[Insight-users] python wrapping InsightToolkit versus itk

[Richard Beare]

The new version (WrapITK, from google code, that uses "import itk")
has quite a lot of features that make it much nicer to use. An extract
from the guide that comes with it might give you an idea:

Python with current ITK wrappers:
image = itk.ImageUS2_Pointer(itk.ImageUS2_New())
witer = itk.ImageFileWriterIUS2_Pointer(itk.ImageFileWriterIUS2_New())
writer.SetInput(image);
writer.SetFileName("foo.tif");

Python with WrapITK:
image = itk.Image[itk.US, 2].New()
writer = itk.ImageFileWriter[image].New(Input=image, FileName="foo.tif")
