[vtkusers] how to show 4D?

[Emiliano Beronich]

Hi kingaza,

Do you want to show 4D-images?

vtk supports only 3D images. If you want to show the 4th dimension you 
need to implement some trick.
You could try one of these solutions:
-stacking the 3rd and 4th dimension in the same dimension (the 3rd).
-depending of what you need exactly, another solution could be reading 
the image under itk, extracting a 3D-volume and then exporting to vtk. 
With this approach you lose some pipeline funcionality.

I have an application where I am showing 4D images. I read and process 
the image on itk and I use vtk for visualization. I have developed some 
classes to stack the 4th dimension in the 3rd before exporting to vtk, 
preserving the pipeline update when a different t is needed.
