[ITK-users] (R wrapping/SimpleITK) AddCommand to ImageRegistrationMethod bug

[Bradley Lowekamp]

Hello,

I would like to know your environment. 

What version of SimpleITK?  R? OS? Compiler? Did you use simpleITK's super build? If not what version of SWIG?

Thanks

If I pass this resulting object as the second argument to registration$AddCommand then I do not get an error.  However, there doesn’t seem to be any way to point the ‘_p_itk__simple__Command’ object to my function or otherwise convert my function to a ‘_p_itk__simple__Command’ type.

(the example scripts cause the same error when I run them now)
