[Insight-users] itk+vtk using JAVA

[Gaetan Lehmann]

Hi Lars,

I think there is no way to connect vtk and itk in java.
In python, there is ConnectVTKITK (in insight applications). Perhap's can  
you try to extend ConnectVTKITK wrapper to use it with java. ConnectVTKITK  
is not really easy to use (lots of objects to create).
In C++, there is a nice connector (in insight applications too). Sadely,  
it is not wrapped. It's hard to find doc or help about wrappers, so it  
might be a hard task to wrap it...

Let us know if you find a good solution.

Gaetan
