[Insight-users] Writing itk::Mesh to disk

[Julien Jomier]

Hi Yasser,

I think we can use MetaIO to read/write an itkMesh on disk.
Can you log this as a feature request in the bug tracker =
(www.itk.org/Bug)
and I'll take a look. Can you also specify, when adding it, what needs =
to be
saved.

Regards,

Julien
