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.
rhs | - [in] The instance to copy from. Has to be of the same class type as "this" object |
Implemented in DcmUnsigned64bitVeryLong, DcmUnlimitedText, DcmUnsignedShort, DcmUniversalResourceIdentifierOrLocator, DcmUnsignedLongOffset, DcmUnsignedLong, DcmUniqueIdentifier, DcmUnlimitedCharacters, DcmTime, DcmSigned64bitVeryLong, DcmShortText, DcmSignedShort, DcmSignedLong, DcmShortString, DcmPolymorphOBOW, DcmPersonName, DcmOther64bitVeryLong, DcmOtherLong, DcmOtherFloat, DcmOtherDouble, DcmOtherByteOtherWord, DcmLongText, DcmLongString, DcmIntegerString, DcmFloatingPointSingle, DcmFloatingPointDouble, DcmDateTime, DcmDecimalString, DcmDate, DcmCodeString, DcmAttributeTag, DcmAgeString, DcmApplicationEntity, DcmSequenceOfItems, DcmPixelItem, DcmPixelSequence, DcmPixelData, DcmOverlayData, DcmMetaInfo, DcmItem, DcmFileFormat, DcmElement, DcmDirectoryRecord, DcmDataset, DcmCharString, and DcmByteString.

pure virtual |
this method loads all attribute values maintained by this object and all sub-objects (in case of a container such as DcmDataset) into memory.
After a call to this method, the file from which a dataset was read may safely be deleted or replaced. For large files, this method may obviously allocate large amounts of memory.
Implemented in DcmSequenceOfItems, DcmPixelData, DcmItem, and DcmElement.
this method is only used in container classes derived from this class, that is, DcmItem and DcmSequenceOfItems.
It returns a pointer to the next object in the list AFTER the given object. If the caller passes NULL, a pointer to the first object in the list is returned. If the given object is not found, the given object is the last one in the list or the list is empty, NULL is returned.
obj | pointer to one object in the container; we are looking for the next entry after this one. NULL if looking for the first entry. |
Reimplemented in DcmSequenceOfItems, and DcmItem.
|
virtual |
this method enables a stack based, depth-first traversal of a complete hierarchical DICOM dataset (that is, classes derived from DcmItem or DcmSequenceOfItems).
With each call of this method, the next object in the tree is located and marked on the stack.
stack | "cursor" for current position in the dataset. The stack will contain a pointer to each dataset, sequence, item and element from the main dataset down to the current element, and is updated upon each call to this method. An empty stack is equivalent to a stack containing a pointer to this object only. |
intoSub | if true, the nextObject method will perform a hierarchical search through the dataset (depth-first), if false, only the current container object will be traversed (e.g., all elements of an item or all items of a sequence). |

a complex, stack-based, hierarchical search method.
It allows for a search for a DICOM object with a given attribute within a given container, hierarchically, from a starting position identified through a cursor stack.
xtag | the DICOM attribute tag we are searching for |
resultStack | Depending on the search mode (see below), this parameter either serves as an input and output parameter, or as an output parameter only (the latter being the default). When used as an input parameter, the cursor stack defines the start position for the search within a hierarchical DICOM dataset. Upon successful return, the stack contains the position of the element found, in the form of a pointer to each dataset, sequence, item and element from the main dataset down to the found element. |
mode | search mode, controls how the search stack is handled. In the default mode, ESM_fromHere, the stack is ignored on input, and the search starts in the object for which this method is called. In the other modes, the stack is used both as an input and an output parameter and defines the starting point for the search. |
searchIntoSub | if true, the search will be performed hierarchically descending into the sequences and items of the dataset. If false, only the current container (sequence or item) will be traversed. |
Reimplemented in DcmSequenceOfItems, DcmItem, and DcmDirectoryRecord.
