I'm working on a new ImageIO class, and I wondered about the
ReadImageInformation and WriteImageInformation. These functions are pure
virtual in ImageIOBase, so a subclass must define them.
But the ImageFileReader & ImageFileWriter don't actually call those
functions. Some ImageIO classes define them as empty functions, and some
-- like NiftiImageIO -- call WriteImageInformation at the top of the Write
method.
So what I'd like to know is what are Read/WriteImageInformation really
for? Are they vestigal remnants of an abandoned feature? Or is there some
way in which they're crucial?
