2 * Added python wrappers of vtkGdcmReader vtk class (see the
3 source in vtk/vtkGdcmReader.cxx) :
4 - vtk/Makefile.am now builds a library
5 - gdcmPython/Makefile.am now builds vtkgdcmPython a second import
6 python library (as opposed to _gdcm.so wich are the python
7 wrappers of gdcm). vtkgdcmPython.so uses the vtk python wrappers
8 (vtkWrapPython and vtkWrapPythonInit utility) to build vtkgdcmPython
10 - configure.in has an additional flag --enable-vtk that needs
11 to be set to enable compilation of vtk related code, that is:
12 + vtk/vtkGdcmReader.so and
13 + vtk/testvtkGdcmReader C++ demo of vtk wrappers of gdcm)
14 + gdcmPython/vtkgdcmPython.so (see above)
15 - gdcmPython/demo/vtkGdcmDemo.py corrected (some images cannot
16 be read when compressed or when HighBit + 1 != BitsStored),
17 - gdcmPython/demo/vtkGdcmReader.py added. This demo illustrates
18 the usage of the python wrapper of vtkGdcmReader vtk class.
19 * vtk/vtkGdcmReader.cxx: bug fixed (thanks to Benoit Regrain).
20 * src/*.[h] all occurences of stl classes are now prefixed with
21 std::, and all occurences of "using namespace std;" where removed.
22 This is to avoid pollution of global namespace in included files.
23 Apparently vtk does not avoid this pitfall: when using both
24 gdcm and vtk (as in vtk/vtkGdcmReader.cxx) this ended up in a
25 collision of various stl members (principally cout...).
26 * gdcmPython/testSuite.py now cleanly removes temprory generated
29 2003-05-12 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
30 * src/gdcmHeader>[h/cxx] added gdcmHeader::GetPixelSize()
31 * vtk/vtkGdcmReader.cxx now properly inports the image in the
32 vtk data structure (an image Flip was required).
33 * vtk/testvtkGdcmReader.cxx refers to gdcmData subdir instead of Data.
34 * cosmetic changes in documentation.
36 2003-05-7 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
37 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx: the constructor no longer exits when an
38 unexisting file is given as argument.
39 * The subdirectory Data (containing all the images used for the
40 test suite) is not part of this repository anymore. A new module
41 containing those images is now available at
42 :pserver:xxx@cvs.creatis.insa-lyon.fr:2402/cvs/public
43 with the name gdcmData.
44 All the python scripts (including the package initialisation file
45 gdcmPython/__init__.py) were adapated to take this change into
46 account (basically GDCM_DATA_PATH is now GDCM_TEST_DATA_PATH).
48 2003-05-5 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
49 * vtk subdir added. Contains vtkGdcmReader.[cxx|h] a vtk class
50 inherinting from vtkImageReader and testvtkGdcmReader.cxx a small
51 demo of the usage of this class.
52 Compilation of this vtk part is only done when using the --enable-vtk
53 at configure (or autogen.sh) stage.
55 2003-04-16 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
56 * More memmory link related corrections and documentation fixes.
58 - maximum info is obtained with a command of the form:
59 valgrind --leak-check=yes --leak-resolution=high --num-callers=40
60 --show-reachable=yes PrintHeader
61 - the remaining reachable blocks seem to come from the STL
62 allocation scheme through the usage of map and list. It looks
63 like this memory cannot be freed but it is not a memory leak
64 (in fact further invocation to the STL would recollect the
65 unused memory allthough it cannot explicitely be freed).
66 * gdcmPython/demo/vtkGdcmDemo.py added: this is a small demo
67 of displaying an image parsed with gdcm and displayed with VTK.
68 Note: some images don't seem to work e.g.
69 python vtkGdcmDemo.py ../../Data/US-RGB-8-esopecho.dcm
70 * src/gdcmHeader.x: dicom_vr and Dicts are not class members anymore.
