[Insight-users] polydata to pointset?

[Alexandre GOUAILLARD]

Dear Lisa.

itkPoinSet is the class that can contain the data you are looking at,
but there is no "pointset" reader.

You can use the MeshIO (recommanded) framework, or the old
VTKPolyDataReader to read your vtk file, at which point you have your
points in the point container, and your cells in the cell container,
that you can choose to discard if you whish. Look at the
VTKPolyDataReader tests and example for sample code.

regards,

alex.
