Hi Luis,

Thanks for your answer.

but i have still question
1) I don't know how to generate such a speed image you mentioned. I
think the image from fastMarching filter is just the speed image, and
what i do is only to set the seeds and the constant speed.

2)I know the Origin and the Spcing is very important, and in my first
letter I have mentioned that the codes for origin and spacing are
added by myself.
             fastMarching->SetOutputOrigin( reader->GetOutput()->GetOrigin() );
             fastMarching->SetOutputSpacing(
reader->GetOutput()->GetSpacing() );
but even if i did so, i could not get the correct result. 

how should i do?
now i am reading ShapeDetectionLevelSet in InsightApplications, and it
works some acceptable. but i am so unfamiliar with fltk... :(

any help is appreciated.


Regards,
Kingaza
