DcmFileFormat::saveBuffer(... ???

[artemmikheev]

I need a function that saves DcmFileFormat object to memory buffer. Presently I used DcmFileFormat::saveFile()
For my scenario it is more efficient to save (000s) DcmFileFormat objects,one at a time, into a single BYTE* memory
buffer, something like DcmFileFormat::saveBuffer( BYTE* Buf,....)

a) Looking into the code of ::saveFile() is it possible to replace DcmOutputFileStream
and use the DcmOutputStream and somehow attach my buffer to it.

b) I need to allocated enough memory for several such objects, so is there a quick call, to do
something like int DcmFileFormat::ExactDiskSize()

Sorry if this is already covered in some documentation and postings.

Thank you

I can answer this one:

Have a look at the class DcmOutputBufferStream.
