[Insight-developers] Anyone working on adding support for images with non-uniform sample spacing to ITK v4?

[Karthik Krishnan]

If possible, it would be nice to keep quick conversion to a
vtkRectilinearGrid in mind (by grabbing a pointer to the internal
representation etc), much like we do with ITK images and vtkImageData.

Thanks
