[Dcmlib] Question regarding reading data entries other then strings

[Neerav Patel]

Hi,
 
I have a dicom image with a (x,y,z) parameter sitting at 0x0018, 0x5212 and it looks like the following when I open it up with a dicom viewer
 
How does one grab that,  I tried using 
 
float * temp = new float[3];
temp = (float * ) f->GetEntryBinArea( 0x0018, 0x5212 );  
 
but the data is all garbage in there.  what am I doing wrong?
 
Thanks for the help in advance.
