gdcmData subdir instead of Data.
82 * cosmetic changes in documentation.
84 2003-05-7 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
85 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx: the constructor no longer exits when an
86 unexisting file is given as argument.
87 * The subdirectory Data (containing all the images used for the
88 test suite) is not part of this repository anymore. A new module
89 containing those images is now available at
90 :pserver:xxx@cvs.creatis.insa-lyon.fr:2402/cvs/public
91 with the name gdcmData.
92 All the python scripts (including the package initialisation file
93 gdcmPython/__init__.py) were adapated to take this change into
94 account (basically GDCM_DATA_PATH is now GDCM_TEST_DATA_PATH).
96 2003-05-5 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
97 * vtk subdir added. Contains vtkGdcmReader.[cxx|h] a vtk class
98 inherinting from vtkImageReader and testvtkGdcmReader.cxx a small
99 demo of the usage of this class.
100 Compilation of this vtk part is only done when using the --enable-vtk
101 at configure (or autogen.sh) stage.
103 2003-04-16 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
104 * More memmory link related corrections and documentation fixes.
106 - maximum info is obtained with a command of the form:
107 valgrind --leak-check=yes --leak-resolution=high --num-callers=40
108 --show-reachable=yes PrintHeader
109 - the remaining reachable blocks seem to come from the STL
110 allocation scheme through the usage of map and list. It looks
111 like this memory cannot be freed but it is not a memory leak
112 (in fact further invocation to the STL would recollect the
113 unused memory allthough it cannot explicitely be freed).
114 * gdcmPython/demo/vtkGdcmDemo.py added: this is a small demo
115 of displaying an image parsed with gdcm and displayed with VTK.
116 Note: some images don't seem to work e.g.
117 python vtkGdcmDemo.py ../../Data/US-RGB-8-esopecho.dcm
118 * src/gdcmHeader.x: dicom_vr and Dicts are not class members anymore.
119 Allthough this weakens the semantics, it is a ditch attempt to
120 make gdcm more thread friendly.
122 2003-04-15 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
123 * Memory link hunt (by using valgrind through the command
124 valgrind --show-reachable=yes --leak-check=yes PrintHeader).
125 - added src/gdcmVR.cxx gdcmVR.h that objectify the previous
126 gdcmHeader::_dicom_vr.
127 - gdcmHeader::InitVRDict transfered as gdcmVR::gdcmVR().
128 - gdcmHeader::dicom_vr is now of type gdcmVR* as opposed to
130 - gdcmGlobal global object contained class added (see src/gdcmUtil.x)
132 2003-04-9 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
133 * src/Makefile.am now exports all the necessary include files at
137 * UpdateGroupLength replaced by new one
140 * UpdateGroupLength re-written using H-Table
141 (named UpdateGroupLengthNew untill checks are over)
143 2003-04-7 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
144 * Data/im_00001 renamed to gdcm-MR-PHILIPS-16-Multi-Seq.dcm
145 * gdcmPython/testSuite.py now include a test of gdcmFile::Write.
147 - gdcmHeader::GetPubElValSet removed.
148 - gdcmElValSet::WriteDcm, WriteAcr, WriteExplVR, revamped to
149 UpdateGroupLength, WriteElements, Write.
150 - gdcmHeader::FileType moved to gdcmCommon.h. The enum FileType
151 doesn't contain TrueDicom anymore since ExplicitVR and ImplicitVR
152 carried the same semantics.
153 - src/gdcmHeaderIdo.cxx changed accordingly.
154 - gdcmFile::WriteBase now regroups all the codes from previous
155 versions of WriteDcm, WriteDcmImplVR, and WriteACR.
156 - enum FileType moved to gdcmCommon.h
157 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx AddDefault trashed
159 * getimageDataSize now calls gdcmGetXSize
160 * Test/*.cxx changed to agree with above changes
162 2003-03-31 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
163 * src/gdcmHeader.h: LoadElements() is not a public method anymore
164 (to avoid double call by end user).
165 * Test/*.cxx LoadElements() doesn't need to be called explicitely
166 by end user, since gdcmHeader::gdcmHeader now handles it.
