Hi Sharad,


You could have saved a lot of time by just
using the IO example in


    Insight/Examples/IO/
              ImageSeriesReadWrite.cxx

which does exactly what you need:

    Read a series of PNG files and save
    them in another ITK supported format.


----

The problems in your code are related
to the inapropriate construction of the
format tha the ImageSeriesReader need.

This format is supposes to be a "printf"
style format.  For your images:


     myI001.png
     myI002.png
     myI003.png
     ...

The format should be

       "myI%03d.png"

that can easily be constructed as:

   std::string format = argv[3];
   format = format + "%03d.png";


Also the images that you sent have
double extension .png, like

    myI001.png.png

You probably are doing this in MS
windows as enabled the option of
not showing extentions.  You may
want to disable this option in order
to preseve sanity for a longer time.


Attached is the working file.

----------

Some comments about your code:

1) Instead of

         (int) atof( argv[2] );

    you should use

               atoi( argv[2] );


2) Use typedef instead of repeating the
    instantiation of ITK templates.

    like in the ImageFileWriter and
    ImageSeriesReader declarations.




Regards,


    Luis
