[Insight-developers] KWSYS/ITKSYS question

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Rupert,


      As an ITK user you are encouraged to use itksys.


itksys is an important library to support multi-platform operations.

--

Note that in general, we don't include in ITK pages the documentation
of third party libraries (e.g. TIFF, PNG, GDCM, Meta,....kwsys).


We are certainly missing to have formal Doxygen documentation from KWSys
(itksys) in another web site. The comments are in the headers already,
so it shouldn't be too difficult to generate the HTML documentation
using Doxygen.


   Regards,


       Luis