71 Allthough this weakens the semantics, it is a ditch attempt to
72 make gdcm more thread friendly.
74 2003-04-15 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
75 * Memory link hunt (by using valgrind through the command
76 valgrind --show-reachable=yes --leak-check=yes PrintHeader).
77 - added src/gdcmVR.cxx gdcmVR.h that objectify the previous
78 gdcmHeader::_dicom_vr.
79 - gdcmHeader::InitVRDict transfered as gdcmVR::gdcmVR().
80 - gdcmHeader::dicom_vr is now of type gdcmVR* as opposed to
82 - gdcmGlobal global object contained class added (see src/gdcmUtil.x)
84 2003-04-9 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
85 * src/Makefile.am now exports all the necessary include files at
89 * UpdateGroupLength replaced by new one
92 * UpdateGroupLength re-written using H-Table
93 (named UpdateGroupLengthNew untill checks are over)
95 2003-04-7 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
96 * Data/im_00001 renamed to gdcm-MR-PHILIPS-16-Multi-Seq.dcm
97 * gdcmPython/testSuite.py now include a test of gdcmFile::Write.
99 - gdcmHeader::GetPubElValSet removed.
100 - gdcmElValSet::WriteDcm, WriteAcr, WriteExplVR, revamped to
101 UpdateGroupLength, WriteElements, Write.
102 - gdcmHeader::FileType moved to gdcmCommon.h. The enum FileType
103 doesn't contain TrueDicom anymore since ExplicitVR and ImplicitVR
104 carried the same semantics.
105 - src/gdcmHeaderIdo.cxx changed accordingly.
106 - gdcmFile::WriteBase now regroups all the codes from previous
107 versions of WriteDcm, WriteDcmImplVR, and WriteACR.
108 - enum FileType moved to gdcmCommon.h
109 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx AddDefault trashed
111 * getimageDataSize now calls gdcmGetXSize
112 * Test/*.cxx changed to agree with above changes
114 2003-03-31 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
115 * src/gdcmHeader.h: LoadElements() is not a public method anymore
116 (to avoid double call by end user).
117 * Test/*.cxx LoadElements() doesn't need to be called explicitely
118 by end user, since gdcmHeader::gdcmHeader now handles it.
120 2003-03-29 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
121 * gdcm/Doc many doxygen changes:
122 - Doxyfile now has two different versions, DoxyfileUsers that generates
123 the html.users end users oriented documentation and
124 DoxyfileDeveloppers that generates the html.developper developper
125 oriented documentation.
126 - README changed accordingly
127 - requirement.txt removed (old design info moved to TODO).
128 - Additional files DoxyInstallation.txt, DoxyIntroduction.txt,
129 DoxyMainPage.txt, DoxyPython.txt provide more information.
130 - Note: the website http://www.creatis.insa-lyon.fr/Public/Gdcm/ can now
131 be updated by simply regenerating the docs with doxygen and copying
132 html.developper and html.users to tux:/home/httpd/html/Public/Gdcm
133 * src/gdcmElValSet.cxx: stl <map>.count() can only return 0 or 1. Hence
134 all the tests in the form "if (<map>.count() >1)" were removed.
135 * src/gdcmFile.cxx: cosmetic changes to avoid messages of doxygen about
136 ill-formed documentation sections.
137 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx: ditto
139 2003-03-27 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
140 * setup.py fixed for un*x (needed macro for stdint.h)
141 * Test/test.cxx renamed to PrintHeader.cxx to avoid collision on
142 un*ces with sh-utils test utility.
143 * gdcmPython/demo/test.py renamed to PrintHeader.py
144 * gdcmPython/demo/ReorganiseFiles.py new demo script added.
145 * gdcmPython/win32/gdcmpycomplet.dsp renamed to gdcmpyembedded.dsp.
146 * gdcmPython/win32/gdcmpy.dsp trashed away (brain damaged).
147 * src/gdcm*.cxx JPR's bad inclusion fixed.
