[Insight-users] ITK&VTK Project in Visual C++

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Robert,


1) The CMakeLists.txt doesn't contain any C++ code.
    It simply specify all the elements that you need
    for building your project.  You may think of a
    CMakeLists.txt file as a generalized "Makefile".


2) You can write a visualization module using VTK.
    One way to go is to create a C++ class that
    contains as members all the VTK objects of the
    visualization pipelilne that you are using.

    You compile this module (class) independently
    and create a library with it.  Then, you use it
    from your application.


Regards,


   Luis
