[vtkusers] [FORGED] Re: Qt-based VTK app shows black image content if VTK is linked statically

Hi all,

regarding this topic: In the meantime, I have found out that indeed, 
when using static VTK libraries, the image-related components (e.g. 
vtkImageResliceMapper) always retrieve invalid bounds / whole data 
extent from the input image data (0,-1,0,-1,0,-1) - and the 
corresponding content is black. When using dynamic VTK libraries, the 
information is correct, and the resliced image is shown as expected.

The only function which (indirectly) sets invalid image dimensions is 
PrepareForNewData(), which is called from vtkImageResliceMapper's 
Update().

Ideally, I would like to continue debugging and find out why, in case of 
static VTK libraries, the information is not correctly overwritten later 
in my case, but would appreciate any help, since the processing / 
updating mechanism during a Render() call are not clear to me.

Any hints or ideas?

Thanks,

     sophonet
