** CVS/RCS Log:
** $Log: dcvrui.h,v $

** Updated copyright header. Added reference to COPYRIGHT file.
**
** Revision 1.28  2010-04-23 15:26:13  joergr
** Specify an appropriate default value for the "vm" parameter of checkValue().
**
** Revision 1.27  2010-04-23 14:25:27  joergr
** Added new method to all VR classes which checks whether the stored value
** conforms to the VR definition and to the specified VM.
**
** Revision 1.26  2010-04-22 09:31:30  joergr
** Revised misleading parameter documentation for the checkValue() method.
**
** Revision 1.25  2010-04-22 08:59:11  joergr
** Added support for further VM values ("1-8", "1-99", "16", "32") to be checked.
**
** Revision 1.24  2009-08-03 09:05:30  joergr
** Added methods that check whether a given string value conforms to the VR and
** VM definitions of the DICOM standards.
**
** Revision 1.23  2008-07-17 11:19:49  onken
** Updated copyFrom() documentation.
**
** Revision 1.22  2008-07-17 10:30:23  onken
** Implemented copyFrom() method for complete DcmObject class hierarchy, which
** permits setting an instance's value from an existing object. Implemented
** assignment operator where necessary.
**
** Revision 1.21  2006-08-15 15:49:56  meichel
** Updated all code in module dcmdata to correctly compile when
**   all standard C++ classes remain in namespace std.
**
** Revision 1.20  2005/12/08 16:29:12  meichel
** Changed include path schema for all DCMTK header files
**
** Revision 1.19  2004/07/01 12:28:25  meichel
** Introduced virtual clone method for DcmObject and derived classes.
**
** Revision 1.18  2002/12/06 12:49:19  joergr
** Enhanced "print()" function by re-working the implementation and replacing
** the boolean "showFullData" parameter by a more general integer flag.
** Added doc++ documentation.
** Made source code formatting more consistent with other modules/files.
**
** Revision 1.17  2002/04/25 10:01:21  joergr
** Made makeMachineByteString() virtual to avoid ambiguities.
**
** Revision 1.16  2001/09/25 17:19:35  meichel
** Adapted dcmdata to class OFCondition
**
** Revision 1.15  2001/06/01 15:48:53  meichel
** Updated copyright header
**
** Revision 1.14  2000/04/14 15:31:35  meichel
** Removed default value from output stream passed to print() method.
**   Required for use in multi-thread environments.
**
** Revision 1.13  2000/03/08 16:26:27  meichel
** Updated copyright header.
**
** Revision 1.12  2000/03/03 14:05:28  meichel
** Implemented library support for redirecting error messages into memory
**   instead of printing them to stdout/stderr for GUI applications.
**
** Revision 1.11  2000/02/10 10:50:56  joergr
** Added new feature to dcmdump (enhanced print method of dcmdata): write
** pixel data/item value fields to raw files.
**
** Revision 1.10  1999/03/31 09:25:09  meichel
** Updated copyright header in module dcmdata
**
** Revision 1.9  1998/11/12 16:47:56  meichel
** Implemented operator= for all classes derived from DcmObject.
**
** Revision 1.8  1997/07/21 08:25:16  andreas
** - Replace all boolean types (BOOLEAN, CTNBOOLEAN, DICOM_BOOL, BOOL)
**   with one unique boolean type OFBool.
**
** Revision 1.7  1997/04/18 08:13:33  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  1996/08/05 08:45:38  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 1.5  1996/05/30 17:19:22  hewett
** Added a makeMachineByteString() method to strip and trailing whitespace
** from a UID.
**
** Revision 1.4  1996/01/29 13:38:18  andreas
** - new put method for every VR to put value as a string
** - better and unique print methods
**
** Revision 1.3  1996/01/05 13:23:10  andreas
** - changed to support new streaming facilities
** - more cleanups
** - merged read / write methods for block and file transfer
