[Insight-users] Announce: WrapITK 0.3.0 released

[Pierre JUILLARD]

Dear ITK users, dear Gaëtan,


I would like to know if there is simple way to make use of ITK in ParaView
through wrapITK.
In ParaView 3.6, most of VTK classes are available as python command.
May it be so simple with ITK using wrapITK?

If so, would you recommend a way on how to process?

I thank you in advance for your comments.
Regards,


Pierre
