Infrastructure

Scalability

• We expect to expose several hundred classes.
  • How to control size of libraries
  • How to control dependencies
    • (build the minimum needed, after a code change)
• How many .i files to have

API

• Use of SmartPointers
  • No New() operator ?
  • Constructors and new are still allowed. Is this ok to prevent leaks ?
  • Need a Valgrind Nightly build...
• Exposing ITK's API from Simple ITK
  • We should be able to hide it and allow SimpleITK users to only need SimpleITK headers and pre-compiled libraries, without having to have ITK headers.
• Adding PixelContainer class
  • This will interface to Java arrays and Python numpy arrays.

Short Names

Gaetan pointed out that shorter names will be very desirable for Python users.

• image2 = sitk::Gaussian( image )
• sitk::Gaussian.Execute( image )
• image2 = sitk::StrategyFilter("gaussian", image )
