memory problem

[Stefan Job]

Hello everyone,

I have a problem with memory usage.
In my application I extract the image pixels from a vtkVolume16Reader
via the GetImage and GetScalarPointerForExtend methods.
It seems that in each call vtk allocates some memory.
What can I do to free this memory up again?

Code fragment:

_pixel  = (unsigned short*)
vtk16VolumeReader->GetImage(_imnr)->GetScalarPointerForExtent(coord);

Thanks for any hints
Stefan
