[ITK] [ITK-users] streaming TileImageFilter for arbitrary number of inputs

[Grothausmann, Roman Dr.]

Dear mailing list members,


Based on the examples for TileImageFilter I've created a working CLI to append 
an arbitrary number of inputs 
(https://github.com/romangrothausmann/ITK-CLIs/blob/4fdf5778022598dcf83fb38e6002df72bd67bef3/tile.cxx).
As there is an example that does not apply Update and DisconnectPipeline on the 
readers 
(https://itk.org/Doxygen/html/SphinxExamples_2src_2Filtering_2ImageGrid_2AppendTwo3DVolumes_2Code_8cxx-example.html#_a2) 

I changed my code such that a reader instance is created for each input in a 
for-loop:
https://github.com/romangrothausmann/ITK-CLIs/commit/ebfc0aea37d28cbbf2bb22c3f56be52453cebde9

However, the update from the writer seems not to propagate to the readers 
whether streaming or not. Can the TileImageFilter not stream in such a case or 
are further modifications necessary?

Thanks for any help or hints
Roman
