Detailed Description

a class representing the DICOM value representation 'Other Float String' (OF)

---

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

DcmOtherFloat::DcmOtherFloat	(	const DcmTag &	tag,
		const Uint32	len = 0
	)

constructor.

Create new element from given tag and length.

Parameters:

tag	DICOM tag for the new element
len	value length for the new element

DcmOtherFloat::DcmOtherFloat

(

const DcmOtherFloat &

old

)

copy constructor

Parameters:

old	element to be copied

Member Function Documentation

virtual OFCondition DcmOtherFloat::checkValue	(	const OFString &	vm = "",
		const OFBool	oldFormat = OFFalse
	)		[virtual]

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

Parameters:

vm	parameter not used for this VR
oldFormat	parameter not used for this VR (only for DA, TM, PN)

Returns:

always returns EC_Normal, i.e. currently no checks are performed

Reimplemented from DcmFloatingPointSingle.

virtual DcmObject* DcmOtherFloat::clone

(

)

const [inline, virtual]

clone method

Returns:

deep copy of this object

Reimplemented from DcmFloatingPointSingle.

virtual OFCondition DcmOtherFloat::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 DcmFloatingPointSingle.

virtual unsigned long DcmOtherFloat::getVM

(

)

[virtual]

get value multiplicity

Returns:

always returns 1 (according to the DICOM standard)

Reimplemented from DcmFloatingPointSingle.

virtual DcmEVR DcmOtherFloat::ident

(

)

const [virtual]

get element type identifier

Returns:

type identifier of this class (EVR_OF)

Reimplemented from DcmFloatingPointSingle.

DcmOtherFloat& DcmOtherFloat::operator=

(

const DcmOtherFloat &

obj

)

assignment operator

Parameters:

obj	element to be assigned/copied

Returns:

reference to this object

virtual OFCondition DcmOtherFloat::writeXML	(	STD_NAMESPACE ostream &	out,
		const size_t	flags = 0
	)		[virtual]

write object in XML format to a stream

Parameters:

out	output stream to which the XML document is written
flags	optional flag used to customize the output (see DCMTypes::XF_xxx)

Returns:

status, EC_Normal if successful, an error code otherwise

Reimplemented from DcmElement.
