2 * vtk/vtkGdcmReader[cxx|h] : makes correct code to remove conflicts
3 between standard library (std) and vtk library (problems are found
4 under Windows... thanks Windows !)
6 2003-05-30 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
7 * vtk/vtkGdcmReader[cxx|h] should now be volume aware (read ready for
9 * gdcmPython/demo/vtkGdcmReader.py: commented lines for volume test
11 2003-05-29 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
12 * vtk/vtkGdcmReader[cxx|h] preparation addons for loading volumes.
14 2003-05-28 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
15 * When compiling with distutils (see setup.py) the C++ compiler is
16 called with different flags than the default ones (with automake).
17 In order to fix all those warning, I compiled gdcm with the command
18 make 'CXXFLAGS=-Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -D__STDC_LIMIT_MACROS'
19 and went for warning fixes:
20 - src/gdcmHeader.cxx, Test/dcm2acr.cxx, pourFindTaggs.cxx cleaned
21 up from unused variables.
22 - vtk/vtkGdcmReader.cxx: potential bug fix.
23 * src/gdcmHeader.h: Doxygen warning cleanup
25 2003-05-27 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
27 - typemaps correction to take into account the systematic replacement
28 of "using namespace std" with std:: prefix e.g. std::list,
29 std::string... (cf changes of 2003-05-21).
30 - gdcmGlob global variable of type gdcmGlobal (defined in
31 src/gdcmUtil.cxx and declared in gdcmPython/gdcm.i) is now
32 exported to Python a as cvar.
33 * gdcmPython/__init__.py now defines two functions GetPubDictTagNames()
34 and GetPubDictTagNamesByCategory() as a replacement for deprecated
35 gdcmDictSet.GetPubDictTagNames() and
36 gdcmDictSet.GetPubDictTagNamesByCategory() class functions (i.e.
38 * gdcmPython/demo/printGroupedPublicDict.py is operational again,
39 with the above changes.
41 2003-05-22 Benoit Regrain <Benoit.Regrain@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
42 * setup.py, manifest.in : bug fix under linux
44 2003-05-22 Benoit Regrain <Benoit.Regrain@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
45 * Modification of setup.py to compile vtk part too. Then, we have 2
46 wrappers which must work with same distutils. For that, we have a
47 generic distutils in distusiltsWrapping.py ; with :
48 - build_extWrap class to wrap generically all extensions,
49 - ExtensionWrap base class for all wrapping extension that contains
51 - Wrapper interface which wrap sources
52 + In WrapSwig.py we have extension and wrapper for Swig
53 + In WrapVTK.py we have extension and wrapper for VTK
54 * MANIFEST.in : modifications to consider vtk directory and new python
57 2003-05-21 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with Benoit Regrain
58 * Added python wrappers of vtkGdcmReader vtk class (see the
59 source in vtk/vtkGdcmReader.cxx) :
60 - vtk/Makefile.am now builds a library
61 - gdcmPython/Makefile.am now builds vtkgdcmPython a second import
62 python library (as opposed to _gdcm.so wich are the python
63 wrappers of gdcm). vtkgdcmPython.so uses the vtk python wrappers
64 (vtkWrapPython and vtkWrapPythonInit utility) to build vtkgdcmPython
66 - configure.in has an additional flag --enable-vtk that needs
67 to be set to enable compilation of vtk related code, that is:
68 + vtk/vtkGdcmReader.so and
69 + vtk/testvtkGdcmReader C++ demo of vtk wrappers of gdcm)
70 + gdcmPython/vtkgdcmPython.so (see above)
71 - gdcmPython/demo/vtkGdcmDemo.py corrected (some images cannot
72 be read when compressed or when HighBit + 1 != BitsStored),
73 - gdcmPython/demo/vtkGdcmReader.py added. This demo illustrates
74 the usage of the python wrapper of vtkGdcmReader vtk class.
75 * vtk/vtkGdcmReader.cxx: bug fixed (thanks to Benoit Regrain).
76 * src/*.[h] all occurences of stl classes are now prefixed with
77 std::, and all occurences of "using namespace std;" where removed.
78 This is to avoid pollution of global namespace in included files.
79 Apparently vtk does not avoid this pitfall: when using both
80 gdcm and vtk (as in vtk/vtkGdcmReader.cxx) this ended up in a
81 collision of various stl members (principally cout...).
