[Insight-developers] managing filter outputs

[Joshua Cates]

I am having some trouble understanding how a ProcessObject should manage
the creation and destruction of its output objects.

For example, say I have a FilterImageToImage subclass:

 MyFilterImageToImage : public FilterImageToImage

On a call to MyFilterImageToImage::Execute(), should a new output
Image::Pointer be created, configured, and Allocate()'d?  What happens to
any prior existing output Image::Pointer?


Josh.
