[Insight-users] Connect ITK with VTK Java

[Grzegorz Toporek]

Dear Gaëtan,

thanks for your answer.

Unfortunately option: WRAP_ITKVTK doesn't exist in new version of WrapITK,
even though it is mentioned in lots of posts/ tutorials I have found.
Strange...

As far as I have checked, this is because Java wrapping doesn't work well in
WrapITK project. There are several classes, such as: VTKImageExport,
VTKImageExportBase, VTKImageIO and many others that are wrongly wrapped,
giving strange output arguments (SWIGTYPE_p_void, SWIGTYPE_p_p_p_void_int
etc...). And all filters that are used to connect ITK with VTK (e.g
itkImageToVTKImageFilter.h) are based on those classes.

Additionally, building Java wrappers with WrapITK is broken in several
places. I took my a while to get rid of several errors during compilation.
That is why only Python language is supported by them.

Only good thing of WrapITK is that, they support new GDCM DICOM library that
is in new version of ITK. It works well as I have tested it.

Building External projects (e.g ItkVtkGlue) is also broken on Java.

What I am doing now to connect ITK with VTK in Java is... saving data into
raw, binary file and reading it with VTK. Which is a pain...

If somebody knows better solution please let me know.


Best regards,
Grzegorz

PS. Java wrappers for VTK works like a charm!!! Thank you for good job.
