[vtkusers] Reading in legacy data

[Arun Nagarajan]

Hi all,

I am new to VTK and just recently signed on to this list. My main task right
now is to read in some medical image data in legacy format into VTK so that
we can visualize it.

 I have spent considerable time looking around trying to figure out vtk
reader class to use to do this properly. The basic fileformat of the data we
have in the native binary format is: 52 bytes of header and then actual 3D
data in the row major form. I have looked at vtkVolumeReader, vtkDataReader
(and all of its subclasses),
vtkImageReader etc. But none of them striked as being the right one.. maybe
I actually need to play around with them...

Does anyone have any suggestions etc. on what to pursue?

Arun
