[Insight-users] Problem with Fast marching minimal path extraction

[Dan Mueller]

Hi Martijn,

Just taking a look at the code of examples.cxx again -- ugg. I wrote
this over 2 years ago when I was still an ITK noob...

I notice that in examples.cxx the dimension is hard-coded as a const
(see lines 28 or 132). This hard-coded value is "2";
Synthetic-04-Speed.mhd is a 3-d image. Did you change the dimension to
"3"? I think this could be the issue... If I was writing the code
again I would have allowed users to choose the dimension at
run-time...

Let us know if this works for you.

Cheers, Dan
