How do I write compressed images?

ITK, regretfully, doesn't write compressed images by default. You must add one line to your code, to write compressed images:

typename ImageWriterType::Pointer writer = ImageWriterType::New();
writer->SetFileName( outputVolume.c_str() );
writer->SetInput( cropFilter.GetOutput() );
writer->SetUseCompression( true );                             // ADD THIS LINE

CMake/Build reports that it cannot find Git

• If CMake complains that it cannot find Git:
  • Toggle the 'Advanced' checkbox to ON
  • Set the value of GIT_EXECUTABLE value to C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\git.exe, or its equivalent on your system
  • Press the 'Configure' button twice
  • Toggle the 'Advanced' checkbox to OFF

Missing libraries on build?

Confirm the following CMake variables

• BUILD_TESTING: ON
• CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE: Specify Debug, Release, RelWithDebInfo or MinSizeRel
• TubeTK_USE_CTK: ON
• TubeTK_USE_QT: OFF
  • If you have Qt 4.6.3 or greater installed, you can turn it on.
  • If you do not have Qt, CMake will complain until you turn this option off.
• TubeTK_USE_SUPERBUILD: ON
  • If "ON", then cmake will fetch and compile ITK and VTK from the Slicer git repository, and will fetch and compile TCLAP, ModuleDescriptionParser, and GenerateCLP from the Slicer3 svn repository
• TubeTK_USE_VTK: ON
• USE_SYSTEM_ITK: OFF
  • If "ON", then you can tell TubeTK to use an ITK build that is already present on your system (using the CMake variable ITK_DIR). See the warning below.
• USE_SYSTEM_VTK: OFF
  • If "ON", then you can tell TubeTK to use a VTK build that is already present on your system (using the CMake variable VTK_DIR). See the warning below.