149 2003-03-26 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
150 * src/gdcmHeader[h, cxx] gdcmHeader now has an IsReadable predicate.
151 * gdcmPython/demo/test.py changed accordingly.
153 2003-03-25 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
154 * gdcmPython/Makefile.am fixed linking against libstdc++
155 * gdcmPython/_gdcm.so symbolic link to gdcmPython/.libs/pygdcm.so added.
156 * Swig subdir (historical tests of swig version 1.3.17++) removed
157 * Test/testChangeEntete.cxx some lines commented out in order to make
159 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx cleaned up wild JPR's dirty kludge.
160 * src/gdcmElValSet.cxx cleaned up frog's forgotten debug message
162 2003-03-24 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
163 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx gdcmHeader::gdcmHeader now calls LoadElements(),
164 hence the user doesn't need this explicit call.
165 - gdcmPython/testSuite.py, gdcmPython/demo/*.py changed accordingly
166 i.e. LoadElements() call removed.
167 * src/gdcmCommon.h now defines UINT32_MAX (see stdint.h).
168 - src/Makefile.am declares the proper flag for g++.
169 * src/gdcmElValSet.h added gdcmElValSet::GenerateFreeTagKeyInGroup
170 for adding user defined new tags.
171 - src/gdcmHeader.cxx gdcmHeader::NewManualElValToPubDict added.
172 - src/gdcmHeader.cxx gdcmHeader::AddAndDefaultElements now
173 cleanly adds some gdcm added tags (like gdcmXSize, gdcmYSize...)
175 2003-03-17 Fabrice Bellet <Fabrice.Bellet@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
176 * Makefile.am, acinclude.m4, configure.in, python.m4, Dicts/Makefile.am,
177 Doc/Makefile.am, Test/Makefile.am, gdcmPython/Makefile.am,
178 src/Makefile.am : the project should properly compile and install
179 with the autotools, included the python wrappers part.
180 * gdcm.spec.in : added a spec file for RPM packaging.
182 2003-03-14 Benoit Regrain <Benoit.Regrain@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
183 * src/gdcmUtils.cxx : redifinition of defaults parameters in code
185 2003-03-12 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
186 * gdcmPython/__init__.py fix of GDCM_DICT_PATH which was not
187 to exported to the environement (see gdcmPython/testSuite.py
189 * src/gdcmElValSet.[cxx/h], gdcmElValue.[cxx/h], gdcmFile.[cxx/h],
190 gdcmHeader.[cxx/h]: ElValSet class renamed to gdcmElValSet, and
191 ElValue class renamed to gdcmElValue for obvious consistency reasons.
192 * src/gdcmElValSet.cxx, src/gdcmUtil.[cxx-h] Tokenize utility function
193 moved away from gdcmElValSet.cxx to gdcmUtil.cxx.
195 2003-03-10 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
196 * gdcmPython/__init__.py doesn't crash anymore when running in
197 in InstallMode or PreInstallMode but with an environement given
198 value of GDCM_DICT_PATH.
199 * src/gdcmDictSet.[cxx/h] coding style.
201 2003-03-06 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
202 * src/gdcmHeader.h and gdcmHeader.cxx Coding style + doxigenation.
203 * src/gdcm.h general comments moved to TODO, and README
204 * src/gdcm.h should now be seen as a user commodity (including it
205 should suffice to fully use gdcm). It is nowhere including within
206 any of the kernel files src/*.cxx and src/*.h.
208 2003-03-05 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
209 * src/gdcm.h splitted in gdcmCommon.h, gdcmDict.h, gdcmDictEntry.h,
210 gdcmDictSet.h, gdcmElValSet.h, gdcmElValue.h, gdcmFile.h,
212 * src/gdcm*.cxx only include their corresponding include file
213 (as opposed to gdcm.h)
214 * gdcmPython/gdcm.i changed accordingly
215 * Test/Makefile.am corrected and added NEWS, AUTHORS in order for
216 the autogen.sh generated "make snapshot" command to work.
