[Insight-users] Work with ITK meshes like VTK

[Leila baghdadi]

Hi Xavier,

1) It is not a problem to ask a beginner question on the list as long as
it has not been asked before, you can always search the archives for
your answer before you send in a question

2) I think the simplest thing is just convert your mesh from
ITK---->VTK and then apply all the filters you wish on it and then
convert it back to ITK should you require,
you can check InsightApplications for a few examples examples which do
that, one of which DeformabelModelApplication,

create ITK mesh --> convert it to SIMPLEX MESH ( a specific type of mesh
for deformable models still ITK format --> VTK mesh for visualization,
