[Insight-users] Re: Hello- Guidance regarding using Infinity

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Sonali,

ITK NumericTraits inherit their definition of max() from VXL.

You will find the definition in the file:

         Insight/Utilities/vxl/vcl/emulation/
                                       vcl_limits.h


in line 542:


   inline static double max() { return 1.7976931348623157e+308; }



   Regards,


       Luis
