[Insight-developers] mesh data structure problem.

[Lorensen, William E (CRD)]

I believe I introduced that problem when purging some signed/unsigned mis matches.

I checked in the fix.

Hi,

The problem seems to be with VectorContainer::GetElementIfIndexExists()
it thinks id = 0 is invalid and fails ( see code below ).

Hence the bogus result when you call
    mesh->GetPoint( 0, &point )

Can someone from GE/Kitware look into this?

Cheers,
Lydia

--------------- from itkVectorContainer.txx -------------------------
template <typename TElementIdentifier, typename TElement>
bool
VectorContainer< TElementIdentifier , TElement >
::GetElementIfIndexExists(ElementIdentifier id, Element* element) const
{
  if((id > 0) && (id < this->VectorType::size()))
    {
    if(element)
      {
      *element = this->VectorType::operator[](id);
      }
    return true;
    }
  return false;
}
