## Detailed Description

The class DcmPixelData stores different pixel representations identified by a type (the transfer syntax) and some representation parameters The three unencapsulated transfer syntaxes belong to the same pixel representation.

A type (or transfer syntax) conforms to a representation if the type and the representation type are equal or both are unencapsulated. If this is valid for the representation read or set by chooseRepresentation then this representation is the conforming representation. else a representation with the default parameter set defined in the codec is the conforming representation.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## ◆ DcmPixelData() [1/2]

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

constructor.

Create new element from given tag and length.

Parameters

  tag | attribute tag
  len | length of the attribute value

Referenced by DcmPixelData(), clone(), and operator=().

## ◆ DcmPixelData() [2/2]

DcmPixelData::DcmPixelData | ( | const DcmPixelData & | pixelData | ) |

copy constructor

Parameters

  pixelData | element to be copied

References DcmPixelData().

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ calcElementLength()

virtual Uint32 DcmPixelData::calcElementLength | ( | const E_TransferSyntax | xfer,
|  | const E_EncodingType | enctype )
| virtual

calculate the length of this DICOM element when encoded with the given transfer syntax and the given encoding type for sequences.

For elements, the length includes the length of the tag, length field, VR field and the value itself, for items and sequences it returns the length of the complete item or sequence including delimitation tags if applicable.

Warning
  Since calcElementLength() returns a 32 bit integer, an overflow during calculation is possible for some derived classes that actually represent a compound value (e.g. items like DcmPixelItem). Such overflows will be detected, in which case the maximum possible value will be returned instead, coinciding with DCM_UndefinedLength.
  The implementation in DcmPixelData may return zero if no conforming representation exists and set the EC_RepresentationNotFound error flag to indicated it.
  When calculation the length of a sequence or an item containing multiple attributes, the implementation may return DCM_UndefinedLength to indicate a value that can not be encoded as a 32 bit length field. It will even do so if "dcmWriteOversizedSeqsAndItemsUndefined" is disabled, but then also set the EC_SeqOrItemContentOverflow error flag (inside getLength()) to indicated it.

Note
  Just check for zero or DCM_UndefinedLength return value and then have a look at the error flag in either case.

Parameters

  xfer | transfer syntax for length calculation
  enctype | sequence encoding type for length calculation

Returns
  length of DICOM element

Reimplemented from DcmElement.

## ◆ canChooseRepresentation()

OFBool DcmPixelData::canChooseRepresentation | ( | const E_TransferSyntax | repType,

## ◆ canWriteXfer()

virtual OFBool DcmPixelData::canWriteXfer | ( | const E_TransferSyntax | newXfer,
|  | const E_TransferSyntax | oldXfer )
| virtual

tests if it is possible to write a specific representation Only existing representations are considered, since this method does not create a representation.

Parameters

  newXfer | the syntax to be checked

Reimplemented from DcmOtherByteOtherWord.

## ◆ chooseRepresentation()

OFCondition DcmPixelData::chooseRepresentation | ( | const E_TransferSyntax | repType,

  The direct call of this method by user code is deprecated. Use DcmDataset::chooseRepresentation() instead.

@repType the representation type @repParam the representation parameters @stack the object stack

virtual int DcmPixelData::compare | ( | const DcmElement & | rhs | ) | const
| virtual

comparison operator that compares the value of this element with a given element of the same type (e.g.

an DcmPixelData with a DcmPixelData). 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). The DcmPixelData implementation checks whether the uncompressed data of both objects are identical, and if not provided, if the compressed data of both objects is the same, by comparing the pixel items bytewise.

Parameters

  rhs | the right hand side of the comparison

Returns
  0 if the object values are equal. -1 is returned if rhs is considered greater than this object. 1 is returned if rhs is considered smaller than this object.

## ◆ copyFrom()

virtual OFCondition DcmPixelData::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 DcmPolymorphOBOW.

| virtual

access single frame without decompressing or loading a complete multi-frame object.

The frame is copied into the buffer passed by the caller which must be large enough to contain a complete frame.

Parameters

  dataset | pointer to DICOM dataset in which this pixel data object is located. Used to access rows, columns, samples per pixel etc.
  frameNo | number of frame, starting with 0 for the first frame.
  startFragment | index of the compressed fragment that contains all or the first part of the compressed bitstream for the given frameNo. Upon successful return this parameter is updated to contain the index of the first compressed fragment of the next frame. When unknown, zero should be passed. In this case the decompression algorithm will try to determine the index by itself, which will always work if frames are decompressed in increasing order from first to last, but may fail if frames are decompressed in random order, multiple fragments per frame and multiple frames are present in the dataset, and the offset table is empty.
  buffer | pointer to buffer allocated by the caller. The buffer must be large enough for one frame of this image.
  bufSize | size of buffer, in bytes. This number must be even so that the data can properly be converted to a different endianness.
  decompressedColorModel | upon successful return, the color model of the decompressed image (which may be different from the one used in the compressed images) is returned in this parameter.
  cache | file cache object that may be passed to multiple subsequent calls to this method for the same file; the file cache will then keep a file handle open, thus improving performance. Optional, may be NULL