168 2003-03-29 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
169 * gdcm/Doc many doxygen changes:
170 - Doxyfile now has two different versions, DoxyfileUsers that generates
171 the html.users end users oriented documentation and
172 DoxyfileDeveloppers that generates the html.developper developper
173 oriented documentation.
174 - README changed accordingly
175 - requirement.txt removed (old design info moved to TODO).
176 - Additional files DoxyInstallation.txt, DoxyIntroduction.txt,
177 DoxyMainPage.txt, DoxyPython.txt provide more information.
178 - Note: the website http://www.creatis.insa-lyon.fr/Public/Gdcm/ can now
179 be updated by simply regenerating the docs with doxygen and copying
180 html.developper and html.users to tux:/home/httpd/html/Public/Gdcm
181 * src/gdcmElValSet.cxx: stl <map>.count() can only return 0 or 1. Hence
182 all the tests in the form "if (<map>.count() >1)" were removed.
183 * src/gdcmFile.cxx: cosmetic changes to avoid messages of doxygen about
184 ill-formed documentation sections.
185 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx: ditto
187 2003-03-27 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
188 * setup.py fixed for un*x (needed macro for stdint.h)
189 * Test/test.cxx renamed to PrintHeader.cxx to avoid collision on
190 un*ces with sh-utils test utility.
191 * gdcmPython/demo/test.py renamed to PrintHeader.py
192 * gdcmPython/demo/ReorganiseFiles.py new demo script added.
193 * gdcmPython/win32/gdcmpycomplet.dsp renamed to gdcmpyembedded.dsp.
194 * gdcmPython/win32/gdcmpy.dsp trashed away (brain damaged).
195 * src/gdcm*.cxx JPR's bad inclusion fixed.
197 2003-03-26 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
198 * src/gdcmHeader[h, cxx] gdcmHeader now has an IsReadable predicate.
199 * gdcmPython/demo/test.py changed accordingly.
201 2003-03-25 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
202 * gdcmPython/Makefile.am fixed linking against libstdc++
203 * gdcmPython/_gdcm.so symbolic link to gdcmPython/.libs/pygdcm.so added.
204 * Swig subdir (historical tests of swig version 1.3.17++) removed
205 * Test/testChangeEntete.cxx some lines commented out in order to make
207 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx cleaned up wild JPR's dirty kludge.
208 * src/gdcmElValSet.cxx cleaned up frog's forgotten debug message
210 2003-03-24 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
211 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx gdcmHeader::gdcmHeader now calls LoadElements(),
212 hence the user doesn't need this explicit call.
213 - gdcmPython/testSuite.py, gdcmPython/demo/*.py changed accordingly
214 i.e. LoadElements() call removed.
215 * src/gdcmCommon.h now defines UINT32_MAX (see stdint.h).
216 - src/Makefile.am declares the proper flag for g++.
217 * src/gdcmElValSet.h added gdcmElValSet::GenerateFreeTagKeyInGroup
218 for adding user defined new tags.
219 - src/gdcmHeader.cxx gdcmHeader::NewManualElValToPubDict added.
220 - src/gdcmHeader.cxx gdcmHeader::AddAndDefaultElements now
221 cleanly adds some gdcm added tags (like gdcmXSize, gdcmYSize...)
223 2003-03-17 Fabrice Bellet <Fabrice.Bellet@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
224 * Makefile.am, acinclude.m4, configure.in, python.m4, Dicts/Makefile.am,
225 Doc/Makefile.am, Test/Makefile.am, gdcmPython/Makefile.am,
226 src/Makefile.am : the project should properly compile and install
227 with the autotools, included the python wrappers part.
228 * gdcm.spec.in : added a spec file for RPM packaging.
230 2003-03-14 Benoit Regrain <Benoit.Regrain@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
231 * src/gdcmUtils.cxx : redifinition of defaults parameters in code
233 2003-03-12 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
234 * gdcmPython/__init__.py fix of GDCM_DICT_PATH which was not
235 to exported to the environement (see gdcmPython/testSuite.py
237 * src/gdcmElValSet.[cxx/h], gdcmElValue.[cxx/h], gdcmFile.[cxx/h],
238 gdcmHeader.[cxx/h]: ElValSet class renamed to gdcmElValSet, and
239 ElValue class renamed to gdcmElValue for obvious consistency reasons.
240 * src/gdcmElValSet.cxx, src/gdcmUtil.[cxx-h] Tokenize utility function
241 moved away from gdcmElValSet.cxx to gdcmUtil.cxx.
