Hi Andinet.

I have started using the new classes and I get into trouble when I  
want to use functionality in objects derived from ViewNew:

igstk::ViewNew2D::Pointer my2DView = igstkViewNew2D::New();
my2DView->RequestSetOrientation(igstk::ViewNew2D::Coronal);
gives the compiler error:

   'class igstk::ViewNew' has no member named 'RequestSetOrientation'

I think this is because ViewNew2D/3D does not have it's own 'Pointer'  
typedef, but uses its
parent's typedef instead. I tried adding a typedef  
itk::SmartPointer<Self> to ViewNew2D but that resulted in compile  
errors like these where QTWidget::RequestSetView was called:

error: no matching function for call to
   'igstk::QTWidget::RequestSetView 
(itk::SmartPointer<igstk::ViewNew2D>&)'
   note: candidates are: void igstk::QTWidget::RequestSetView 
(itk::SmartPointer<igstk::ViewNew>)

Is there something I can do to get around this?
