[Insight-developers] about fileio

[Ting Chen]

I am writing code to read in data from arbitary image file format such as
jpeg and bitmap. I am using the class itkfilterfileiotoimage. but there is
error message when I compile the code.
here is my code:
typedef itk::Image<float>  Image;
...
itk::FilterFileIOToImage<Image>* loadFilter;
loadFilter = new itk::FilterFileIOToImage<Image>("myimage.bmp");
...


and the error message:

actually i think the class itkfilterfileiotoimage do not like the imageio
class introduced in the documents directory. can anyone who have written
code for the similar purpose give me a short template for image file read
in? Thanks!
