[Insight-developers] Re: [SCIRUN-USERS] extending ITK support

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Carlos,

We are planning to refactor the wrapping process in ITK,
so that wrappers are generated from CMake. I wonder if
an XML description can be added as part of this refactoring.

If I remember correctly one of the extra information that
you need for SCIrun is to have some indication of the GUI
widgets that can be associated to filter parameters, along
with default values and ranges for those values.

Is this still the case ?


    Regards,


       Luis
