<div>Hi David-</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks for the quick response. I explored that option, and my software compiles although it hangs on execution.<font size="2" face="Consolas"><font size="2" face="Consolas"><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"> The example has an input as an array of unsigned chars, as opposed to my vector. Is this the problem? Additionally, this still uses an <span style="BACKGROUND: yellow">itk</span> to <span style="BACKGROUND: yellow">vtk</span> connector before display. I am assuming based on your suggestion, the bulk of my time in the previous solution was spent looping and setting <span style="BACKGROUND: yellow">individual </span>pixels as opposed to the <span style="BACKGROUND: yellow">itk</span> to <span style="BACKGROUND: yellow">vtk</span> filter. Is this correct? If not, is there a <span style="BACKGROUND: yellow">vtk</span> import filter that will take my buffer as an input directly? My non-functioning code hangs when I try to connect my pipeline to an actor, and it is included below:</font></font></font></div>
