Jim-
Thats it, thanks. =20
I have an observation about itk as a person relatively new to =
developing for it. It is a difficult task to know what is in the =
toolkit, and more specifically, what each one thing does. Even scanning =
through the directory of filters in the BasicFilters folder, I missed =
this simple one for casting. Part of the difficulty is that with ~100 =
some odd filters, it is tough to know how to find the right one, =
although the file names help to an extent. =20
Also, to use itk and get things done efficiently and easily, =
sometimes it takes solving the problem in a different manner, or using =
the basic building blocks of itk in a non-traditional way. while this =
makes it very powerful and flexible, it also makes the learning curve =
pretty steep and fairly intimidating. While I don't know of a way =
around this besides documentation, I thought i might share some =
observations.

Is there a filter that exists to change the pixel representation =
type in an image (i.e. unsigned char to float)?
