[vtkusers] vtkVolumeReader

[sseo]

i've run in simmilar problem
and i made up my own  Volume8Reader class

unfortunatly vtkVolumeReader is specific for 16bits data
so you need to have a look into both
vtkVolumeReader and vtkVolume16Reader
and make your own vtkVolumeReader class
derived from vtkStructuredPointSource

have to remove all the stuffs for 16bits
(swapBytes and so on)

and that will work

yet, you need not modify do output dataset
type to VTK_UNSIGNED_CHAR since
VTK_UNSIGNED_SHORT will do the job,
and VTK_UNSIGNED_CHAR is dull performance

if you want a sample, mail me
