First, you need to call vktimage->AllocateScalars() before trying to fill the image. Second, it looks like you are incrementing the pointer to much.
If you only use the ptr++ statement, that should be enough.

Maybe you need to call SetDimensions before the AllocateScalars, but i'm not to sure if thats necessary.

Good luck.
