[ITK-users] Python wrapping issue

[Matt McCormick]

Hi Paolo,

Lassi has some good suggestions. Some additional information:

If you use ITK Git master [1], the Python wrapping builds in half the
time as ITK 4.8.

To create a histogram matching filter, the preferred syntax is:

  import itk
  Dimension = 3
  PixelType = itk.F
  ImageType = itk.Image[PixelType, Dimension]
  histogramMatching = itk.HistogramMatchingImageFilter[ImageType,
ImageType].New()

Hope this helps,
Matt
