[Insight-users] Listing all the ITK classes wrapped for Python

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Richard,

I'm affraid that currently it is not possible to query
the wrapped classes in this way.

This is partly due to the way in which the registration
framework is constructred. For example, you use:

  * Interpolators
  * Optimizers
  * Metrics
  * Transforms

So,.. although they are mostly intended to be used in
image registration, they have a generic purpose too.


In general our policy with the wrapping has been to
wrap most of the basic ITK classes, and then wait until
we get users' requests for wrapping the advanced ones.


You probably should log bug-entries as "feature requests"
in the phpBugTracker in order to ask for specific classes
to be added to the wrapping.

The phpBugtracker can be found at:

         http://public.kitware.com/Bug/index.php

You can create your own account just by
providing your email.



Regards,


    Luis
