Class OtherByteAttributeMultipleFrameArrays


  • public class OtherByteAttributeMultipleFrameArrays
    extends Attribute

    A concrete class specializing Attribute for Other Byte (OB) attributes whose values are an array of bytes per frame rather than a single contiguous array containing all frames.

    See Also:
    Attribute, AttributeFactory, AttributeList
    • Constructor Detail

      • OtherByteAttributeMultipleFrameArrays

        public OtherByteAttributeMultipleFrameArrays​(AttributeTag t)

        Construct an (empty) attribute.

        Parameters:
        t - the tag of the attribute
    • Method Detail

      • getPaddedVL

        public long getPaddedVL()
        Description copied from class: Attribute

        Get the value length of this attribute, accounting for the need for even-length padding.

        Overrides:
        getPaddedVL in class Attribute
        Returns:
        the value length (padded to an even length)
      • toString

        public java.lang.String toString​(DicomDictionary dictionary)
        Description copied from class: Attribute

        Dump the contents of the attribute as a human-readable string.

        No new line is appended.

        The result is of the form:

         (0xgggg,0xeeee) Name VR=<XX> VL=<0xnnnn> <...>
         

        For example:

         (0x0018,0x0020) ScanningSequence VR=<CS> VL=<0x2> <GR>
         
        Overrides:
        toString in class Attribute
        Parameters:
        dictionary - the dictionary to use to look up the name
        Returns:
        a single String value
      • getByteValuesPerFrame

        public byte[][] getByteValuesPerFrame()
                                       throws DicomException

        Get the values of this attribute as multiple byte arrays, one per frame.

        Caller does not need to supply the number for frames since known when this attribute was created.

        This allocates a new array of sufficient length, which may fail if it is too large, and defeats the point of leaving the byte values on disk in the first place. However, it is a fallback for when the caller does not want to go to the trouble of creating a MappedByteBuffer from the file, or more likely is not even aware that the attribute values have been left on disk.

        Returns:
        the values as an array of arrays of bytes
        Throws:
        DicomException - thrown if values cannot be read
      • removeValues

        public void removeValues()
        Description copied from class: Attribute

        Remove any existing values, making the attribute empty (zero length).

        Specified by:
        removeValues in class Attribute
      • getVR

        public byte[] getVR()

        Get the value representation of this attribute (OB).

        Overrides:
        getVR in class Attribute
        Returns:
        'O','B' in ASCII as a two byte array; see ValueRepresentation
