I have combined the code found in
itkReadITKImageShowVTK.cpp file (InsightApplications\Auxiliary\vtk) and the code
found in DicomSeriesReadImageWrite2.cpp (InsightToolkit\Examples\IO) to read a
DICOM series and visualize it in VTK. My problem is that the volume is not
visualized. I understand that the example in itkReadITKImageShowVTK.cpp is about
visualizing an image and not a volume. But i believe i have made the necessary
changes needed in order to visualize the volume i want. Here is my code.
template
<typename ITK_Exporter, typename VTK_Importer>
void
ConnectPipelines(ITK_Exporter exporter,
VTK_Importer* importer)
{
importer->SetUpdateInformationCallback(exporter->GetUpdateInformationCallback());
importer->SetPipelineModifiedCallback(exporter->GetPipelineModifiedCallback());
importer->SetWholeExtentCallback(exporter->GetWholeExtentCallback());
importer->SetSpacingCallback(exporter->GetSpacingCallback());
importer->SetOriginCallback(exporter->GetOriginCallback());
importer->SetScalarTypeCallback(exporter->GetScalarTypeCallback());
importer->SetNumberOfComponentsCallback(exporter->GetNumberOfComponentsCallback());
importer->SetPropagateUpdateExtentCallback(exporter->GetPropagateUpdateExtentCallback());
importer->SetUpdateDataCallback(exporter->GetUpdateDataCallback());
importer->SetDataExtentCallback(exporter->GetDataExtentCallback());
importer->SetBufferPointerCallback(exporter->GetBufferPointerCallback());
importer->SetCallbackUserData(exporter->GetCallbackUserData());
}

I would really appreciate any help. Thanks in
advance.