82 * gdcmPython/testSuite.py now cleanly removes temprory generated
84 * gdcmPython/gdcm.i now declares a typemap for std::string (to
85 comply with above changes)
87 2003-05-12 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
88 * src/gdcmHeader>[h/cxx] added gdcmHeader::GetPixelSize()
89 * vtk/vtkGdcmReader.cxx now properly inports the image in the
90 vtk data structure (an image Flip was required).
91 * vtk/testvtkGdcmReader.cxx refers to gdcmData subdir instead of Data.
92 * cosmetic changes in documentation.
94 2003-05-7 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
95 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx: the constructor no longer exits when an
96 unexisting file is given as argument.
97 * The subdirectory Data (containing all the images used for the
98 test suite) is not part of this repository anymore. A new module
99 containing those images is now available at
100 :pserver:xxx@cvs.creatis.insa-lyon.fr:2402/cvs/public
101 with the name gdcmData.
102 All the python scripts (including the package initialisation file
103 gdcmPython/__init__.py) were adapated to take this change into
104 account (basically GDCM_DATA_PATH is now GDCM_TEST_DATA_PATH).
106 2003-05-5 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
107 * vtk subdir added. Contains vtkGdcmReader.[cxx|h] a vtk class
108 inherinting from vtkImageReader and testvtkGdcmReader.cxx a small
109 demo of the usage of this class.
110 Compilation of this vtk part is only done when using the --enable-vtk
111 at configure (or autogen.sh) stage.
113 2003-04-16 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
114 * More memmory link related corrections and documentation fixes.
116 - maximum info is obtained with a command of the form:
117 valgrind --leak-check=yes --leak-resolution=high --num-callers=40
118 --show-reachable=yes PrintHeader
119 - the remaining reachable blocks seem to come from the STL
120 allocation scheme through the usage of map and list. It looks
121 like this memory cannot be freed but it is not a memory leak
122 (in fact further invocation to the STL would recollect the
123 unused memory allthough it cannot explicitely be freed).
124 * gdcmPython/demo/vtkGdcmDemo.py added: this is a small demo
125 of displaying an image parsed with gdcm and displayed with VTK.
126 Note: some images don't seem to work e.g.
127 python vtkGdcmDemo.py ../../Data/US-RGB-8-esopecho.dcm
128 * src/gdcmHeader.x: dicom_vr and Dicts are not class members anymore.
129 Allthough this weakens the semantics, it is a ditch attempt to
130 make gdcm more thread friendly.
132 2003-04-15 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
133 * Memory link hunt (by using valgrind through the command
134 valgrind --show-reachable=yes --leak-check=yes PrintHeader).
135 - added src/gdcmVR.cxx gdcmVR.h that objectify the previous
136 gdcmHeader::_dicom_vr.
137 - gdcmHeader::InitVRDict transfered as gdcmVR::gdcmVR().
138 - gdcmHeader::dicom_vr is now of type gdcmVR* as opposed to
140 - gdcmGlobal global object contained class added (see src/gdcmUtil.x)
142 2003-04-9 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
143 * src/Makefile.am now exports all the necessary include files at
147 * UpdateGroupLength replaced by new one
150 * UpdateGroupLength re-written using H-Table
151 (named UpdateGroupLengthNew untill checks are over)
153 2003-04-7 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
154 * Data/im_00001 renamed to gdcm-MR-PHILIPS-16-Multi-Seq.dcm
155 * gdcmPython/testSuite.py now include a test of gdcmFile::Write.
157 - gdcmHeader::GetPubElValSet removed.
158 - gdcmElValSet::WriteDcm, WriteAcr, WriteExplVR, revamped to
159 UpdateGroupLength, WriteElements, Write.
160 - gdcmHeader::FileType moved to gdcmCommon.h. The enum FileType
161 doesn't contain TrueDicom anymore since ExplicitVR and ImplicitVR
162 carried the same semantics.
163 - src/gdcmHeaderIdo.cxx changed accordingly.
164 - gdcmFile::WriteBase now regroups all the codes from previous
165 versions of WriteDcm, WriteDcmImplVR, and WriteACR.
