[Insight-users] Overlay a path on the image

Hi Shady,

1. Overlay path on input image.
There are heaps of different ways of doing this, depending on your needs:
   a. Perform a pixel operation (like addition) of the input and path images
   b. Compose a RGB image using the ComposeRGBImageFilter
   c. Write a custom wrapping of Gaetan Lehmann's label object filters:
           http://hdl.handle.net/1926/584
   d. Use a visualisation package (like VTK) to render the image and path
   e. Use the Windows GDI+ graphics library to draw the path manually

2. Set given and desired orientation for OrientImageFilter.
You can set the given and desired orientations for the
OrientImageFilter using the GivenCoordinateOrientation and
DesiredCoordinateOrientation properties. For example:

orientFilter.DesiredCoordinateOrientation = itk.SpatialOrientationEnum.RIP;

Hope this helps.

Regards, Dan
