[ITK] [ITK-users] Problem with itk::ImageToHistogramFilter

[Matt McCormick]

Hi Maximilian,

It is necessary to call

  imageToHistogramFilter->SetAutoMinimumMaximum( false );

 http://www.itk.org/Doxygen/html/classitk_1_1Statistics_1_1ImageToHistogramFilter.html#ab0f2c568bbb0ec3ff22e27e10b6af295

Usually, the range of values are computed from the input image.

HTH,
Matt