243 2003-03-10 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
244 * gdcmPython/__init__.py doesn't crash anymore when running in
245 in InstallMode or PreInstallMode but with an environement given
246 value of GDCM_DICT_PATH.
247 * src/gdcmDictSet.[cxx/h] coding style.
249 2003-03-06 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
250 * src/gdcmHeader.h and gdcmHeader.cxx Coding style + doxigenation.
251 * src/gdcm.h general comments moved to TODO, and README
252 * src/gdcm.h should now be seen as a user commodity (including it
253 should suffice to fully use gdcm). It is nowhere including within
254 any of the kernel files src/*.cxx and src/*.h.
256 2003-03-05 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
257 * src/gdcm.h splitted in gdcmCommon.h, gdcmDict.h, gdcmDictEntry.h,
258 gdcmDictSet.h, gdcmElValSet.h, gdcmElValue.h, gdcmFile.h,
260 * src/gdcm*.cxx only include their corresponding include file
261 (as opposed to gdcm.h)
262 * gdcmPython/gdcm.i changed accordingly
263 * Test/Makefile.am corrected and added NEWS, AUTHORS in order for
264 the autogen.sh generated "make snapshot" command to work.
265 * autogen.sh removed history related references to crea package.
267 2003-03-04 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
268 * distutilsSwigCPlusPlus.py work around some swig portability
271 2003-03-03 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
272 * Eventually, python/gdcmPython was renamed to gdcmPython. This
273 was done in a last ditch attempt to get setup.py _really_
274 operationnal. The python/gdcmPython layaout add the advantage
275 of hidding away the python related distutils specific files
276 (MANIFEST.in, setup.py, distutils*.py...) from the main directory.
277 Alas, the src directory was out of scope (i.e. it's relative
278 position to setup.py was ../src) which made things impossible to
279 handle (see previous version of python/setup.py). Crossing fingers...
281 2003-02-20 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
282 * python/setup.py now works on Un*x. (harder than I thougth)
283 * python/distutilsSwigCPlusPlus.py can now have include files
284 among the list of sources.
286 2003-02-20 Benoit Regrain <Benoit.Regrain@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
287 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx : bug fix - opening dicom file in binary !!!
288 * modifications in MSVC projects
290 2003-02-19 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
291 * As stated by the first lines of Test/ExceptionAndPython/README, it
292 looks like we can move back to original usage of exception within
293 src/gdcm* and hence remove the errno stuff that was introduced
294 as a quick and dirty fixture of this problem (added to the TODO).
295 * Doc/Doxyfile configuration file for Doxygen and corresponding
296 README file for usage added.
297 * Test/testWrite.cxx added. This new test comes from a split of
298 test.cxx that is now reverted to its original purpous i.e.
299 testing the proper parsing of a Dicom related file.
300 testWrite.cxx concentrates on testing the IO part of gdcm.
301 * Test/bug1.cxx (containing a bug on WIn32) added.
302 * src/gdcm.h, gdcmHeader.cxx, gdcmDictSet.cxx:
303 - gdcmHeader::GetPubTagNames and gdcmHeader::GetPubTagNamesByCategory
304 whose purpose is to publish the content of the TagNames of the
305 Dicom public dictionnary were not accessible without an
306 instance of class gdcmHeader.
307 - those methods are now static methods of gdcmDictSet and hence
308 require no instances at all to be invocated.
309 - within gdcmDictSet this change required to change some method
310 to class methods (i.e. are now static) among which SetDictPath
311 (renamed to BuildDictPath) and LoadDefaultPubDict.
312 * python/gdcmPython/demo/printGroupedPublicDict.py changed to illustrate
313 the above changes by calling the new method classes of gdcmDictSet.
314 * python/gdcmPython/__init__.py now exposes gdcm.gdcmDictSet for
315 the above to be effective.
316 * python/gdcmPython: in order to wrap properly the above changes
317 for Python, swig version now needs to be > 1.3.17.
