[Insight-users] ITK-TIF-support: 3D supported but float not?

[lynx.abraxas at freenet.de]

Hello!


Using  TIF as my input and output file format I noticed that I can load 3D-TIF
with   itk::ImageFileReader.  (It  says  only  2D  is  possible  in  the  wiki
http://www.itk.org/Wiki/ITK_File_Formats.)  However  I  was not able to save a
TIF in pixel type float (for a more exact distance map).  Weren't  both  float
and 3D introduced with TIFF 6.0?

Is  there  no "popular" file format supported together with float or doulbe in
ITK?
What file format should I use for float or double and what viewer?
I tried the vtk image format (suffix: .vtk) but ParaView seems to  destinguish
between  diffrent vtk types. Would I just have to rename *.vtk to *.vti for my
floats?


Thanks.
