[IGSTK-Users] About file .msh

[Vincent Gratsac]

Hi Izumo,

Your problem is the same that Luca RAmundo asked me a few days ago.
I also had the same question a few months ago and I decided to use the 
VtkPolyDataReader filter from Itk (be careful to activate the USE_REVIEW 
option in Itk cmake).

This will allow you to open vtk files and get an itk::MeshObject as ouput.

Concerning the reasons of using .msh files format instead of .vtk files, 
I can't help you because I am not a member of the IGSTK development team :)

Regards,

Vincent