318 * python/gdcmPython/Makefile fixed to adapt itself to new
319 configure/make shema introduced by Johan Montagnat (thanks for the
320 contribution). Alas this Makefile cannot be turned into a proper
321 Makefile.am without some heavy changes in the configure.in
322 (for python dectection).
323 * python/gdcmPython/gdcm.i: the out typemap map<string, list<string>>*
324 now avoids publishing the empty entries.
326 2003-02-13 Benoit Regrain <Benoit.Regrain@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
327 * python/setup.py : bug fix concerning install under windows
329 * gdcm.dsw : bug fix concerning path for libraries for python !!!
331 2003-02-13 Benoit Regrain <Benoit.Regrain@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
332 * Dicts/dicomV3.dic : remove double spaces !!!
333 * src/gdcmElValSet.cxx : bug fix concerning windows compiler
334 * python/gdcmPython/win32/gdcmpycomplet.dsp : bug fix concerning paths
337 2003-01-28 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
338 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx added a post header parsing AddAndDefaultElements
339 method. Doxygenation.
340 * src/gdcm.h clean up of JPR spurious comments.
342 2003-01-17 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
343 * python/distutilsSwigCPlusPlus.py now properly collects the
344 shadow classes generated by "swig -c++" (gdcm.py in our case)
345 when using "python setup.py install".
346 * python/gdcmPython/__init__.py imports gdcm.py and only manually
347 reexports the working classes.
348 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx all the try/catch/throw calls were replaced
349 by the classical C errno scheme. This is to prevent an obscure
350 behavior of the python wrappers when importing wxPython.wx prior
351 to gdcmPython (which ended up in an abort call). An illustration
352 of this oddity can be found in the Test/ExceptionAndPython
353 subdir (see the README file). This problem probably due to
354 an combination of g++ and dynamic loading.
355 * added Test/ExceptionAndPython (see above)
357 2003-01-17 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
358 * Changed the layout of the python part to avoid bloating main
359 directory with setup.py, distutilsSwigCPlusPlus.py, MANIFEST.in
360 i.e. the distutils arsenal. All the python related stuff is
361 again in a python subdir, but the package itself is now in
363 * setup.py was cleaned up:
364 - pythonIncludePath removed
365 - python setup.py bdist target is now functional.
366 * gdcmPython/__init__.py doesn't export FileName any more (to avoid
367 collision with other packages). gdcmPython/demo/*.py changed
369 2003-01-15 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
370 * python subdir moved to gdcmPython (preparation of distutils packaging).
371 * gdcmPython/setup.py and distutilsSwigCPlusPlus.py added. The
372 distutils installer is operational.
373 * - gdcmPython/__init__.py now properly loads the swig generated
374 shadow classes (from gdcm.py).
375 - gdcmPython/demo/*.py changed to import the package gdcmPython
376 instead of gdcmPython/demo/load.py.
377 - gdcmPython/testSuite.py changed to import the package gdcmPython.
380 2002-12-16 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
381 * src/gdcm.h, src/gdcmHeader.cxx: added GetPubTagNames() resp.
382 GetPubTagNamesByCategory() to gdcmHeader that return a list of the
383 entries within the associated public Dicom dictionary resp. the same
384 information but sorted by the fourth field (PAT, IMG, DIR) of the
386 - Dicts/dicomV3.dic Entries which had and unspecified fourth field
387 are now in the "???" group.
388 - python/gdcm.i changed accordingly,
389 - python/demo/printGroupedPublicDict.py added, that gives an example
390 of the above new functionalities in Python.
392 2002-12-11 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
393 * src/gdcm.h, gdcmHeader.cxx:
394 - historic references to glib's g_malloc and g_free (#defined)
395 were definitively removed.
396 - gdcm.h: cosmetic changes (part of comments moved to Doc/requirements)
397 * src/gdcmElValSet.cxx:
398 - GetElement(guint32, guint32) renamed to GetElementByNumber.
399 - GetElValue(guint32, guint32) renamed to GetElValueByNumber.
400 - GetElValue(string) renamed to GetElValueByName.
401 - Added GetElementByName(string).
