[Insight-users] vtk polydata import / export

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Imho,

The import/export connections currently available
between ITK and VTK only manage image-to-image
conversions.

You may want to convert your vtkPolyData to a vtkImageData
and then use the itkVTKImageToImageFilter available in

    InsightApplications/Auxiliary/vtk

In any case, a vtkPolyData may not be the best support
for representing an image...


Please let us know if you have futher questions,


Thanks


    Luis
