[ITK] [ITK-users] Future of WrapITK

[Bradley Lowekamp]

Hello,
> We are using many image filters as well as the registration framework from the ITK. I think I read that the registration framework is not fully usable in SimpleITK.

The development of the SimpleITK registration interface is wrapping up. The current interface is quite usable, and powerful, although there are some minor issue that still need to be addressed.

I'd encourage you to give it a try. You may be able to solve you problem faster and better with the SimpleITK wrapping of the ITKv4 registration framework. Please let us know if it works for your problem and what you think of the interface [1].

Thanks,
Brad

>> I'm developing software that uses ITK through Python wrapping. After some period of slower development progress we are now moving from ITK 3.20 to ITK 4.x. The software is developed and packages are released for 64-bit Windows, Linux and OS X. The problem is that ITK 4.6.1 with Python wrappings can be built only for Linux. It seems that there is no way around the issues with GCCXML and new Visual Studio in Win or Clang in OS X 10.9.

>> To follow up that question, has there been any progress related to GCCXML replacement or development of GCCXML to support new Visual Studio and Clang? Are there still plans for this or will wrapITK be deprecated and replaced by SimpleITK? Is there anything I can help with?
>> 
>> I noticed the Wiki page (http://www.itk.org/Wiki/ITK/Wrapping) where it is said that ITK 4.7 will include support for Python 3 but will it also fix the problem with Clang or new Visual Studios?

>> I have to admit that I haven't tried SimpleITK so I don't know whether it could provide the same flexibility as wrapITK and how much of ITK related code would need to be rewritten.
