Hi

I want to write an adapter which takes an image object of an own type 
and returns a list of vtkImageData type pointers, like:

data::ImageList imgList = isis::data::IOFactory::load("data.nii", "");

or

isis::data::ImageList imgList = isis::data::IOFactory::load("data.v", "");

imgList is the image object of type own, which i want to transform into 
a vtkImageData object, like

std::list<vtkImageData*> vtkList = 
isis::adapter::VTKAdapter::makeVtkImageList(imgList.front());

(do not be confused of the imgList.front()...this is an object of 
dimension 4, so i want to return a list of 3d vtkdata)

So, if someone for instance write an vtk image viewer which should 
support the isis image type, he/she can use the VTKAdapter to transform 
my own imagetype into a vtkImageData type and use it.

But the way things are going i have to return vtkImageImport objects:

std::list<vtkImageImport*> vtkList = 
isis::adapter::VTKAdapter::makeVtkImageList(imgList.front());

which actually was not my goal.
