<div style="direction:ltr; font-size:10pt; font-family:Tahoma">Hi,<br>
<br>
I am doing manipulations on images by directly accessing the image buffer. When I want to create a new image I currently employ a rather crude method. I allocate a buffer of the right size, create the image in the buffer, then because I do not know how to
make itk::Image use this buffer address I allocate the image buffer and copy from my buffer to the new image buffer:<br>
