[Insight-developers] PolyLineParametricPath

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Jeffrey,

Thanks for pointing out the problem with
the PolyLineParametricPath class.

I will be great to fix the class in the CVS repository,
but if you think that your alternate class is a better
choice, we are also open to add your new class to the
toolkit.

Do you have in mind a particular place of the code
where we could fix the PolyLineParametricPath ?




If you would like to contribute your class to ITK,
the mechanism will involve to write a paper to the
Insight Journal. Note that these papers are closer to
technical reports than to traditional journal papers.

Instructions on how to prepare a paper for the
Insight Journal are available at:

http://www.itk.org/Wiki/ITK_Procedure_for_Contributing_New_Classes_and_Algorithms

A template for preparing a submission is available at:

http://www.na-mic.org:8000/svn/NAMICSandBox/trunk/InsightJournal/SubmissionTemplate/

and as a tar.gz file at:

ftp://public.kitware.com/pub/itk/InsightJournal/InsightJournalSubmissionTemplate.tgz


Please let us know what would be your preference,


    Thanks


      Luis
