[Insight-users] Re: Specify output png bit depth

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Mark,


If you declare the Writer as

   itk::ImageFileWriter< itk::Image< unsigned char, 2 > >

then the generated PNG will have 8 bits depth

--

If you declare the Writer as

    itk::ImageFileWriter< itk::Image< unsigned short, 2 > >

then the generated PNG will have 16 bits depth

--

If you need to modify the pixel depth before
writing you can use the RescaleIntensitImageFilter.
http://www.itk.org/Insight/Doxygen/html/classitk_1_1RescaleIntensityImageFilter.html


This filter is described in the SoftwareGuide

   http://www.itk.org/ItkSoftwareGuide.pdf


Section 6.2, pdf-page 146.


Regards,


    Luis
