Well, if you can't read what that line means, I believe you have some c++
reading to catch up.

But I am still giving you some directions here:
 /vtkSmartPointer< vtkImageReader2Factory > imageFactory/

states that you want a vtkImageReader2Factory Objekt.

In vtk it is pretty common to store them in smart-pointers.

This is some sort of template class, knowing when it has to delete itself 
( aka release memory - internally this is done by holding a count of
references ) - so basicly a neat garbage collection thing for c++.


And those smart-pointers are instantiated by
/ vtkSmartPointer< vtkImageReader2Factory >::New();/


So the logic behind this is pretty much the same as:
/vtkImageReader2Factory* imageFactory = new vtkImageReader2Factory(); /


without having to worry about /delete imageFactory;/
( please dont use this, its VTK "style" to do it with ::New() and so on )

Regards
Adrian
