Detailed Description

Class to represent a Data Element either Implicit or Explicit.

DATA ELEMENT: A unit of information as defined by a single entry in the data dictionary. An encoded Information Object Definition (IOD) Attribute that is composed of, at a minimum, three fields: a Data Element Tag, a Value Length, and a Value Field. For some specific Transfer Syntaxes, a Data Element also contains a VR Field where the Value Representation of that Data Element is specified explicitly.

gdcm::DataElement::DataElement ( const Tag t = Tag(0),
const VL vl = 0,
const VR vr = VR::INVALID 
) [inline]
gdcm::DataElement::DataElement ( const DataElement _val ) [inline]

Member Function Documentation

void gdcm::DataElement::Clear (  ) [inline]

Clear Data Element (make Value empty and invalidate Tag & VR)

Reimplemented in gdcm::Item.

References gdcm::VR::INVALID.

void gdcm::DataElement::Empty (  ) [inline]

Make Data Element empty (no Value)

const ByteValue* gdcm::DataElement::GetByteValue (  ) const [inline]
ByteValue* gdcm::DataElement::GetByteValue (  ) [inline]
template<typename TDE >
VL gdcm::DataElement::GetLength (  ) const [inline]
const SequenceOfFragments* gdcm::DataElement::GetSequenceOfFragments (  ) const

Return the Value of DataElement as a Sequence Of Fragments (if possible)

Warning:
: You need to check for NULL return value
Examples:
FixBrokenJ2K.cxx, and GetJPEGSamplePrecision.cxx.
const SequenceOfItems* gdcm::DataElement::GetSequenceOfItems (  ) const

Return the Value of DataElement as a Sequence Of Items (if possible)

Warning:
: You need to check for NULL return value
: In some case a Value could not have been recognized as a SequenceOfItems in those case the return of the function will be NULL, while the Value would be a valid SequenceOfItems, in those case prefer GetValueAsSQ. In which case the code internally trigger an assert to warn developper. When in doubt do not use this function and prefer GetValueAsSQ()
Deprecated:
Replaced by DataElement::GetValueAsSQ() as of GDCM 2.2.
SequenceOfItems* gdcm::DataElement::GetSequenceOfItems (  )
Tag& gdcm::DataElement::GetTag (  ) [inline]
const Tag& gdcm::DataElement::GetTag (  ) const [inline]
Value const& gdcm::DataElement::GetValue (  ) const [inline]

Set/Get Value (bytes array, SQ of items, SQ of fragments):

Referenced by gdcm::DataSet::InsertDataElement(), and gdcm::Element< VR::OB, VM::VM1_n >::SetFromDataElement().

Value& gdcm::DataElement::GetValue (  ) [inline]
SmartPointer<SequenceOfItems> gdcm::DataElement::GetValueAsSQ (  ) const

Interpret the Value stored in the DataElement. This is more robust (but also more expensive) to call this function rather than the simpliest form: GetSequenceOfItems() It also return NULL when the Value is NOT of type SequenceOfItems

Warning:
in case GetSequenceOfItems() succeed the function return this value, otherwise it creates a new SequenceOfItems, you should handle that in your case, for instance: SmartPointer<SequenceOfItems> sqi = de.GetValueAsSQ();
Examples:
ChangeSequenceUltrasound.cxx, ExtractEncryptedContent.cxx, gdcmrtionplan.cxx, gdcmrtplan.cxx, GetSequenceUltrasound.cxx, LargeVRDSExplicit.cxx, and ReadAndDumpDICOMDIR.cxx.
const VL& gdcm::DataElement::GetVL (  ) const [inline]

VR const& gdcm::DataElement::GetVR (  ) const [inline]
bool gdcm::DataElement::IsEmpty (  ) const [inline]
bool gdcm::DataElement::IsUndefinedLength (  ) const [inline]

return if Value Length if of undefined length

bool gdcm::DataElement::operator< ( const DataElement de ) const [inline]

void gdcm::DataElement::SetByteValue ( const char *  array,
VL  length 
) [inline]
void gdcm::DataElement::SetTag ( const Tag t ) [inline]

Set Tag Use with cautious (need to match Part 6)

Examples:
GenFakeIdentifyFile.cxx.
void gdcm::DataElement::SetValue ( Value const &  vl ) [inline]
Warning:
you need to set the ValueLengthField explicitely
Examples:
FixBrokenJ2K.cxx, GenFakeIdentifyFile.cxx, and GenSeqs.cxx.

References gdcm::Value::GetLength().

void gdcm::DataElement::SetVL ( const VL vl ) [inline]

Set VL Use with cautious (need to match Part 6), advanced user only

See also:
SetByteValue
void gdcm::DataElement::SetVLToUndefined (  )
void gdcm::DataElement::SetVR ( VR const &  vr ) [inline]

Set VR Use with cautious (need to match Part 6), advanced user only

Precondition:
vr is a VR::VRALL (not a dual one such as OB_OW)
Examples:
FixBrokenJ2K.cxx, GenFakeIdentifyFile.cxx, and GenSeqs.cxx.
