[ITK] How do I generate the ITKMorpholigical library?

[Andy Diamond]

Hi Matt, Brat, et. al.,
I'm still confused. Sorry for being dense.

Let me try this another way. Below is the start of a definition of a
template class (in some header file I would think)

template <class A_Type> class calc
....

and here's a corresponding instantiation in some C++ file (.cpp)

calc <double> a_calc_class;

How does compiler  know what what the Identifier/type "calc" is?  Doesn't
it have to include the header with the definition so it doesn't come back
with an error message of " 'calc' is an unknown identifier" or the like?

Of course, given such a header file, if I searched its directory for the
string "calc" the search would at least return that header file as a file
that contains "calc".

None of this seems to be the case with the class
"GrayscaleFillholeImageFilter"

Thanks,
Andy