166 - enum FileType moved to gdcmCommon.h
167 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx AddDefault trashed
169 * getimageDataSize now calls gdcmGetXSize
170 * Test/*.cxx changed to agree with above changes
172 2003-03-31 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
173 * src/gdcmHeader.h: LoadElements() is not a public method anymore
174 (to avoid double call by end user).
175 * Test/*.cxx LoadElements() doesn't need to be called explicitely
176 by end user, since gdcmHeader::gdcmHeader now handles it.
178 2003-03-29 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
179 * gdcm/Doc many doxygen changes:
180 - Doxyfile now has two different versions, DoxyfileUsers that generates
181 the html.users end users oriented documentation and
182 DoxyfileDeveloppers that generates the html.developper developper
183 oriented documentation.
184 - README changed accordingly
185 - requirement.txt removed (old design info moved to TODO).
186 - Additional files DoxyInstallation.txt, DoxyIntroduction.txt,
187 DoxyMainPage.txt, DoxyPython.txt provide more information.
188 - Note: the website http://www.creatis.insa-lyon.fr/Public/Gdcm/ can now
189 be updated by simply regenerating the docs with doxygen and copying
190 html.developper and html.users to tux:/home/httpd/html/Public/Gdcm
191 * src/gdcmElValSet.cxx: stl <map>.count() can only return 0 or 1. Hence
192 all the tests in the form "if (<map>.count() >1)" were removed.
193 * src/gdcmFile.cxx: cosmetic changes to avoid messages of doxygen about
194 ill-formed documentation sections.
195 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx: ditto
197 2003-03-27 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
198 * setup.py fixed for un*x (needed macro for stdint.h)
199 * Test/test.cxx renamed to PrintHeader.cxx to avoid collision on
200 un*ces with sh-utils test utility.
201 * gdcmPython/demo/test.py renamed to PrintHeader.py
202 * gdcmPython/demo/ReorganiseFiles.py new demo script added.
203 * gdcmPython/win32/gdcmpycomplet.dsp renamed to gdcmpyembedded.dsp.
204 * gdcmPython/win32/gdcmpy.dsp trashed away (brain damaged).
205 * src/gdcm*.cxx JPR's bad inclusion fixed.
207 2003-03-26 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
208 * src/gdcmHeader[h, cxx] gdcmHeader now has an IsReadable predicate.
209 * gdcmPython/demo/test.py changed accordingly.
211 2003-03-25 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
212 * gdcmPython/Makefile.am fixed linking against libstdc++
213 * gdcmPython/_gdcm.so symbolic link to gdcmPython/.libs/pygdcm.so added.
214 * Swig subdir (historical tests of swig version 1.3.17++) removed
215 * Test/testChangeEntete.cxx some lines commented out in order to make
217 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx cleaned up wild JPR's dirty kludge.
218 * src/gdcmElValSet.cxx cleaned up frog's forgotten debug message
220 2003-03-24 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
221 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx gdcmHeader::gdcmHeader now calls LoadElements(),
222 hence the user doesn't need this explicit call.
223 - gdcmPython/testSuite.py, gdcmPython/demo/*.py changed accordingly
224 i.e. LoadElements() call removed.
225 * src/gdcmCommon.h now defines UINT32_MAX (see stdint.h).
226 - src/Makefile.am declares the proper flag for g++.
227 * src/gdcmElValSet.h added gdcmElValSet::GenerateFreeTagKeyInGroup
228 for adding user defined new tags.
229 - src/gdcmHeader.cxx gdcmHeader::NewManualElValToPubDict added.
230 - src/gdcmHeader.cxx gdcmHeader::AddAndDefaultElements now
231 cleanly adds some gdcm added tags (like gdcmXSize, gdcmYSize...)
233 2003-03-17 Fabrice Bellet <Fabrice.Bellet@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
234 * Makefile.am, acinclude.m4, configure.in, python.m4, Dicts/Makefile.am,
235 Doc/Makefile.am, Test/Makefile.am, gdcmPython/Makefile.am,
236 src/Makefile.am : the project should properly compile and install
237 with the autotools, included the python wrappers part.
238 * gdcm.spec.in : added a spec file for RPM packaging.
