Detailed Description

a class representing the DICOM value representation 'Short Text' (ST)

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ DcmShortText() [1/2]

DcmShortText::DcmShortText ( const DcmTag tag,
const Uint32  len = 0 
)

constructor.

Create new element from given tag and length.

Parameters
tagDICOM tag for the new element
lenvalue length for the new element

◆ DcmShortText() [2/2]

DcmShortText::DcmShortText ( const DcmShortText old)

copy constructor

Parameters
oldelement to be copied

Member Function Documentation

◆ checkStringValue()

static OFCondition DcmShortText::checkStringValue ( const OFString value,
const OFString charset = "" 
)
static

check whether given string value conforms to the VR "ST" (Short Text)

Parameters
valuestring value to be checked
charsetcharacter set (according to the value of the SpecificCharacterSet element) to be used for checking the string value. The default is ASCII (7-bit). Currently, the VR checker only supports ASCII (ISO_IR 6) and Latin-1 (ISO_IR 100). All other values disable the check of the value representation, e.g. "UNKNOWN".
Returns
status of the check, EC_Normal if value is correct, an error code otherwise

◆ checkValue()

virtual OFCondition DcmShortText::checkValue ( const OFString vm = "",
const OFBool  oldFormat = OFFalse 
)
virtual

check whether stored value conforms to the VR and to the specified VM.

Currently, the VR checker only supports ASCII (ISO_IR 6) and Latin-1 (ISO_IR 100). All other specific character sets disable the check of the value representation.

Parameters
vmparameter not used for this VR
oldFormatparameter not used for this VR (only for DA, TM)
Returns
status of the check, EC_Normal if value is correct, an error code otherwise

Reimplemented from DcmElement.

◆ clone()

virtual DcmObject* DcmShortText::clone ( ) const
inlinevirtual

clone method

Returns
deep copy of this object

Reimplemented from DcmCharString.

◆ compare()

virtual int DcmShortText::compare ( const DcmElement rhs) const
virtual

comparison operator that compares the normalized value of this object with a given object of the same type.

The tag of the element is also considered as the first component that is compared, followed by the object types (VR, i.e. DCMTK'S EVR) and the comparison of all value components of the object, preferably in the order declared in the object (if applicable).

Parameters
rhsthe right hand side of the comparison
Returns
0 if the object values are equal. -1 if this element has fewer components than the rhs element. Also -1 if the value of the first component that does not match is lower in this object than in rhs. Also returned if rhs cannot be casted to this object type or both objects are of different VR (i.e. the DcmEVR returned by the element's ident() call are different). 1 if either this element has more components than the rhs element, or if the first component that does not match is greater in this object than in rhs object.

Reimplemented from DcmByteString.

◆ copyFrom()

virtual OFCondition DcmShortText::copyFrom ( const DcmObject rhs)
virtual

Virtual object copying.

This method can be used for DcmObject and derived classes to get a deep copy of an object. Internally the assignment operator is called if the given DcmObject parameter is of the same type as "this" object instance. If not, an error is returned. This function permits copying an object by value in a virtual way which therefore is different to just calling the assignment operator of DcmElement which could result in slicing the object.

Parameters
rhs- [in] The instance to copy from. Has to be of the same class type as "this" object
Returns
EC_Normal if copying was successful, error otherwise

Reimplemented from DcmCharString.

◆ getOFString()

virtual OFCondition DcmShortText::getOFString ( OFString stringVal,
const unsigned long  pos,
OFBool  normalize = OFTrue 
)
virtual

get a copy of a particular string component

Parameters
stringValvariable in which the result value is stored
posindex of the value in case of multi-valued elements (0..vm-1)
normalizedelete leading and trailing spaces if OFTrue
Returns
status, EC_Normal if successful, an error code otherwise

Reimplemented from DcmByteString.

◆ getOFStringArray()

virtual OFCondition DcmShortText::getOFStringArray ( OFString stringVal,
OFBool  normalize = OFTrue 
)
virtual

get the string value (all components)

Parameters
stringValstring variable in which the result value is stored
normalizeremove trailing spaces if OFTrue
Returns
status, EC_Normal if successful, an error code otherwise

Reimplemented from DcmByteString.

◆ getVM()

virtual unsigned long DcmShortText::getVM ( )
virtual

get the value multiplicity.
