[Insight-users] itkPointSetFileWriter?

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi David,


You may want to take a look at

Insight/Code/Review
     itkVTKPolyDataReader.h
     itkVTKPolyDataReader.txx
     itkVTKPolyDataWriter.h
     itkVTKPolyDataWriter.txx


They will Write and Read VTK legacy files.

They have been used mostly with itk::Mesh
but they should work fine with itk::PointSet.


Please let us know if you find any problem,


     Thanks


        Luis
