Detailed Description

this class implements support for DICOMDIR files, which are special DICOM files containing a list of directory records, with a logical tree structure being implemented through references between records as byte offsets in file.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

DcmDicomDir() [1/2]

DcmDicomDir::DcmDicomDir	(	const OFFilename &	fileName,
		const char *	fileSetID = NULL
	)

constructor

Parameters

fileName	filename to read a DICOMDIR from. If empty, an attempt is made to read file DEFAULT_DICOMDIR_NAME ("DICOMDIR").
fileSetID	file set ID of this file set, used only for new DICOMDIRs

DcmDicomDir() [2/2]

DcmDicomDir::DcmDicomDir ( const DcmDicomDir &  newDir )

private

private undefined copy constructor

Parameters

newDir

documented to avoid doxygen warnings

Member Function Documentation

getDirFileFormat()

virtual DcmFileFormat& DcmDicomDir::getDirFileFormat ( )

virtual

returns reference to DICOM file from which DICOMDIR was read.

Note, this file may be obsolete if the DICOMDIR was modified

Returns

reference to DICOM file

getDirFileName()

virtual const OFFilename& DcmDicomDir::getDirFileName ( )

virtual

returns file name from which DICOMDIR was read.

Returns

filename of DICOMDIR

matchFilename()

virtual DcmDirectoryRecord* DcmDicomDir::matchFilename ( const char *  filename )

virtual

look up directory record for the given referenced file ID (not OS file path)

Parameters

filename

the file to take the id from

Returns

directory record if found, NULL otherwise

matchOrCreateMRDR()

virtual DcmDirectoryRecord* DcmDicomDir::matchOrCreateMRDR ( const char *  filename )

virtual

look up MRDR for the given referenced file ID (not OS file path).

If there is none yet, create one.

Parameters

filename

the file to take the id from

Returns

MRDR for given referenced file ID

print()

virtual void DcmDicomDir::print ( STD_NAMESPACE ostream &  out, const size_t  flags = 0, const int  level = 0, const char *  pixelFileName = NULL, size_t *  pixelCounter = NULL  )

virtual

print all elements of the item to a stream

Parameters

out	output stream
flags	optional flag used to customize the output (see DCMTypes::PF_xxx)
level	current level of nested items. Used for indentation.
pixelFileName	not used
pixelCounter	not used

verify()

virtual OFCondition DcmDicomDir::verify ( OFBool  autocorrect = OFFalse )

virtual

check the currently stored element value

Parameters

autocorrect

correct value length if OFTrue

Returns

status, EC_Normal if value length is correct, an error code otherwise

write()

virtual OFCondition DcmDicomDir::write ( const E_TransferSyntax  oxfer = DICOMDIR_DEFAULT_TRANSFERSYNTAX, const E_EncodingType  enctype = EET_UndefinedLength, const E_GrpLenEncoding  glenc = EGL_withoutGL  )

virtual

writes DICOMDIR to file

Parameters

oxfer	must be DICOMDIR_DEFAULT_TRANSFERSYNTAX
enctype	encoding type for sequences
glenc	encoding type for group lengths

Returns

status, EC_Normal if value length is correct, an error code otherwise

Member Data Documentation

modified

OFBool DcmDicomDir::modified

private

flag indicating whether or not this DICOMDIR has been modified after being read from file.

If true, the destructor of this class will write the modified DICOMDIR back to file
