-Comments:
- 1/ Problem: using enum with name like 'Unknow' on .Net, or LP on cygwin
- causes problems.
- 2/ Question: when introducing the namespace, should we remove the gdcm
- prefix from classes or keep it ?
+Details: DicomDir creates some SQItem (by new). After that, it creates
+ the corresponding DicomDirPatient, etc. using the content of the SQItem
+ (the content is composed with some DocEntry's that can't be destroyed).
+ So, if the SQItem is deleted, then it's content is deleted to. But the
+ DicomDirPatient, etc. use the content of the SQItem. Then, the SQItem can't
+ be deleted, and when have memory leaks

+Description: [BUG] Better handling of unfound Dicom dictionary.
+ When gdcm doesn't find the Dicom dictionary (because it's
+ path to the directory of dictionary is uncorrect, either
+ because the install relative layout was broken after file moves
+ or because the environnement variable GDCM_DICT_PATH is
+ unpropely set), gdcm will:
+ 1/ print a warning
+ 2/ throw an exception (that is internaly UNcatched by gdcm)
+ that in most cases provoques the caller application to
+ exit uncleanly (uncatched excpetions in fine call abort() ).
+ Additionaly on Win32 the warning print isn't displayed because
+ exiting occurs prior to cerr or cout is flushed properly.
+Date: 2004 Oct 15

-Details:
+Details: fixes (from dirty to clean)
+ 1/ force Win32 to flush it's buffer so at least the user gets some
+ reason why it's application exited (when called in command
+ environement). Note: it looks like the "cerr << flush" fails. Sigh.
+ 2/ within gdcm catch the exception, display a decent warning, and
+ return to caller.
+ 3/ see the comment below on how to enhance the API and fix things
+ really cleanly.
+Comments: ENH proposal:
+ The caller migth not be aware of the path to the dictionaries
+ on invocation of gdcm (think this path is set by the Interface
+ because the caller wants to skip the default gdcm dictionary in order
+ to provide his own ones e.g. another language based one).
+ Hence, gdcm should postpone the parsing of the default dictionary
+ instead of doing it on library entry.
+ This would enable two things:
+ - It would give a chance to the caller to set the path to
+ the dictionaries he whishes to use, through a call to
+ newly created DictSet::SetDictionaryPath( string ).
+ - It would avoid the burden of using the GDCM_DICT_PATH
+ environnement variable and enable GDCM CONTROL FROM WITHIN
+ THE API. Optionaly, if the caller didn't use the API to
+ provide his prefered path, gdcm could still default to
+ GDCM_DICT_PATH...

+Description: vtk/vtkGdcmReader doesn't positionate the normal to the image
+Date: 2004 Oct 1
+Attributed:
+Details: vtkGdcmReader::CheckFileCoherence() sets the DataOrigin[i]
+ but doesn't set the plane (image seen in 3D) normal (is it
+ possible any how). This plane normal could be extracted from
+ the "orientation" info of the gdcmHeader ( refer to
+ grep "Orientation" Dicts/dicomV3.dic).
+ Problem exhibiting this defect: cine loop on a pile of images
+ whose Origin is correct, but whose normal is not set will
+ plainly suck !
Comments:
+ * vtkGdcmReader inherits from vtkImageReader which aggregates
+ a vtkTranform. vtkGdcmReader could store (when the user requires
+ it, see below) the origin/normal taken from the Dicom Header
+ within this vtkTransform (looks like a natural place to store
+ this spacial information).
+ * Both settings of the origin and/OR the normal of the plane (image)
+ should be an option defined with a flag (On/Off) in the
+ vtkGdcmReader...

-Description: Convert the C-like IO to C++ IO:
-Date: 2004 Jul 30
-Attributed:
-Details:
- remove all the C-oriented IO references like FILE*, fread...
- and replace them with the C++ fstream notation.
- Provide overload of operators << and >> for any gdcm class using file IO.
-Comments:
- * Question: the underlying jpeg libraries (written in C) use the FILE*
- notation. Is there a way to still use fstream in gdcm, and
- build or pass the proper FILE* to jpeg libs ?
- * Binary IO references are available at
- http://www.angelfire.com/country/aldev0/cpphowto/cpp_BinaryFileIO.html

+Comments: * frog: gdcmData only lists pathological images. How to collect

+ subset of what we would like).

+Description: Add a GetVersion() global function.
+Date: 2003 july 7
+Attributed:
+Details: This is to be used for version assertion with gdcmPython
+Comments:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* vtk/vtkGdcmHeader.cxx: if speed becomes a concern some changes can
be made at the cost of memory consumption (refer to header of
vtk/vtkGdcmHeader.cxx)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-* Add a GetVersion() global function.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* gdcmElValSet::SetElValueLengthByNumber IMNSHO should be trashed.
It's only purpose is a onliner substitute to calling GetElValueByNumber
and then SetLength. This only obfuscates the caller code more than
gdcmHeader::SetPubElValLengthByNumber (which is based on
gdcmElValSet::SetElValueLengthByNumber) is used nowhere...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-* Fix the bug in Test/bug1.cxx (see first comment line): Win32 only.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* All (or at least many of) the methods of gdcmHeader whose only arguments
are an ElValue* (e.g. FindLength, FindVR, LoadElementValue...) can
be moved away to ElValue class on condition of transmitting the
would allow those method to avoid artificial calls to ElValue::GetElement(),
ElValue::GetVR()...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-* Eat leanding_trailing_whitespace (found in python/gdcmPython/gdcmi) should
- be used when parsing the dictionary in C++ !
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Group length is not a unique tag in a file. Hence avoid putting it
in the element values dictionary without doing something smarter
(say, instead of storing the length store the group and the length
a.write(output);
