** Revision 1.23  2002/04/25 10:06:09  joergr
** Added/modified getOFStringArray() implementation.
** Added support for XML output of DICOM objects.
**
** Revision 1.22  2001/09/25 17:19:25  meichel
** Adapted dcmdata to class OFCondition
**
** Revision 1.21  2001/06/01 15:48:39  meichel
** Updated copyright header
**
** Revision 1.20  2001/05/10 12:50:21  meichel
** Added protected createEmptyValue() method in class DcmElement.
**
** Revision 1.19  2000/11/07 16:56:06  meichel
** Initial release of dcmsign module for DICOM Digital Signatures
**
** Revision 1.18  2000/03/08 16:26:14  meichel
** Updated copyright header.
**
** Revision 1.17  2000/02/02 14:31:16  joergr
** Replaced 'delete' statements by 'delete[]' for objects created with 'new[]'.
**
** Revision 1.16  1999/03/31 09:24:37  meichel
** Updated copyright header in module dcmdata
**
** Revision 1.15  1998/11/12 16:47:38  meichel
** Implemented operator= for all classes derived from DcmObject.
**
** Revision 1.14  1998/07/15 15:48:47  joergr
** Removed several compiler warnings reported by gcc 2.8.1 with
** additional options, e.g. missing copy constructors and assignment
** operators, initialization of member variables in the body of a
** constructor instead of the member initialization list, hiding of
** methods by use of identical names, uninitialized member variables,
** missing const declaration of char pointers. Replaced tabs by spaces.
**
** Revision 1.13  1997/09/11 15:13:10  hewett
** Modified getOFString method arguments by removing a default value
** for the pos argument.  By requiring the pos argument to be provided
** ensures that callers realise getOFString only gets one component of
** a multi-valued string.
**
** Revision 1.12  1997/08/29 08:32:38  andreas
** - Added methods getOFString and getOFStringArray for all
**   string VRs. These methods are able to normalise the value, i. e.
**   to remove leading and trailing spaces. This will be done only if
**   it is described in the standard that these spaces are not relevant.
**   These methods do not test the strings for conformance, this means
**   especially that they do not delete spaces where they are not allowed!
**   getOFStringArray returns the string with all its parts separated by \
**   and getOFString returns only one value of the string.
**   CAUTION: Currently getString returns a string with trailing
**   spaces removed (if dcmEnableAutomaticInputDataCorrection == OFTrue) and
**   truncates the original string (since it is not copied!). If you rely on this
**   behaviour please change your application now.
**   Future changes will ensure that getString returns the original
**   string from the DICOM object (NULL terminated) inclusive padding.
**   Currently, if you call getOF... before calling getString without
**   normalisation, you can get the original string read from the DICOM object.
**
** Revision 1.11  1997/07/31 06:57:59  andreas
** new protected method swapValueField for DcmElement
**
** Revision 1.10  1997/07/21 07:57:53  andreas
** - New method DcmElement::detachValueField to give control over the
**   value field to the calling part (see dcelem.h)
** - Replace all boolean types (BOOLEAN, CTNBOOLEAN, DICOM_BOOL, BOOL)
**   with one unique boolean type OFBool.
**
** Revision 1.9  1997/05/27 13:48:26  andreas
** - Add method canWriteXfer to class DcmObject and all derived classes.
**   This method checks whether it is possible to convert the original
**   transfer syntax to an new transfer syntax. The check is used in the
**   dcmconv utility to prohibit the change of a compressed transfer
**   syntax to a uncompressed.
**
** Revision 1.8  1997/05/16 08:23:46  andreas
** - Revised handling of GroupLength elements and support of
**   DataSetTrailingPadding elements. The enumeratio E_GrpLenEncoding
**   got additional enumeration values (for a description see dctypes.h).
**   addGroupLength and removeGroupLength methods are replaced by
**   computeGroupLengthAndPadding. To support Padding, the parameters of
**   element and sequence write functions changed.
** - Added a new method calcElementLength to calculate the length of an
**   element, item or sequence. For elements it returns the length of
**   tag, length field, vr field, and value length, for item and
**   sequences it returns the length of the whole item. sequence including
**   the Delimitation tag (if appropriate).  It can never return
**   UndefinedLength.
**
** Revision 1.7  1997/04/18 08:13:28  andreas
** - The put/get-methods for all VRs did not conform to the C++-Standard
**   draft. Some Compilers (e.g. SUN-C++ Compiler, Metroworks
**   CodeWarrier, etc.) create many warnings concerning the hiding of
**   overloaded get methods in all derived classes of DcmElement.
**   So the interface of all value representation classes in the
**   library are changed rapidly, e.g.
**   OFCondition get(Uint16 & value, const unsigned long pos);
**   becomes
**   OFCondition getUint16(Uint16 & value, const unsigned long pos);
**   All (retired) "returntype get(...)" methods are deleted.
**   For more information see dcmdata/include/dcelem.h
**
** Revision 1.6  1996/07/17 12:38:58  andreas
** new nextObject to iterate a DicomDataset, DicomFileFormat, Item, ...
**
** Revision 1.5  1996/04/16 16:01:36  andreas
** - put methods for AttributeTag with DcmTagKey Parameter
** - better support for NULL values
**
** Revision 1.4  1996/03/12 15:31:56  hewett
** The base virtual get & put functions now support char*.
**
** Revision 1.3  1996/01/05 13:22:55  andreas
** - changed to support new streaming facilities
** - more cleanups
** - merged read / write methods for block and file transfer
**
