pydicom.valuerep.DSfloat

class pydicom.valuerep.DSfloat(val: Union[None, str, int, float, decimal.Decimal], auto_format: bool = False, validation_mode: Optional[int] = None)

Store value for an element with VR DS as float.

If constructed from an empty string, return the empty string, not an instance of this class.

Parameters

• val (Union[str, int, float, Decimal]) – Value to store as a DS.

• auto_format (bool) – If True, automatically format the string representation of this number to ensure it satisfies the constraints in the DICOM standard. Note that this will lead to loss of precision for some numbers.

__init__(val: Union[str, int, float, decimal.Decimal], auto_format: bool = False, validation_mode: Optional[int] = None) → None

Store the original string if one given, for exact write-out of same value later.

Methods

__init__(val[, auto_format, validation_mode])	Store the original string if one given, for exact write-out of same value later.
as_integer_ratio()	Return integer ratio.
conjugate()	Return self, the complex conjugate of any float.
fromhex()	Create a floating-point number from a hexadecimal string.
hex()	Return a hexadecimal representation of a floating-point number.
is_integer()	Return True if the float is an integer.

Attributes

imag	the imaginary part of a complex number
real	the real part of a complex number
