[ITK-users] Conversion of itk::Image to other formats

[Lambert Zijp]

Hi Sarthak,
There is no file I/O involved. It is about conversion in memory. In my
original post, MyFormat is a struct containing things like pixeltype and
number of dimensions and a couple of pointers to the pixels, the sizes of
the dimensions, and the coordinates. Conversion *from* MyFormat to itk, I
got more or less working. Now I want to convert from itk *to* MyFormat. A
function prototype is needed...

Greetings,
Lambert
