[Insight-users] Using GDCM classes with ITK

[Karthik Krishnan]

The VTK Tcl wrapper wraps only a limited number of types and objects. 
Here is how you would write your header file


#include "vtkObject.h"
#include "gdcmFile.h"

class VTK_EXPORT vtkFoo : public vtkObject
{
public:
  static vtkFoo * New();
  vtkTypeRevisionMacro(vtkVVDicomTagPrinter,vtkObject);
  void PrintSelf(ostream& os, vtkIndent indent);

  ...

//BTX
  gdcm::File *header;
//ETX

};

You cannot put non-VTK objects outside the BTX/ETX tags. (Stuff within 
these tags is ignored by the vtk-tcl parser). Most VTK objects and 
native types (except bool) should be wrapped and can be safely left 
outside the BTX/ETX tags.

HTH,
Karthik
