[Insight-developers] itkVTKPolyDataReader.h reads ascii only--- why?

[Magnotta, Vincent A]

Brian,

I don't understand this question. Isn't the VTK point information already in physical space? Maybe this is just how I have always dealt with the VTK data. I believe that Slicer also follows this convention.

Hi Alexandre, Wanlin , dev-list

Would it be possible to add a reference image space to the vtk reader?
 That is, because vtk files dont have physical space associated with
them, we could have an optional input to the filter that would
reorient the mesh using the space of the image from which the mesh was
originally derived.  I guess this should probably be a separate
unoriented to oriented mesh filter ... have you already resolved this
issue?

Brian
