[Insight-users] Convert image to (multi-dimensional) array in SimpleITK

[Bradley Lowekamp]

Hello Zhangliu,

The c is for the component number, and there is an extraneous '+' before the ySize. The component number is only needed for vector images.

I don't seem to be able to find an example with utilizing the IntPtr. I have been told it's straightforward. I'll try to dig into some C# stuff tomorrow to make an example.

In particular, is it possible to directly convert to a multidimensional array such as intensity[x,y,z] (or intensity[x][y][z] in C++) indicating the intensity of voxel at <x,y,z>?