402 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx: added
403 - GetPubElValRepByNumber(guint16, guint16)
404 - GetPubElValRepByName(string)
405 - GetShaElValRepByNumber(guint16, guint16)
406 - GetShaElValRepByName(string)
407 - GetShaElValByNumber(guint16, guint16)
408 - GetShaElValRepByName(string)
409 - GetElValRepByNumber(guint16, guint16)
410 - GetElValRepByName(string)
411 - GetElValByNumber(guint16, guint16)
412 - GetElValRepByName(string)
413 * Doc/requirements.txt added.
415 2002-12-9 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
416 * Test/Makefile building now depends on the one of libgdcm.so
417 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx and gdcm.h are now OB (undefined length encoded
418 pixel data) aware which enables finding the address (offset) of
419 the pixel data of JPEG encoded DICOM files. This leaves only a single
420 file in the testSuite whose pixel data address (offset) is unknown.
421 * python/testSuite.py changed accordingly.
423 2002-12-6 Christophe Odet + Hugues Benoit-Cattin + Eric.Boix
424 * VC++ has some strong limitations when working with the STL, as stated
425 in http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q168/9/58.ASP :
426 "Also note that some STL containers (map, set, queue, list, deque)
427 cannot be exported. [...]
428 Some STL classes contain nested classes. These classes can not
430 This is caused by a designed limitation that once a template
431 class is instantiated, it can not be re-instantiated and
433 Since our usage of map<> is ubiquitous in gdcm, this "designed
434 limitation" of VC++ is a pitfall.
435 Hence the Python wrappers of gdcm cannot be incrementally linked
436 against the c++ dynamic library. The dirty but only workaround is
437 to forget about incremental link of dynamic libraries and to generate
438 the Python wrappers library with the inclusions of the underlying C++
440 The following modifications concern this matter on Win32/VC++:
441 - wrapping python correct with standalone wrapped dll (don't use separate
442 dll under windows !!!!)
443 - python21_d debug mode enabled (ask Frog how to use it :-)
444 - NO problem with having an STL member of class for example string in C++
445 WITH THE RESTRICTION OF FORGETING ABOUT INCREMENTAL LINK.
446 - Python test of dcmlib in Python is ok under windows on a large set
448 * removed glib references
449 * typedef's inserted in gdcm.i for correct swig type management
451 2002-11-27 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
452 * python/demo/*.py load.py extracted from test.py. Added explore.py
453 that only displays required tags and testAll.py that parses all
454 the files of the testsuite without using unittest.
455 * python/testSuite.py other additional test on new files added.
456 * Data/* new test files added accordingly to the testSuite.
457 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx avoid overwriting of the dictionary when
458 the vr in the file differs from the one of the dictionary.
460 2002-11-20 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
461 * src/gdcm.h and gdcmHeader.cxx gdcm no longer loads all the elements
462 values, but limits itself to values which are below a user specified
463 size (by default 1024 bytes).
464 * python/gdcm.i : elements not loaded (because their size is above the
465 user specified treshold) are exported with their TagKey as key of the
466 python dictionary. This enables the testsuite to make some checks
467 on the unloaded elements (since we have their offset and size).
468 * python/testSuite.py
469 - now tests for the existence and proper value of the pixel data
470 - two new examples added.
471 * Data/gdcm-MR-SIEMENS-16.acr[12] added.
473 2002-11-18 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
474 * src/gdcm.h and gdcmHeader.cxx are now "Big Endian transfer syntax"
475 aware. See the strategy comments in gdcmHeader::FindeLength().
476 * Test/test.cxx now accepts a filename as first argument.
477 * Data/US-PAL-8-10x-echo.dcm and US-RGB-8-epicard.dcm added.
478 * python/testSuite.py changed to integrate test on above files.
480 2002-11-15 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
481 * Dicts/dicomV3.dic removed all the trailing (RET) when the
483 * python/testSuite.py more tests added.
485 2002-11-14 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
486 * python/testSuite.py unittest test suite added (uses Data)
487 * Data/* dcm and acr files for the test suite.
488 * glib dependance removed from un*x version. We now use ISO C99
489 7.18 Integer types (see stdint.h)
490 - python/Makefile, src/Makefile src/gdcm.h
491 * src/ when an explicit vr (like dicom files) suddenly poped an
492 implicit element we use to mark the underlying DictEntry of the
493 concerned ElValue with "Implicit". This strategy was damageable
494 too the public or provite dictionaries, since some of their vr
495 would be changed. Since Header::FindLength heavily relies on the
496 detection by Header::FindVR of falsely explicit elements, I
497 added an extra ImplicitVr member to ElValue (boolean).
