[Insight-users] How to disconnect a pipeline

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Martin,

The itk::Image class derives from itk::DataObject

http://www.itk.org/Insight/Doxygen/html/classitk_1_1DataObject.html

Which provides a method:

     void DisconnectPipeline () const;


You probably may want to use it like:

    FilterB->SetInput( FilterA->GetOutput() );
    FilterB->Update();

    ImageType::Pointer image = FilterB->GetOutput();

    image->DisconnectPipeline();

    FilterB->Delete();
    FilterA->Delete();


Please let us know if you find any problem,

   Thanks

     Luis

PS. There are not taboo words in ITK   :-)
The toolkit is supposed to be used in
combination with other libraries.

Well, thinking again, maybe "goto" is
actually a taboo workd in ITK   :-)
