<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Following example #5 in the Data Representation section of the UG, I implemented a pipeline reading an array from my application into the ITK Image class. I then apply a bunch of filters. Now instead of writing to a file, I want to put the transformed image back into the array so that I can hand it off to the rest of the non-itk program. I am probably missing something obvious to do with memory and storage in itk. Can someone enlighten me? Below is a thumbnail of my code.</FONT></P>
