[Insight-users] MetaImageIO

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Kalpathi,


It seems that you are missusing the itk::MetaImageIO class.


Please read the ITK Software Guide:

     http://www.itk.org/ItkSoftwareGuide.pdf

In particular Chapter 7, "Reading and Writing Images"
in pdf-pages 295-347.


There are *MANY* examples on how to read and write images
in the software guide.


You shouldn't have to deal with the MetaImageIO class at all.
Simply use the ImageFileReader and the ImageFileWriter and
the underlying ImageIO factory mechanism will take care of
finding the appropriate reader/writer for your file format.


Just take the code from


     Insight/Examples/IO/
              ImageReadWriter.cxx


by only changing the pixel type and the dimension, this
file should be able to read your MetaImage and write it
in any of the supported file formats.



   Regards


     Luis
