[Insight-users] [ITK Community] Importing Const Data Buffer

[Matt McCormick]

Hi Andrew,

Even with changing cast, on G++ in it not compile because of
initialization of a const array with new.

A const version of the image can be obtained with

ImageType::ConstPointer importedImage = importFilter->GetOutput();

Hopt this helps,
Matt
