L_DicomInsertTag

#include "Ltdic.h"

L_LTDIC_API pDICOMTAG L_DicomInsertTag(nCode, nMask, pszName, nVR, nMinVM, nMaxVM, nDivideVM)

L_UINT32 nCode;	code
L_UINT32 nMask;	masking value
L_TCHAR * pszName;	name of the tag
L_UINT16 nVR;	value representation
L_UINT32 nMinVM;	minimum value multiplicity
L_UINT32 nMaxVM;	maximum value multiplicity
L_UINT32 nDivideVM;	value used to divide the value multiplicity

Inserts a new item in the Data Element Tag Table.

Parameter	Description
nCode	Code that indicates the tag. For a list of default values, refer to Data Element Tag Constants.
nMask	Masking value. Masking allows you to insert multiple elements in the same entry in the table.
pszName	Character string that contains the name of the tag. To see the default values for the Tag Names, refer to the Default Data Element Tag Table.
nVR	Value representation code that indicates the type of value stored in the data element. For a list of default values supported by DICOM, refer to Value Representation Constants.
nMinVM	Value that indicates the minimum number of values that may be stored in the Value Field of the Data Element.
nMaxVM	Value that indicates the maximum number of values that may be stored in the Value Field of the Data Element.
nDivideVM	Value used to divide the value multiplicity. When multiple values are stored in the value field of a data element, the number of values present must be evenly divisible by nDivideVM. For most items nDivideVM will be 1. However, if the values stored in the value field are RGB triplets, for example, you would have to store three values for each triplet. You could store 12 values, since 12 values would be 4 triplets, however, you could not store 13 values. In this case nDivideVM would be 3.

Returns

!NULL	A pointer to a DICOMVR structure containing the newly inserted item.
NULL	Not enough memory to insert the item.

Comments

All items are inserted at the bottom of the table.

To see the default values for the Data Element Tag Table, refer to the Default Data Element Tag Table.

Example

This example inserts 2 new items in the Tag table

L_INT DicomInsertTagExample(L_VOID) 
{ 
   pDICOMTAG pTemp = NULL; 
   pTemp = L_DicomInsertTag(0x12345678, 0xFFFFFFFF, TEXT("New XXX Tag"), VR_US, 1, 1, 1); 
   if (pTemp == NULL) 
      return DICOM_ERROR_MEMORY; 
   pTemp = L_DicomInsertTag(0x87654321, 0xFFFFFFFF, TEXT("New YYY Tag"), VR_LO, 1, 1, 1); 
   if (pTemp == NULL) 
      return DICOM_ERROR_MEMORY; 
   return DICOM_SUCCESS; 
}
