about itkScalar and itkVector

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi,

in the code from

.../Testing/Code/Common/itkBasicArchitectureTest.cxx

itk images are created using:

itkImage<  itkScalar< float > , 3 >::Pointer  myImage;

we were naively using something like:

itkImage<  float, 3 >  *myImage

is the use of   "itkScalar" and "itkVector"
something mandatory when creating images ?

nd is the use of  the trait  "::Pointer"    a
recomended methods as oposed to just an  "*"  ?


Thanks


Luis
