Hi,

while experimenting wth the Segmentation Editor
app, I noticed that there appears to be no way 
to enter information about the spacing/dimensions
of pixels/voxels.  Is this intended and if so, why?

quote from Insight/Examples/Image/Image4.cxx :
" Medical images lacking 
// spatial information should not be used for purposes like medical
// diagnosis, image analysis, feature extraction, assisted radiation
// therapy or image guided surgery. In other words, medical images
// lacking spacing are not only useless but rather hazardous."