217 * autogen.sh removed history related references to crea package.
219 2003-03-04 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
220 * distutilsSwigCPlusPlus.py work around some swig portability
223 2003-03-03 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
224 * Eventually, python/gdcmPython was renamed to gdcmPython. This
225 was done in a last ditch attempt to get setup.py _really_
226 operationnal. The python/gdcmPython layaout add the advantage
227 of hidding away the python related distutils specific files
228 (MANIFEST.in, setup.py, distutils*.py...) from the main directory.
229 Alas, the src directory was out of scope (i.e. it's relative
230 position to setup.py was ../src) which made things impossible to
231 handle (see previous version of python/setup.py). Crossing fingers...
233 2003-02-20 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
234 * python/setup.py now works on Un*x. (harder than I thougth)
235 * python/distutilsSwigCPlusPlus.py can now have include files
236 among the list of sources.
238 2003-02-20 Benoit Regrain <Benoit.Regrain@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
239 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx : bug fix - opening dicom file in binary !!!
240 * modifications in MSVC projects
242 2003-02-19 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
243 * As stated by the first lines of Test/ExceptionAndPython/README, it
244 looks like we can move back to original usage of exception within
245 src/gdcm* and hence remove the errno stuff that was introduced
246 as a quick and dirty fixture of this problem (added to the TODO).
247 * Doc/Doxyfile configuration file for Doxygen and corresponding
248 README file for usage added.
249 * Test/testWrite.cxx added. This new test comes from a split of
250 test.cxx that is now reverted to its original purpous i.e.
251 testing the proper parsing of a Dicom related file.
252 testWrite.cxx concentrates on testing the IO part of gdcm.
253 * Test/bug1.cxx (containing a bug on WIn32) added.
254 * src/gdcm.h, gdcmHeader.cxx, gdcmDictSet.cxx:
255 - gdcmHeader::GetPubTagNames and gdcmHeader::GetPubTagNamesByCategory
256 whose purpose is to publish the content of the TagNames of the
257 Dicom public dictionnary were not accessible without an
258 instance of class gdcmHeader.
259 - those methods are now static methods of gdcmDictSet and hence
260 require no instances at all to be invocated.
261 - within gdcmDictSet this change required to change some method
262 to class methods (i.e. are now static) among which SetDictPath
263 (renamed to BuildDictPath) and LoadDefaultPubDict.
264 * python/gdcmPython/demo/printGroupedPublicDict.py changed to illustrate
265 the above changes by calling the new method classes of gdcmDictSet.
266 * python/gdcmPython/__init__.py now exposes gdcm.gdcmDictSet for
267 the above to be effective.
268 * python/gdcmPython: in order to wrap properly the above changes
269 for Python, swig version now needs to be > 1.3.17.
270 * python/gdcmPython/Makefile fixed to adapt itself to new
271 configure/make shema introduced by Johan Montagnat (thanks for the
272 contribution). Alas this Makefile cannot be turned into a proper
273 Makefile.am without some heavy changes in the configure.in
274 (for python dectection).
275 * python/gdcmPython/gdcm.i: the out typemap map<string, list<string>>*
276 now avoids publishing the empty entries.
278 2003-02-13 Benoit Regrain <Benoit.Regrain@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
279 * python/setup.py : bug fix concerning install under windows
281 * gdcm.dsw : bug fix concerning path for libraries for python !!!
283 2003-02-13 Benoit Regrain <Benoit.Regrain@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
284 * Dicts/dicomV3.dic : remove double spaces !!!
285 * src/gdcmElValSet.cxx : bug fix concerning windows compiler
286 * python/gdcmPython/win32/gdcmpycomplet.dsp : bug fix concerning paths
289 2003-01-28 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
290 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx added a post header parsing AddAndDefaultElements
291 method. Doxygenation.
