[vtkusers] Re: Moving images together in world space

[Luca Pamparana]

Hello,

Just to add to my question. I guess what I am trying to imply is this. The
two images of course might not lie completely aligned in world space.

>From what I understood with the vtkImageReslice is that it works in
millimeters but the coordinate system is defined by the image itself i.e.
where the origin of the image lies. Now, when we are dealing with multiple
images, I guess we have to work in some global coordinate system or the
world space.

So, I guess my question is how I can convert the values returned by
GetOutputOrigin(), GetResliceAxesOrigin() etc. to world space. I am not sure
if I have tghis understanding of the coordinate systems all wrong.

I will really appreciate some help here.

Thanks,
Luca
