Hi Steve,<br><br>Thanks for pointing out the bug. The objects are allocated on the heap and the smart pointers that contain them are allocated on the stack. This fixed in CVS and will appear on the next version of the software guide.

<br><br> Most classes in ITK are instantiated through an object factory<br> mechanism. That is, rather than using the standard C++ class<br> constructor and destructor, instances of an ITK class are created<br> with the static class New() method. In fact, the constructor and
<br> destructor are protected: so it is generally not possible to<br> construct an ITK instance on the heap...<br><br>I think the authors meant "stack" rather than "heap" in this section.<br>Correct?
