[Insight-users] PGM file reading writting

[Luis Ibanez]

Kexiang,

As Karthik just pointed out, ITK doesnt support PGM directly,
and using ImageMagick is probably the fastest solution to your
problem.

However you may save some disk space if you just create MetaImage
headers for your PGM files. This is possible as long as your PGM
files are storing the pixel data in binary and not ASCII.

MetaImage can be used for reading any fileformat that has a header
followed by binary data at the end of the file.

Please look at the "Data" link on www.itk.org for instructions
on how to write MetaImage headers.


   Regards,


      Luis
