[Insight-users] Big endian/little endian

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Radhika,

Yes, you can specify the desired Endian-ness
when writing the image.

You simple need to create the ImageIO object
on your own (not let the ImageIO factory do it
for you) and invoke on it any of the following
methods:


       SetByteOrder (ByteOrder _arg)
       SetByteOrderToBigEndian ()
       SetByteOrderToLittleEndian ()


These methods are defined in ImageIOBase
http://www.itk.org/Insight/Doxygen/html/classitk_1_1ImageIOBase.html


The code will look like

typedef itk::MetaImageIO   ImageIOType;

ImageIOType::Pointer metaIO = ImageIOType::New();

  metaIO->SetByteOrderToBigEndian();

  // XOR

  metaIO->SetByteOrderToLittleEndian();


typedef itk::ImageFileWriter< ImageType > WriterType;


WriterType::Pointer writer = WriterType::New();

writer->SetImageIO( imageIO );
writer->SetFileName("myfilename.mhd");

writer->SetInput( filter->GetOutput() );

writer->Update();




Regards,


    Luis
