Newbie: Which Repository to use?

[stefan...@logima.de]

Hi,

I'm a a newbi in fo-dicom and wonder which code/repository I should use for my first steps. I saw that the original repository is gone, but which of the forks is the one I should use?

I want to convert an image (png, bmp, tiff) to a dicom file - is there any example code for this "problem".

Best regards!

Hi Stefan,
that's a hard question to answer there are many forks.
Myself, Anders and Manabu manage this google group now, and there are plans in progress to pick a new fork as the source and re-invigorate fo-dicom.
That being said I'd suggest the best starting points would be (based on experience and discussion with other members)

https://github.com/cureos/fo-dicom  (Contains very usefull windows 8.1 & windows phone 8.1 focused fork)
https://github.com/hdesouky/fo-dicom (This fork added DicomDir and Dicom Print)
https://github.com/lste/fo-dicom (this fork has some good example's for Dicom worklist)
https://github.com/GMZ/fo-dicom (this is my fork, some WPF examples fix's from a number of forks combied)

as for converting non-dicom images to Dicom images check out https://gist.github.com/GMZ/5623907 (credit to Mahesh for this code)
