[Insight-users] STL containers of itkImages?

[Zachary Pincus]

I typically make a STL container class of SmartPointers to the images, 
e.g.:

typedef ImageType::Pointer ImagePointer
typedef std::Vector<ImagePointer> ImageVector

itk::Object subclasses have private constructors and destructors; the 
public API for manipulating them is the class's New method and the 
reference-counting smart pointers. This of course means that you cannot 
create itk::Objects on the stack, or stuff them directly into a 
container class; you instead need to use the SmartPointers for all 
tasks.

A little meditation on this should show it to be a generally good idea.
