[Insight-users] WrapITK in ITK4

[Tobias Maier]

Thanks, for the HeaderTest patch.

The code for the PyBuffer ITK4 module is aviable at github:

https://github.com/tobiasmaier/itkPyBuffer

I try not to change the behaviour of the old PyBuffer, but the new 
features (not swapping axes and VectorImages) are still work in progress.

Regards
Tobias
