// Function: newDicomElement
// creates a new DicomElement from a Tag.
//
// Input:
//   tag    : Tag of the new element
//   length : length of the element value
//
// Output:
//   newElement: point of a heap allocated new element. If the tag does not

//   EC_InvalidTag: tag describes an item begin or an unknown element
//   EC_SequEnd:    tag describes a sequence delimitation element
//   EC_ItemEnd:    tag describes an item delmitation element

** Changed include path schema for all DCMTK header files
**
** Revision 1.52  2005/11/15 18:28:02  meichel
** Added new global flag dcmEnableUnknownVRConversion that enables the automatic
**   re-conversion of defined length UN elements read in an explicit VR transfer
**   syntax, if the real VR is defined in the data dictionary. Default is OFFalse,

**
** Revision 1.26  2001/06/01 15:48:40  meichel

**
** Revision 1.22  2000/03/03 14:05:24  meichel

**   instead of printing them to stdout/stderr for GUI applications.
**

** Added new feature to dcmdump (enhanced print method of dcmdata): write
** pixel data/item value fields to raw files.
**
** Revision 1.20  1999/03/31 09:24:40  meichel
** Updated copyright header in module dcmdata
**
** Revision 1.19  1998/07/15 15:48:48  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 1.18  1997/09/22 14:50:43  hewett
** - Added 2 simple methods to test for the existance of an attribute
**   to DcmItem class (tagExists and tagExistsWithValue).  This code
**   was part of dcmgpdir.cc but is more generally useful.
** - Added 2 methods to find an attribute and retrieve numeric values
**   to DcmItem class (findIntegerNumber and findRealNumber).  The old
**   method findLong is now marked as obsolete and reimplemented using
**   findIntegerNumber.
**
** Revision 1.17  1997/09/11 15:13:11  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 1.16  1997/08/29 08:32:39  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 1.15  1997/07/21 08:25:08  andreas
** - Replace all boolean types (BOOLEAN, CTNBOOLEAN, DICOM_BOOL, BOOL)
**   with one unique boolean type OFBool.
**
** Revision 1.14  1997/07/07 07:42:03  andreas
** - Changed parameter type DcmTag & to DcmTagKey & in all search functions
**   in DcmItem, DcmSequenceOfItems, DcmDirectoryRecord and DcmObject
**
** Revision 1.13  1997/05/30 06:45:42  andreas
** - fixed problem of inconsistent interfaces and implementation that the
**   syntax check of GNU C++ does not find.
**
** Revision 1.12  1997/05/27 13:48:28  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 1.11  1997/05/16 08:13:43  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.
** - Deleted obsolete method DcmItem::calcHeaderLength because the
**   samce functionality is performed by DcmXfer::sizeofTagHeader
**
** Revision 1.10  1996/08/05 08:45:23  andreas
** new print routine with additional parameters:
**         - print into files
**         - fix output length for elements
** corrected error in search routine with parameter ESM_fromStackTop
**
** Revision 1.9  1996/07/17 12:38:58  andreas
** new nextObject to iterate a DicomDataset, DicomFileFormat, Item, ...
**
** Revision 1.8  1996/04/29 15:08:53  hewett
** Replaced DcmItem::findInt(...) with the more general DcmItem::findLong(...).
**
** Revision 1.7  1996/04/16 16:00:05  andreas
** - added const for Tag in newDicomElement
**
** Revision 1.6  1996/03/28 18:52:30  hewett
** Added 2 simple find&get methods (findString & findInt).
**
** Revision 1.5  1996/01/29 13:38:12  andreas
** - new put method for every VR to put value as a string
** - better and unique print methods
**
** Revision 1.4  1996/01/09 11:06:15  andreas
** New Support for Visual C++
** Correct problems with inconsistent const declarations
**
** Revision 1.3  1996/01/05 13:22:56  andreas
** - changed to support new streaming facilities
** - more cleanups
** - merged read / write methods for block and file transfer
