vtkImageReader

[Ron Inbar]

I need to read a very large dataset from raw files (no headers).
vtkVolume16Reader does the job but takes about 10 minutes and fills up all
my RAM.  I understand that vtkVolume16Reader doesn't support streaming, so I
tried to replace it by a vtkImageReader, but I didn't seem to be getting any
data (all the scalars were 0xCDCD).  It occured to me that vtkImageReader is
not supposed to be used directly, but just to serve as an abstract base
class for vtkBMPReader, vtkPNMReader, vtkTIFFReader, etc.  Am I right in
this assumption?  Is there another way to read raw files using streaming?

Thanks in advance,

Ron
