[ITK] [ITK-users] Filter working on both itk::Image and itk::VectorImage

[Cyril Mory]

Answering my own question:

I found a way to do what I needed using itk::NumericTraits<T> :

   OutputImagePixelType pix;
   itk::NumericTraits<OutputImagePixelType>::SetLength(pix, 
this->GetVectorLength());
   pix = itk::NumericTraits<OutputImagePixelType>::OneValue(pix) * value;

It works for both cases with the same code. However, if there is a 
better way (cleaner, safer, more compact, ... whatever the wayin which 
it is better), I'd be happy to learn about it.

Best regards,
Cyril
