The QTPlgDicomDataChunks is an utility class that represents the way used by the plugin to refers to chunks of data contained into a DICOM structure.

Since version 6.3 of the plugin this class can be used in Console Applications






The QTPlgDicomDataChunks class has not constructor at all (you can always use the Realbasic common constructor syntax, of course, but you will obtain an usless object). Its destructor, will be implicitly invoked every time one of its derived classes will be destroyed.
However, once a new class instance is returned, it is good practice to check the class property to be sure that the new object can be used. A QTPlgDicomPixelData object is valid if it refers to some chunks of data (the class property is greater than 0).

specifies the path to the file (if any) that actually stores the chunks of data
returns informations about the used for data
specifies if the data have variable size (that is they are compressed by some compression algorithm); this being the case, you can inspect the property to get more informations about the type of compression algorithm used
specifies if the byte order of the stored data is different with respect to the current OS; if it is, the data have to be swapped before using
determines the total number of data chunks
determines if the data chunk identified by the index i is active or has to be ignored during usage; index i ranges from 0 to –1
indicates the position of the data chunk identified by the index i within the container it belongs to; index i ranges from 0 to –1
indicates the size, in bytes, of the data chunk identified by the index i; such a index ranges from 0 to –1