498 The rest of the changes we the necessary adaptations.
500 2002-11-12 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
501 * src/gdcmHeader::FindLength bug fix when trapping falsely explicit
503 * src/gdcmHeader::FindVR: hard way fix of falsely explicit vr files.
505 2002-11-8 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
506 * Adaptation for porting to VC++:
508 o forced to use std namespace (for string to be known)
509 o all class use __declspec export style on WIN32
510 - src/gdcmUtil.cxx new Exit method that wraps the exit call
511 (in stdlib.h on Win32 but in std:: for gcc)
512 * src/gdcmDictSet::SetDictPath adds a trailing / to environement
513 variable GDCM_DICT_PATH.
514 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx verbose comments made discrete.
516 2002-11-7 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
517 * python/gdcm.i: added a typemap that converts a C++ hashing table
518 to native Python dictionary.
519 * python/demo/test.py:
520 - now uses the native dictionary for exploration of gdcmHeader.
521 - takes an optional filename argument (the file to parse).
522 * src/gdcm.h and gdcmHeader.cxx: gdcmHeader now has an accessor on
523 PubElVals hashing table.
524 * Dicts/dicomV3.dic removed error prone trailing spaces.
526 2002-11-6 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
527 * Python wrapping process moved away from src/Makefile to
528 newly created python/Makefile (as well as gdcm.i)
529 * python/demo/test.py (that mirrors Test/test.cxx) is effective.
530 * src/gdcmHeader::FindLength only looks for current vr when necessary.
531 * src/gdcmDictSet.cxx: the dictionnaries directory path is now imported
532 from the environement variable GDCM_DICT_PATH (when existing).
533 * src/gdcmDict::GetTag bug fix.
535 2002-10-31 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
536 * Straightforward temporary fixes for swig to build the python wrappers.
537 src/Makefile now has a python working entry [by working we mean
538 that we can import de shadow classes without errors].
540 2002-10-29 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
541 * hashtest.cxx removed (since allready in Test)
542 * src/gdcmlib.h renamed to src/gdcm.h
543 * src/dcm.i renamed to src/gdcm.i
544 * src/Makefile prepared for python wrapping
546 2002-10-29 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
547 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx :
548 - Parsing of header is now separated from loading of element values
549 (see gdcmHeader::LoadElements).
550 - general clean up of hopefully all file access (creation of
551 ReadInt16 and ReadInt32)
553 2002-10-22 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
554 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx :
555 - RecupLgr renamed to FindLength and cut off with new IsAnInteger
557 - SetLgrElem renamed to SetLength
558 - GetLgrElem renamed to GetLength
559 - ~gdcmHeader() made virtual to pesky warning messages at compile.
560 * src/gdcmElValSet.cxx fixed both GetElValue methods
561 * Dicts/dicomV3.dic falacious entry [7fe0 0010 OT PXL Pixel Data]
562 due to IdoDude was cleaned out.
564 2002-10-21 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
565 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx RecupLgr split in FindVR and RecupLgr. FindVR
566 concentrates on finding the value representation (when it exists).
567 RecupLgr now only finds the element value length, and it avoids
568 returning the unecessary skL (skipped length).
569 Also, offsetCourant was simply removed (with taille_fich) since
570 it was redundant with the File position internals (by using
571 ftell and fseek). This also made skL (see above in RecupLgr) usage
573 * src/gdcmHeaderIdo.cxx src/gdcmIdo.h added. Those files concentrate
574 on the libido specificities which are handled through class
576 * Test/implicit_vr.dcm dicom v3 in implicit value representation
579 2002-10-17 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
580 * Truckload of changes. Parsing of header is barely functional
581 (see Test/test) with the standard dictionary (see Dicts/dicomV3.dic).
583 2002-10-10 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
584 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx many addons of low level methods
586 2002-10-07 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
587 * src/gdcmHeader now contains_IdDcmCheckSwap, _IdDcmRecupLgr,
590 2002-09-12 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
591 * This corresponds to all the changes decided at the meeting of
592 May 23 2002. Needless to say we are running late...
