[Insight-developers] [GDCM] Writting DICOM from scratch

[Mathieu Malaterre]

Hello,

	Since gdcm 1.0 allows one to writea DICOM image from scratch I would 
like to pull the functionality in the itkGDCM class. therefore user will 
have two options:

1. Carry the DICOM Dictionary around through the MetaData Dictionary. 
And Set it properly in the Writer.

2. Or use the ImageIOFactory and it will instanciate (based on .dcm 
extension) an itkGDCMImageIO, with a DICOM dictionary created from scratch.


Option 2. Is great if you don't have access to a 'template' DICOM image 
that you would reuse to write your DICOM image. But for now it is far 
from complete. For example DICOM requires that an image has an 
orientation. And right now I cannot get this information from nowhere.

Anyway I would still like to push the functionality in CVS HEAD.

Mathieu
