[Insight-users] class to read a particular vtk volume file format

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Luca,

We currently don't have in ITK a reader that can load triangle strips
from a VTK file.


    It would be a great assignment for a course project...   :-)


If anybody out there is looking for project ideas that students could
implement in a couple of weeks, while having fun with 3D graphidcs...
well, here is a good one.

Of course, if will be great if the hypothetical students submitted
the resulting code as a contribution to the Insight Journal   :-)
