[Insight-developers] problem with ProcessObject::GenerateOutputInformtion()

Hi Lydia -

Good catch. I'm curious (as an aside), does

an exception get thrown, and are you trying to catch it?
Also, the images are different in the sense that they are of
different dimension, is this correct?

If I understand you correctly, I like what you're saying. I'm wondering
if the CopyInformation() shouldn't be eliminated all together? It seems to
be a dangerous method with its dynamic cast.

We could create a GenerateOutputInformation in itkFilterImageToImage and 
FilterMeshToMesh which would probably work for most cases, and then 
override it if the filter changes output.