292 * src/gdcm.h clean up of JPR spurious comments.
294 2003-01-17 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
295 * python/distutilsSwigCPlusPlus.py now properly collects the
296 shadow classes generated by "swig -c++" (gdcm.py in our case)
297 when using "python setup.py install".
298 * python/gdcmPython/__init__.py imports gdcm.py and only manually
299 reexports the working classes.
300 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx all the try/catch/throw calls were replaced
301 by the classical C errno scheme. This is to prevent an obscure
302 behavior of the python wrappers when importing wxPython.wx prior
303 to gdcmPython (which ended up in an abort call). An illustration
304 of this oddity can be found in the Test/ExceptionAndPython
305 subdir (see the README file). This problem probably due to
306 an combination of g++ and dynamic loading.
307 * added Test/ExceptionAndPython (see above)
309 2003-01-17 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
310 * Changed the layout of the python part to avoid bloating main
311 directory with setup.py, distutilsSwigCPlusPlus.py, MANIFEST.in
312 i.e. the distutils arsenal. All the python related stuff is
313 again in a python subdir, but the package itself is now in
315 * setup.py was cleaned up:
316 - pythonIncludePath removed
317 - python setup.py bdist target is now functional.
318 * gdcmPython/__init__.py doesn't export FileName any more (to avoid
319 collision with other packages). gdcmPython/demo/*.py changed
321 2003-01-15 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
322 * python subdir moved to gdcmPython (preparation of distutils packaging).
323 * gdcmPython/setup.py and distutilsSwigCPlusPlus.py added. The
324 distutils installer is operational.
325 * - gdcmPython/__init__.py now properly loads the swig generated
326 shadow classes (from gdcm.py).
327 - gdcmPython/demo/*.py changed to import the package gdcmPython
328 instead of gdcmPython/demo/load.py.
329 - gdcmPython/testSuite.py changed to import the package gdcmPython.
332 2002-12-16 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
333 * src/gdcm.h, src/gdcmHeader.cxx: added GetPubTagNames() resp.
334 GetPubTagNamesByCategory() to gdcmHeader that return a list of the
335 entries within the associated public Dicom dictionary resp. the same
336 information but sorted by the fourth field (PAT, IMG, DIR) of the
338 - Dicts/dicomV3.dic Entries which had and unspecified fourth field
339 are now in the "???" group.
340 - python/gdcm.i changed accordingly,
341 - python/demo/printGroupedPublicDict.py added, that gives an example
342 of the above new functionalities in Python.
344 2002-12-11 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
345 * src/gdcm.h, gdcmHeader.cxx:
346 - historic references to glib's g_malloc and g_free (#defined)
347 were definitively removed.
348 - gdcm.h: cosmetic changes (part of comments moved to Doc/requirements)
349 * src/gdcmElValSet.cxx:
350 - GetElement(guint32, guint32) renamed to GetElementByNumber.
351 - GetElValue(guint32, guint32) renamed to GetElValueByNumber.
352 - GetElValue(string) renamed to GetElValueByName.
353 - Added GetElementByName(string).
354 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx: added
355 - GetPubElValRepByNumber(guint16, guint16)
356 - GetPubElValRepByName(string)
357 - GetShaElValRepByNumber(guint16, guint16)
358 - GetShaElValRepByName(string)
359 - GetShaElValByNumber(guint16, guint16)
360 - GetShaElValRepByName(string)
361 - GetElValRepByNumber(guint16, guint16)
362 - GetElValRepByName(string)
363 - GetElValByNumber(guint16, guint16)
364 - GetElValRepByName(string)
365 * Doc/requirements.txt added.
367 2002-12-9 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
368 * Test/Makefile building now depends on the one of libgdcm.so
369 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx and gdcm.h are now OB (undefined length encoded
370 pixel data) aware which enables finding the address (offset) of
371 the pixel data of JPEG encoded DICOM files. This leaves only a single
372 file in the testSuite whose pixel data address (offset) is unknown.
