[Insight-users] managed itk limitations

[Carl Bateman]

Hi Dan,

thanks for getting back to me.

While I don't need colour mapping functions just yet, RegionOfInterest functionality is a requirement of the poject I'm woroking on.

Consequently, I'm looking into adding a wrapper to it. However, despite having read pp 31-33 in the ManagedITK article I'm still at a loss how to proceed. The article seems to be aimed at wrapping an external project rather than wrapping existing classes.

Which is the best way to proceed; treat RegionOfInterest as an external project or add it to the existing ManagedITK?
Do I need to create a dll project for it (including any dependencies), or does CMake take care of that?
Which set of filters, if any, would RegionOfInterest be part of?

TIA

Carl

Hi Carl,

Indeed, the coverage of ManagedITK is far from complete. WrapITK has
much greater coverage.

Correct, not all vector filters are wrapped. Feel free to add wrappers
for the filters you miss. I can give you access to the Google Code SVN
archive if you are interested in helping!

What sort of mapping routine do you want to use? You may be interested
in creating your own ManagedITK wrapper for
Code/Review/itkScalarToRGBColormapImageFilter (as described here
http://www.insight-journal.org/browse/publication/285).

To create you own wrappers, following the instructions on pp 31-33 in
the ManagedITK article here:
    http://manageditk.googlecode.com/files/ManagedITK-article.pdf 

Let us know if you need any further advice/help.

Cheers, Dan
