[ITK] [ITK-users] Fwd: Using C++ functions in ITK pipeline

Hi Elena,
I compiled and tested your example code.
I found that there was a conflict between the return of the function and
the argument (output),
also I think output allocation on the function is not necesary since you
assign it a valid output.
Here a version of your code that worked.

> Hello guys,

> I'm developing a really complicated pipeline and to avoid repetitions and
> unreadeble code I thought of writing the different pieces of code as
> functions, each with a single specific purpose.
> Since I'm not really a C++ master I started with a very simple pipeline
> (reader -> rescale intensity filter -> writer), where the rescale intensity
> filter is in a separate function, outside the main().
> The code compiles and it even runs but the output is not what it would
> have to be.

> Attached you can find my code, a test image and the respective output.
