+ <TT>gdcm::Dict::RemoveDict(std::string fullPathPrivateDictionaryFileName)</TT>

+ This one allow right now anybody to see very easyly if the use

+ <TT>PrintFile</TT> has now a new command line argument manager option :<br>

+ Many users expect from <TT>vtkGdcmReader</TT> it 'orders' the images
+ (that's the job of <TT>gdcm::SerieHelper</TT> ...)<br>
+ When user <b>knows</b> the files with same Serie UID
+ have same sizes, same 'pixel' type, same color convention, ...
+ the right way to proceed is as follow :
+ <pre>
+ gdcm::SerieHelper *sh= new gdcm::SerieHelper();
+ // if user wants *not* to load some parts of the file headers
+ sh->SetLoadMode(loadMode);
+
+ // if user wants *not* to load some files
+ sh->AddRestriction(group, element, value, operator);
+ sh->AddRestriction( ...
+ sh->SetDirectory(directoryWithImages);
+
+ // if user *knows* how to order his files
+ sh->SetUserLessThanFunction(userSuppliedComparisonFunction);
+ // or/and
+ // if user wants to sort reverse order
+ sh->SetSortOrderToReverse();
+
+ // here, we suppose only the first 'Single SerieUID' Fileset is of interest
+ // Just iterate using sh->NextSingleSerieUIDFileSet()
+ // if you want to get all of them
+ gdcm::FileList *l = sh->GetFirstSingleSerieUIDFileSet();
+
+ // if user is doesn't trust too much the files with same Serie UID
+ if ( !sh->IsCoherent(l) )
+ return; // not same sizes, or not same 'pixel type' -> stop
+
+ sh->OrderFileList(l); // sort the list
+
+ vtkGdcmReader *reader = vtkGdcmReader::New();
+ // if user wants to modify pixel order (Mirror, TopDown, ...)
+ // he has to supply the function that does the job
+ // (a *very* simple example is given in vtkgdcmSerieViewer.cxx)
+ reader->SetUserFunction (userSuppliedFunction);
+
+ // to pass a 'Single SerieUID' Fileset as produced by gdcm::SerieHelper
+ reader->SetCoherentFileList(l);
+ reader->Update();
+ </pre>
+ You can see a full example in <TT>vtk/vtkgdcmSerieViewer.cxx</TT><br>
+ e.g.<br>
+
+ <TT>vtkgdcmSerieViewer dirname=Dentist mirror</TT><br>
+ <TT>vtkgdcmSerieViewer dirname=Dentist reverse</TT><br>
