hi everyOne,

    For creating an Image using Itk I am defining image as=20
for ex:
    typedef  unsigned int  PixelType;
    typedef itk::Image < PixelType, 2 > ImageType;
here we are using unsigned int but how to associate a color with pixel?.

there is another template class for specifying pixelType like:
  typedef  itk::RGBPixel<  Unsigned char> pixelType
  typedef itk::Image < PixelType, 2 > ImageType

This works fine but the problem is I am using a filter =
itktovtkImageFilter to convert into vtkImage  for rendering
 but this filter will not accept RGBPixeltype.
Then if i use unsigned int or unsigned char how can i specify the color =
values.
How does the filter knows about color representation?

Please anybody has the answer let me know ASAP.

Thanks and Regds