240 2003-03-14 Benoit Regrain <Benoit.Regrain@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
241 * src/gdcmUtils.cxx : redifinition of defaults parameters in code
243 2003-03-12 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
244 * gdcmPython/__init__.py fix of GDCM_DICT_PATH which was not
245 to exported to the environement (see gdcmPython/testSuite.py
247 * src/gdcmElValSet.[cxx/h], gdcmElValue.[cxx/h], gdcmFile.[cxx/h],
248 gdcmHeader.[cxx/h]: ElValSet class renamed to gdcmElValSet, and
249 ElValue class renamed to gdcmElValue for obvious consistency reasons.
250 * src/gdcmElValSet.cxx, src/gdcmUtil.[cxx-h] Tokenize utility function
251 moved away from gdcmElValSet.cxx to gdcmUtil.cxx.
253 2003-03-10 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
254 * gdcmPython/__init__.py doesn't crash anymore when running in
255 in InstallMode or PreInstallMode but with an environement given
256 value of GDCM_DICT_PATH.
257 * src/gdcmDictSet.[cxx/h] coding style.
259 2003-03-06 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
260 * src/gdcmHeader.h and gdcmHeader.cxx Coding style + doxigenation.
261 * src/gdcm.h general comments moved to TODO, and README
262 * src/gdcm.h should now be seen as a user commodity (including it
263 should suffice to fully use gdcm). It is nowhere including within
264 any of the kernel files src/*.cxx and src/*.h.
266 2003-03-05 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
267 * src/gdcm.h splitted in gdcmCommon.h, gdcmDict.h, gdcmDictEntry.h,
268 gdcmDictSet.h, gdcmElValSet.h, gdcmElValue.h, gdcmFile.h,
270 * src/gdcm*.cxx only include their corresponding include file
271 (as opposed to gdcm.h)
272 * gdcmPython/gdcm.i changed accordingly
273 * Test/Makefile.am corrected and added NEWS, AUTHORS in order for
274 the autogen.sh generated "make snapshot" command to work.
275 * autogen.sh removed history related references to crea package.
277 2003-03-04 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
278 * distutilsSwigCPlusPlus.py work around some swig portability
281 2003-03-03 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
282 * Eventually, python/gdcmPython was renamed to gdcmPython. This
283 was done in a last ditch attempt to get setup.py _really_
284 operationnal. The python/gdcmPython layaout add the advantage
285 of hidding away the python related distutils specific files
286 (MANIFEST.in, setup.py, distutils*.py...) from the main directory.
287 Alas, the src directory was out of scope (i.e. it's relative
288 position to setup.py was ../src) which made things impossible to
289 handle (see previous version of python/setup.py). Crossing fingers...
291 2003-02-20 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
292 * python/setup.py now works on Un*x. (harder than I thougth)
293 * python/distutilsSwigCPlusPlus.py can now have include files
294 among the list of sources.
296 2003-02-20 Benoit Regrain <Benoit.Regrain@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
297 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx : bug fix - opening dicom file in binary !!!
298 * modifications in MSVC projects
300 2003-02-19 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
301 * As stated by the first lines of Test/ExceptionAndPython/README, it
302 looks like we can move back to original usage of exception within
303 src/gdcm* and hence remove the errno stuff that was introduced
304 as a quick and dirty fixture of this problem (added to the TODO).
305 * Doc/Doxyfile configuration file for Doxygen and corresponding
306 README file for usage added.
307 * Test/testWrite.cxx added. This new test comes from a split of
308 test.cxx that is now reverted to its original purpous i.e.
309 testing the proper parsing of a Dicom related file.
310 testWrite.cxx concentrates on testing the IO part of gdcm.
311 * Test/bug1.cxx (containing a bug on WIn32) added.
312 * src/gdcm.h, gdcmHeader.cxx, gdcmDictSet.cxx:
313 - gdcmHeader::GetPubTagNames and gdcmHeader::GetPubTagNamesByCategory
314 whose purpose is to publish the content of the TagNames of the
315 Dicom public dictionnary were not accessible without an
316 instance of class gdcmHeader.
317 - those methods are now static methods of gdcmDictSet and hence
318 require no instances at all to be invocated.
319 - within gdcmDictSet this change required to change some method
320 to class methods (i.e. are now static) among which SetDictPath
321 (renamed to BuildDictPath) and LoadDefaultPubDict.
322 * python/gdcmPython/demo/printGroupedPublicDict.py changed to illustrate
323 the above changes by calling the new method classes of gdcmDictSet.
