[Insight-developers] VectorImage documentation typo?

[Cory Quammen]

David,

Reading the documentation, it looks like the paragraph you cite is
referring to the example given in the paragraph above it:

"Conceptually, a VectorImage< double, 3 > is the same as a Image<
VariableLengthVector< double >, 3 >. The difference lies in the memory
organization. The latter results in a fragmented organization with
each location in the Image holding a pointer to an
VariableLengthVector holding the actual pixel. The former stores the k
pixels instead of a pointer reference, which apart from avoiding
fragmentation of memory also avoids storing a 8 bytes of pointer
reference for each pixel. The parameter k can be set using
SetVectorLength."

It might be better to change double to TPixel to avoid confusion.
