[Insight-users] itkOrientedImage compatibility problem

[Patrick Cheng]

Hi,

The new itkOrientedImage class doesn't work well with some of the old 
filters, for instance:

Simply by including appropriate header files and adding these two line:

typedef itk::ConnectedThresholdImageFilter< OrientedImageType, 
AnyImageType> CTType;
CTType::Pointer ct = CTType::New();


It will generate the following compilation error:

c:\Patrick\ITK\Insight\Code\Common\itkOrientedImage.h(147): error C2679: 
binary '-' : no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 
'const itk::ImageBase<VImageDimension>::PointType' (or there is no 
acceptable conversion)
         with
         [
             VImageDimension=3
         ]

It's panic because of the 
itkOrientedImage::TransformPhysicalPointToContinuousIndex() function

It seems that the internal classes of ConnectedThresholdImageFilter 
class, are not taking the right type info from the templated interface 
when being initialized.

Please help verify this.

Thank you,

Patrick
