-For people who get this new release :
-
-We consider now that :
-- any dicom related file is a gdcm::Document.
-- a gdcm::Document can be :
- - a gdcm::File, if it contains pixel data,
- - a gdcm::DicomDir, if it contains only informations
- on the files in a given directory
-
-- in a gdcm::Document, there are gdcm::DocEntry, that can be :
- - gdcm::ContentEntry (any entry that has an actual value,
- *not* an embedded set of other gdcm::DocEntry)
- a gdcm::ContentEntry can be :
- - gdcm::ValEntry (whose value is std::string representable
- e.g. character values, or integers),
- - gdcm::BinEntry (whose value is not std::string representable
- e.g. color palettes, overlays, icons , ...)
- - gdcm::Sequence (no proper 'value', but a set of gdcm::SQItems,
- composed of a set of gdc::DocEntry, recursively)
+ <LI> <TT>vtkGdcmReader::SetUserFunction (userSuppliedFunction)</TT><br>
+ with :<br>
+ <TT>void userSuppliedFunction(uint8_t *imageData, File *f);</TT><br>
+ allows user to reorganize the pixels of each image just after reading
+ it (to mirror, or topdown the image, for instance)<br>
+ Note : <TT>uint8_t *</TT> doesn't mean it works only on 8 Bits images.
+ <br> It's for prototyping. Feel free to cast it.
+ <br><br>
+ <LI> <TT>
+ SerieHelper::SetUserLessThanFunction(userSuppliedComparisonFunction)
+ </TT><br> with : <br>
+ <TT>bool userSuppliedComparisonFunction(File *, File *);</TT><br>
+ allows user -when he knows more about his files than gdcm does-
+ to give his own comparison function.
+ <LI> <TT>SerieHelper::SetSortOrderToReverse</TT> allows user to ask
+ to sort the Files reverse order.
+ <LI> <TT>SerieHelper::AddRestriction</TT> has now a new constructor<br>
+ <TT>AddRestriction(group, element, value, operator);</TT><br>
+ allows user to exclude some files from the sorting, according to
+ any comparison operator <br>
+ (<TT>GDCM_EQUAL</TT>, <TT>GDCM_DIFFERENT</TT>,
+ <TT>GDCM_GREATER</TT>, <TT>GDCM_GREATEROREQUAL</TT>,
+ <TT>GDCM_LESS</TT>, <TT>GDCM_LESSOREQUAL</TT>), not only on the
+ equality.
+ <br><br>
+ <LI> <TT>AnonymizeNoLoad</TT> used with <TT>dirin=inputDirectoryName</TT>
+ anonymizes all the files within the given Directory.
+ <br>
+ User may also choose extra elements he wants to rub out: <br>
+ <TT>rubout=listOfElementsToRubOut</TT><br>
+ with <tt>listOfElementsToRubOut : group1-elem1,group2-elem2,
+ ...</TT> (in hexa, no space within the list )
+ <br><br>
+ <LI> <TT>gdcm::SerieHelper()</TT> has a new method
+ <TT>void AddGdcmFile(File *header)</TT>, that allows aware user to
+ create a '<TT>FileList</TT>' (actually a
+ <TT>std::vector< File* > </TT>).<br>
+ The <TT>FileList</TT> created this way will be the
+ 'first one' in the <TT>gdcm::FileHelper()</TT> (retrieve it with
+ <TT>FileList *GetFirstCoherentFileList()</TT> ).<br>
+ It may be sorted using <TT>OrderFileList</TT>.<br>
+ No 'coherence check' will be performed on this <TT>FileList</TT>
+ before sorting.<br>
+ It may be passed to a <TT>vtkGdcmReader</TT>
+ (to avoid parsing twice the files)
+ <br><br>
+ <LI> <TT>vtkGdcmReader</TT> can now get the result of
+ <TT>gdcm::SerieHelper</TT> (to avoid parsing twice the files)<br>
+ Proceed as follow :<br>
+ <pre>
+ gdcmSerieHelper *sh = new gdcmSerieHelper();
+ sh->SetDirectory(myImageDirectory, true);
+ gdcmFileList *l = s->GetFirstCoherentFileList();
+ s->OrderFileList(l);
+
+ vtkGdcmReader *gr = new vtkGdcmReader();
+ gr->SetCoherentFileList(l);
+ gr->Update();
+ </pre>
+ This works with a directory that contains only one '<TT>Serie</TT>'
+ (same <TT>Serie UID</TT> for all the images).<br>
+ If it contains more than one <TT>Serie</TT>, you'll have to loop
+ on the Series, using <TT>GetNextCoherentFileList()</TT>;<br>
+ It will be up to the user to delete the <TT>gdcm::File</TT>.
+ <br><br>
+ See <TT>vtkgdcmSerieViewer</TT> for an example.
+ <br><br>
+ <LI> Both <TT>vtkgdcmViewer</TT> and <TT>vtkgdcmViewer2</TT>
+ are available to allow easy displaying of single/multiframe
+ GreyLevel/RGB/PaletteColor images<br><br>
+ <LI> <TT>DICOMDIR</TT> anonymiser (<TT>Load</TT> and <TT>Noload</TT> mode)
+ <br><br>
+ <LI> Because the <TT>gdcm::DicomDir::Load()</TT> method may be used
+ either for loading an already made <TT>DICOMDIR</TT> file or for
+ parsing all the dicom files with a given root directory we
+ syntaxically separated the operations: <br>
+ For loading an already made <TT>DICOMDIR</TT> file, use : <br>
+ <pre>
+ gdcm::DicomDir *d = new gdcm::DicomDir();
+ d->SetFileName(fileName);
+ d->Load( );
+ </pre>
