[Insight-developers] paraview format issues

[Stephen Aylward]

Hi Richard,

Your question is a bit beyond my expertise, but my initial guess is
that paraview doesn't use orientation info from metaImage or other
file formats - the issue is that vtkImage (the image data container in
vtk) doesn't support orientation.

To know for certain, I think posting to the paraview group is probably
your best bet.

I know you're trying to avoid joining that list, but it doesn't get
the heavy traffic of the ITK list, so hopefully the benefits outweigh
the costs.

The list is online at:
