I know this is true for ITK and VTK(*). As I was explaining. I have to remind you that gdcm focus on reading DICOM image, not providing Joystick control.
The user only knows what he wants, what kind of orientation he wants. But he could expect gdcm to provide him with some low level tools to access the Image Orientation, and a few default Transformation mechanism. 
#1 so that he can quickly have something working the way he wants,
#2 if he wants another type of transformation he can just creates it's own based on already existing transformation class.

A Transformation has nothing to do in a gdcm::File class. a Transformation is completely outside of its scope.

(*) I am convinced that an OpenGL call to transform a texture is way faster than anything we would ever write...