324 * python/gdcmPython/__init__.py now exposes gdcm.gdcmDictSet for
325 the above to be effective.
326 * python/gdcmPython: in order to wrap properly the above changes
327 for Python, swig version now needs to be > 1.3.17.
328 * python/gdcmPython/Makefile fixed to adapt itself to new
329 configure/make shema introduced by Johan Montagnat (thanks for the
330 contribution). Alas this Makefile cannot be turned into a proper
331 Makefile.am without some heavy changes in the configure.in
332 (for python dectection).
333 * python/gdcmPython/gdcm.i: the out typemap map<string, list<string>>*
334 now avoids publishing the empty entries.
336 2003-02-13 Benoit Regrain <Benoit.Regrain@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
337 * python/setup.py : bug fix concerning install under windows
339 * gdcm.dsw : bug fix concerning path for libraries for python !!!
341 2003-02-13 Benoit Regrain <Benoit.Regrain@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
342 * Dicts/dicomV3.dic : remove double spaces !!!
343 * src/gdcmElValSet.cxx : bug fix concerning windows compiler
344 * python/gdcmPython/win32/gdcmpycomplet.dsp : bug fix concerning paths
347 2003-01-28 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
348 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx added a post header parsing AddAndDefaultElements
349 method. Doxygenation.
350 * src/gdcm.h clean up of JPR spurious comments.
352 2003-01-17 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
353 * python/distutilsSwigCPlusPlus.py now properly collects the
354 shadow classes generated by "swig -c++" (gdcm.py in our case)
355 when using "python setup.py install".
356 * python/gdcmPython/__init__.py imports gdcm.py and only manually
357 reexports the working classes.
358 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx all the try/catch/throw calls were replaced
359 by the classical C errno scheme. This is to prevent an obscure
360 behavior of the python wrappers when importing wxPython.wx prior
361 to gdcmPython (which ended up in an abort call). An illustration
362 of this oddity can be found in the Test/ExceptionAndPython
363 subdir (see the README file). This problem probably due to
364 an combination of g++ and dynamic loading.
365 * added Test/ExceptionAndPython (see above)
367 2003-01-17 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
368 * Changed the layout of the python part to avoid bloating main
369 directory with setup.py, distutilsSwigCPlusPlus.py, MANIFEST.in
370 i.e. the distutils arsenal. All the python related stuff is
371 again in a python subdir, but the package itself is now in
373 * setup.py was cleaned up:
374 - pythonIncludePath removed
375 - python setup.py bdist target is now functional.
376 * gdcmPython/__init__.py doesn't export FileName any more (to avoid
377 collision with other packages). gdcmPython/demo/*.py changed
379 2003-01-15 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
380 * python subdir moved to gdcmPython (preparation of distutils packaging).
381 * gdcmPython/setup.py and distutilsSwigCPlusPlus.py added. The
382 distutils installer is operational.
383 * - gdcmPython/__init__.py now properly loads the swig generated
384 shadow classes (from gdcm.py).
385 - gdcmPython/demo/*.py changed to import the package gdcmPython
386 instead of gdcmPython/demo/load.py.
387 - gdcmPython/testSuite.py changed to import the package gdcmPython.
390 2002-12-16 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
391 * src/gdcm.h, src/gdcmHeader.cxx: added GetPubTagNames() resp.
392 GetPubTagNamesByCategory() to gdcmHeader that return a list of the
393 entries within the associated public Dicom dictionary resp. the same
394 information but sorted by the fourth field (PAT, IMG, DIR) of the
396 - Dicts/dicomV3.dic Entries which had and unspecified fourth field
397 are now in the "???" group.
398 - python/gdcm.i changed accordingly,
399 - python/demo/printGroupedPublicDict.py added, that gives an example
400 of the above new functionalities in Python.
402 2002-12-11 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
403 * src/gdcm.h, gdcmHeader.cxx:
404 - historic references to glib's g_malloc and g_free (#defined)
405 were definitively removed.
406 - gdcm.h: cosmetic changes (part of comments moved to Doc/requirements)
407 * src/gdcmElValSet.cxx:
408 - GetElement(guint32, guint32) renamed to GetElementByNumber.
409 - GetElValue(guint32, guint32) renamed to GetElValueByNumber.
410 - GetElValue(string) renamed to GetElValueByName.
411 - Added GetElementByName(string).
