[ITK-users] Texture pixel by pixel

[Bradley Lowekamp]

Hello,

For my itkTextureFeatureImageFilter, the default for the OffsetVector is an empty list. So it is required to set this member to get meaningful results.

ITK is an OpenSource project. When you don't know how something is implemented you can open the hood and find out [1].

HTH,
Brad
