[vtkusers] VTKMATLABMEXADAPTER: vtkDataArray to vtkImageData

[kwayeke]

I have  384 slices of CT (Computed Tomography) data which I want to input
from matlab to VTK to perform volume rendering and display as a 3D volume. I
therefore decided to use the vtkMatlabMexAdapter but but the output is a
vtkDataArray but I need it to be of type vtkImageData so that I can display
it as 3D volume. Here is what I have done so far:

void mexFunction(int nlhs, mxArray *plhs[], int nrhs, const mxArray *prhs[])
{
// convert matlab volume to vtk
bool ShallowCopy=false;
vtkMatlabMexAdapter *matlabMexAdapter = vtkMatlabMexAdapter::New();
matlabMexAdapter->mxArrayTovtkDataArray(prhs[0],ShallowCopy);

// CONVERT vtkDataArray to vtkImageData with 3D
    vtkImageData *ImageData = vtkImageData::New();
    ImageData->SetDimensions(254,254,384);
    ImageData->SetOrigin(0.0,0.0,0.0);
    ImageData->SetSpacing(1.0,1.0,1.0);
    ImageData->SetScalarTypeToUnsignedChar();
    ImageData->SetNumberOfScalarComponents(3);
    ImageData->SetWholeExtent(0,299,0,299,0,384);
       
  ImageData->GetPointData()->SetScalars(matlabMexadapter);  
}
I tried the above code but did not succeed.
PEOPLE PLEASE HELP