412 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx: added
413 - GetPubElValRepByNumber(guint16, guint16)
414 - GetPubElValRepByName(string)
415 - GetShaElValRepByNumber(guint16, guint16)
416 - GetShaElValRepByName(string)
417 - GetShaElValByNumber(guint16, guint16)
418 - GetShaElValRepByName(string)
419 - GetElValRepByNumber(guint16, guint16)
420 - GetElValRepByName(string)
421 - GetElValByNumber(guint16, guint16)
422 - GetElValRepByName(string)
423 * Doc/requirements.txt added.
425 2002-12-9 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
426 * Test/Makefile building now depends on the one of libgdcm.so
427 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx and gdcm.h are now OB (undefined length encoded
428 pixel data) aware which enables finding the address (offset) of
429 the pixel data of JPEG encoded DICOM files. This leaves only a single
430 file in the testSuite whose pixel data address (offset) is unknown.
431 * python/testSuite.py changed accordingly.

434 * VC++ has some strong limitations when working with the STL, as stated
435 in http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q168/9/58.ASP :
436 "Also note that some STL containers (map, set, queue, list, deque)
437 cannot be exported. [...]
438 Some STL classes contain nested classes. These classes can not
440 This is caused by a designed limitation that once a template
441 class is instantiated, it can not be re-instantiated and
443 Since our usage of map<> is ubiquitous in gdcm, this "designed
444 limitation" of VC++ is a pitfall.
445 Hence the Python wrappers of gdcm cannot be incrementally linked
446 against the c++ dynamic library. The dirty but only workaround is
447 to forget about incremental link of dynamic libraries and to generate
448 the Python wrappers library with the inclusions of the underlying C++
450 The following modifications concern this matter on Win32/VC++:
451 - wrapping python correct with standalone wrapped dll (don't use separate
452 dll under windows !!!!)
453 - python21_d debug mode enabled (ask Frog how to use it :-)
454 - NO problem with having an STL member of class for example string in C++
455 WITH THE RESTRICTION OF FORGETING ABOUT INCREMENTAL LINK.
456 - Python test of dcmlib in Python is ok under windows on a large set
458 * removed glib references
459 * typedef's inserted in gdcm.i for correct swig type management
461 2002-11-27 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
462 * python/demo/*.py load.py extracted from test.py. Added explore.py
463 that only displays required tags and testAll.py that parses all
464 the files of the testsuite without using unittest.
465 * python/testSuite.py other additional test on new files added.
466 * Data/* new test files added accordingly to the testSuite.
467 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx avoid overwriting of the dictionary when
468 the vr in the file differs from the one of the dictionary.
470 2002-11-20 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
471 * src/gdcm.h and gdcmHeader.cxx gdcm no longer loads all the elements
472 values, but limits itself to values which are below a user specified
473 size (by default 1024 bytes).
474 * python/gdcm.i : elements not loaded (because their size is above the
475 user specified treshold) are exported with their TagKey as key of the
476 python dictionary. This enables the testsuite to make some checks
477 on the unloaded elements (since we have their offset and size).
478 * python/testSuite.py
479 - now tests for the existence and proper value of the pixel data
480 - two new examples added.
481 * Data/gdcm-MR-SIEMENS-16.acr[12] added.
483 2002-11-18 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
484 * src/gdcm.h and gdcmHeader.cxx are now "Big Endian transfer syntax"
485 aware. See the strategy comments in gdcmHeader::FindeLength().
486 * Test/test.cxx now accepts a filename as first argument.
487 * Data/US-PAL-8-10x-echo.dcm and US-RGB-8-epicard.dcm added.
488 * python/testSuite.py changed to integrate test on above files.
490 2002-11-15 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
491 * Dicts/dicomV3.dic removed all the trailing (RET) when the
493 * python/testSuite.py more tests added.
495 2002-11-14 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
496 * python/testSuite.py unittest test suite added (uses Data)
497 * Data/* dcm and acr files for the test suite.
498 * glib dependance removed from un*x version. We now use ISO C99
499 7.18 Integer types (see stdint.h)
500 - python/Makefile, src/Makefile src/gdcm.h
501 * src/ when an explicit vr (like dicom files) suddenly poped an
502 implicit element we use to mark the underlying DictEntry of the
503 concerned ElValue with "Implicit". This strategy was damageable
504 too the public or provite dictionaries, since some of their vr
505 would be changed. Since Header::FindLength heavily relies on the
506 detection by Header::FindVR of falsely explicit elements, I
507 added an extra ImplicitVr member to ElValue (boolean).
