[Insight-users] Get-methods in itk::BoundingBox

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Ivo,

Thanks for pointing this out.

This was entered as Bug # 559
http://www.itk.org/Bug/bug.php?op=show&bugid=559&pos=0
and has now been fixed in CVS.


The following methods where changed

 >   bool ComputeBoundingBox(void) const;
 >   PointType GetCenter(void) const;
 >   PointType GetMinimum(void) const;
 >   PointType GetMaximum(void) const;
 >   AccumulateType GetDiagonalLength2(void) const;
 >   bool IsInside( const PointType & ) const;

and the ivars were made mutable:


 >   mutable  BoundsArrayType    m_Bounds;
 >   mutable  TimeStamp          m_BoundsMTime;


Please let us know if you find any further
problems,


    Thanks


       Luis