373 * python/testSuite.py changed accordingly.
375 2002-12-6 Christophe Odet + Hugues Benoit-Cattin + Eric.Boix
376 * VC++ has some strong limitations when working with the STL, as stated
377 in http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q168/9/58.ASP :
378 "Also note that some STL containers (map, set, queue, list, deque)
379 cannot be exported. [...]
380 Some STL classes contain nested classes. These classes can not
382 This is caused by a designed limitation that once a template
383 class is instantiated, it can not be re-instantiated and
385 Since our usage of map<> is ubiquitous in gdcm, this "designed
386 limitation" of VC++ is a pitfall.
387 Hence the Python wrappers of gdcm cannot be incrementally linked
388 against the c++ dynamic library. The dirty but only workaround is
389 to forget about incremental link of dynamic libraries and to generate
390 the Python wrappers library with the inclusions of the underlying C++
392 The following modifications concern this matter on Win32/VC++:
393 - wrapping python correct with standalone wrapped dll (don't use separate
394 dll under windows !!!!)
395 - python21_d debug mode enabled (ask Frog how to use it :-)
396 - NO problem with having an STL member of class for example string in C++
397 WITH THE RESTRICTION OF FORGETING ABOUT INCREMENTAL LINK.
398 - Python test of dcmlib in Python is ok under windows on a large set
400 * removed glib references
401 * typedef's inserted in gdcm.i for correct swig type management
403 2002-11-27 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
404 * python/demo/*.py load.py extracted from test.py. Added explore.py
405 that only displays required tags and testAll.py that parses all
406 the files of the testsuite without using unittest.
407 * python/testSuite.py other additional test on new files added.
408 * Data/* new test files added accordingly to the testSuite.
409 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx avoid overwriting of the dictionary when
410 the vr in the file differs from the one of the dictionary.
412 2002-11-20 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
413 * src/gdcm.h and gdcmHeader.cxx gdcm no longer loads all the elements
414 values, but limits itself to values which are below a user specified
415 size (by default 1024 bytes).
416 * python/gdcm.i : elements not loaded (because their size is above the
417 user specified treshold) are exported with their TagKey as key of the
418 python dictionary. This enables the testsuite to make some checks
419 on the unloaded elements (since we have their offset and size).
420 * python/testSuite.py
421 - now tests for the existence and proper value of the pixel data
422 - two new examples added.
423 * Data/gdcm-MR-SIEMENS-16.acr[12] added.
425 2002-11-18 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
426 * src/gdcm.h and gdcmHeader.cxx are now "Big Endian transfer syntax"
427 aware. See the strategy comments in gdcmHeader::FindeLength().
428 * Test/test.cxx now accepts a filename as first argument.
429 * Data/US-PAL-8-10x-echo.dcm and US-RGB-8-epicard.dcm added.
430 * python/testSuite.py changed to integrate test on above files.
432 2002-11-15 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
433 * Dicts/dicomV3.dic removed all the trailing (RET) when the
435 * python/testSuite.py more tests added.
437 2002-11-14 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
438 * python/testSuite.py unittest test suite added (uses Data)
439 * Data/* dcm and acr files for the test suite.
440 * glib dependance removed from un*x version. We now use ISO C99
441 7.18 Integer types (see stdint.h)
442 - python/Makefile, src/Makefile src/gdcm.h
443 * src/ when an explicit vr (like dicom files) suddenly poped an
444 implicit element we use to mark the underlying DictEntry of the
445 concerned ElValue with "Implicit". This strategy was damageable
446 too the public or provite dictionaries, since some of their vr
447 would be changed. Since Header::FindLength heavily relies on the
448 detection by Header::FindVR of falsely explicit elements, I
449 added an extra ImplicitVr member to ElValue (boolean).
450 The rest of the changes we the necessary adaptations.
452 2002-11-12 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
453 * src/gdcmHeader::FindLength bug fix when trapping falsely explicit
455 * src/gdcmHeader::FindVR: hard way fix of falsely explicit vr files.
