[ITK] [ITK-users] read/write images in ITK

[Francois Budin]

Hello,

If you use the ITK IO factory, your first piece of code should work. The
automatic detection of the image format does not rely on the inclusion of
"itkImage.h", but relies on itkImageFileReader.h.
Do you use CMake to configure your project? If so, if you have the
following lines in your CMakeLists files, everything should be done
automatically:
find_package(ITK REQUIRED)
include(${ITK_USE_FILE})

After configuring your project, your build directory should contain a
folder named ITKIOFactoryRegistration.
If you do not use CMake to configure your project, I strongly suggest you
to do so. It will simplify a lot of things.
You can also manually register the ITK IOs that you want to support before
use reading your file. You can find some information in the last part of
the documentation provided on this page:
https://itk.org/Wiki/ITK/FAQ

Hope this helps,

Francois