508 The rest of the changes we the necessary adaptations.
510 2002-11-12 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
511 * src/gdcmHeader::FindLength bug fix when trapping falsely explicit
513 * src/gdcmHeader::FindVR: hard way fix of falsely explicit vr files.
515 2002-11-8 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
516 * Adaptation for porting to VC++:
518 o forced to use std namespace (for string to be known)
519 o all class use __declspec export style on WIN32
520 - src/gdcmUtil.cxx new Exit method that wraps the exit call
521 (in stdlib.h on Win32 but in std:: for gcc)
522 * src/gdcmDictSet::SetDictPath adds a trailing / to environement
523 variable GDCM_DICT_PATH.
524 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx verbose comments made discrete.
526 2002-11-7 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
527 * python/gdcm.i: added a typemap that converts a C++ hashing table
528 to native Python dictionary.
529 * python/demo/test.py:
530 - now uses the native dictionary for exploration of gdcmHeader.
531 - takes an optional filename argument (the file to parse).
532 * src/gdcm.h and gdcmHeader.cxx: gdcmHeader now has an accessor on
533 PubElVals hashing table.
534 * Dicts/dicomV3.dic removed error prone trailing spaces.
536 2002-11-6 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
537 * Python wrapping process moved away from src/Makefile to
538 newly created python/Makefile (as well as gdcm.i)
539 * python/demo/test.py (that mirrors Test/test.cxx) is effective.
540 * src/gdcmHeader::FindLength only looks for current vr when necessary.
541 * src/gdcmDictSet.cxx: the dictionnaries directory path is now imported
542 from the environement variable GDCM_DICT_PATH (when existing).
543 * src/gdcmDict::GetTag bug fix.
545 2002-10-31 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
546 * Straightforward temporary fixes for swig to build the python wrappers.
547 src/Makefile now has a python working entry [by working we mean
548 that we can import de shadow classes without errors].
550 2002-10-29 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
551 * hashtest.cxx removed (since allready in Test)
552 * src/gdcmlib.h renamed to src/gdcm.h
553 * src/dcm.i renamed to src/gdcm.i
554 * src/Makefile prepared for python wrapping
556 2002-10-29 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
557 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx :
558 - Parsing of header is now separated from loading of element values
559 (see gdcmHeader::LoadElements).
560 - general clean up of hopefully all file access (creation of
561 ReadInt16 and ReadInt32)
563 2002-10-22 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
564 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx :
565 - RecupLgr renamed to FindLength and cut off with new IsAnInteger
567 - SetLgrElem renamed to SetLength
568 - GetLgrElem renamed to GetLength
569 - ~gdcmHeader() made virtual to pesky warning messages at compile.
570 * src/gdcmElValSet.cxx fixed both GetElValue methods
571 * Dicts/dicomV3.dic falacious entry [7fe0 0010 OT PXL Pixel Data]
572 due to IdoDude was cleaned out.
574 2002-10-21 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
575 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx RecupLgr split in FindVR and RecupLgr. FindVR
576 concentrates on finding the value representation (when it exists).
577 RecupLgr now only finds the element value length, and it avoids
578 returning the unecessary skL (skipped length).
579 Also, offsetCourant was simply removed (with taille_fich) since
580 it was redundant with the File position internals (by using
581 ftell and fseek). This also made skL (see above in RecupLgr) usage
583 * src/gdcmHeaderIdo.cxx src/gdcmIdo.h added. Those files concentrate
584 on the libido specificities which are handled through class
586 * Test/implicit_vr.dcm dicom v3 in implicit value representation
589 2002-10-17 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
590 * Truckload of changes. Parsing of header is barely functional
591 (see Test/test) with the standard dictionary (see Dicts/dicomV3.dic).
593 2002-10-10 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
594 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx many addons of low level methods
596 2002-10-07 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
597 * src/gdcmHeader now contains_IdDcmCheckSwap, _IdDcmRecupLgr,
600 2002-09-12 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
601 * This corresponds to all the changes decided at the meeting of
602 May 23 2002. Needless to say we are running late...
