Hi Zein,


You are right, the itk::Point has overloaded the
operator<< for std::ostream. You will see this in
line 212 of

      Insight/Code/Common/itkPoint.h


Your code should work fine for a std::ofstream...

BTW, I don't see the std:: namespace in your code,
are you doing "using namespace std"  ?

this is bad practice. You should rather do

  std::ofstream fout("filename");

  fout << pointIterator.Value() << std::endl;



Question:

   If you replace "fout" with "std::cout" in your
   code, does it prints the points ?



Regards,


    Luis
