[Insight-developers] Run-time polymorphism and Insight

[Josh Cates]

Hello developers,

How do I up-cast or down-cast an Insight object?  Since we are using
smart pointers, I can't think of a way to use any of the conventional
methods such as dynamic_cast.

For example, say I want to treat an itkImage::Pointer as an
itkObject::Pointer, etc,.

In other words, how can I get polymorphic behavior from Insight objects?

Thanks,

Josh.
