[Insight-developers] proposal: enhancing wrapitk's filter coverage during (one of) the next tcon

[Alexandre GOUAILLARD]

Hi gaethan,

The list is not polished, but here are the template parameters that should
unlock the itk::mesh and itk::QuadEdgeMesh kingdom to wrapITK. The document
has been written to be self explanatory and to serve as a base for (future?)
documentation.

I'm extremely busy this week committing the latest mesh filters so that itk
finally has mesh processing capacity equivalent to vtk in 3.10, but I'll do
my best to attend the Tconf (SecondLifeConf?).

Eric, who you know, co-developper of the QuadEdgeMesh datastructure, and
arnaud, developper of several filters, should help once we will have defined
a strategy :)

Alex.
PS I could handle those filters, with dan.

  BalloonForceFilter
  ConformalFlatteningMeshFilter
  ConnectedRegionsMeshFilter
  DeformableMesh3DFilter
  DeformableSimplexMesh3DBalloonForceFilter
  DeformableSimplexMesh3DFilter
  DeformableSimplexMesh3DGradientConstraintForceFilter
  ImageToMeshFilter (superclass?)
? InteriorExteriorMeshFilter
  MeshToMeshFilter (superclass)
? ParametricSpaceToImageSpaceMeshFilter
  QuadEdgeMeshCleanFilter
  QuadEdgeMeshDecimationFilter
  QuadEdgeMeshDelaunayConformingFilter
  QuadEdgeMeshEdgeMergeDecimationFilter
  QuadEdgeMeshNormalFilter
  QuadEdgeMeshToQuadEdgeMeshFilter
  SimplexMeshAdaptTopologyFilter
  SimplexMeshToTriangleMeshFilter
  TransformMeshFilter
  TriangleMeshToBinaryImageFilter
  TriangleMeshToSimplexMeshFilter
  WarpMeshFilter
