Overview of how to use the squirrel C++ library
The squirrel library is built using the Qt framework and gdcm. Both are available as open-source, and make development of the squirrel library much more efficient.
The Qt and gdcm libraries (or DLLs on Windows) will need to be redistributed along with any programs that use the squirrel library.
The squirrel library can be included at the top of your program. Make sure the path to the squirrel library is in the INCLUDE path for your compiler.
Create an object and read an existing squirrel package
All imaging data is stored in a Subject->Study(session)->Series hierarchy. Subjects are stored in the root of the squirrel object.
Access to these objects is similar to accessing subjects