457 2002-11-8 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
458 * Adaptation for porting to VC++:
460 o forced to use std namespace (for string to be known)
461 o all class use __declspec export style on WIN32
462 - src/gdcmUtil.cxx new Exit method that wraps the exit call
463 (in stdlib.h on Win32 but in std:: for gcc)
464 * src/gdcmDictSet::SetDictPath adds a trailing / to environement
465 variable GDCM_DICT_PATH.
466 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx verbose comments made discrete.
468 2002-11-7 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
469 * python/gdcm.i: added a typemap that converts a C++ hashing table
470 to native Python dictionary.
471 * python/demo/test.py:
472 - now uses the native dictionary for exploration of gdcmHeader.
473 - takes an optional filename argument (the file to parse).
474 * src/gdcm.h and gdcmHeader.cxx: gdcmHeader now has an accessor on
475 PubElVals hashing table.
476 * Dicts/dicomV3.dic removed error prone trailing spaces.
478 2002-11-6 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
479 * Python wrapping process moved away from src/Makefile to
480 newly created python/Makefile (as well as gdcm.i)
481 * python/demo/test.py (that mirrors Test/test.cxx) is effective.
482 * src/gdcmHeader::FindLength only looks for current vr when necessary.
483 * src/gdcmDictSet.cxx: the dictionnaries directory path is now imported
484 from the environement variable GDCM_DICT_PATH (when existing).
485 * src/gdcmDict::GetTag bug fix.
487 2002-10-31 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
488 * Straightforward temporary fixes for swig to build the python wrappers.
489 src/Makefile now has a python working entry [by working we mean
490 that we can import de shadow classes without errors].
492 2002-10-29 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
493 * hashtest.cxx removed (since allready in Test)
494 * src/gdcmlib.h renamed to src/gdcm.h
495 * src/dcm.i renamed to src/gdcm.i
496 * src/Makefile prepared for python wrapping
498 2002-10-29 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
499 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx :
500 - Parsing of header is now separated from loading of element values
501 (see gdcmHeader::LoadElements).
502 - general clean up of hopefully all file access (creation of
503 ReadInt16 and ReadInt32)
505 2002-10-22 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
506 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx :
507 - RecupLgr renamed to FindLength and cut off with new IsAnInteger
509 - SetLgrElem renamed to SetLength
510 - GetLgrElem renamed to GetLength
511 - ~gdcmHeader() made virtual to pesky warning messages at compile.
512 * src/gdcmElValSet.cxx fixed both GetElValue methods
513 * Dicts/dicomV3.dic falacious entry [7fe0 0010 OT PXL Pixel Data]
514 due to IdoDude was cleaned out.
516 2002-10-21 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
517 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx RecupLgr split in FindVR and RecupLgr. FindVR
518 concentrates on finding the value representation (when it exists).
519 RecupLgr now only finds the element value length, and it avoids
520 returning the unecessary skL (skipped length).
521 Also, offsetCourant was simply removed (with taille_fich) since
522 it was redundant with the File position internals (by using
523 ftell and fseek). This also made skL (see above in RecupLgr) usage
525 * src/gdcmHeaderIdo.cxx src/gdcmIdo.h added. Those files concentrate
526 on the libido specificities which are handled through class
528 * Test/implicit_vr.dcm dicom v3 in implicit value representation
531 2002-10-17 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
532 * Truckload of changes. Parsing of header is barely functional
533 (see Test/test) with the standard dictionary (see Dicts/dicomV3.dic).
535 2002-10-10 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
536 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx many addons of low level methods
538 2002-10-07 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
539 * src/gdcmHeader now contains_IdDcmCheckSwap, _IdDcmRecupLgr,
542 2002-09-12 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
543 * This corresponds to all the changes decided at the meeting of
544 May 23 2002. Needless to say we are running late...
