<div>Hello John</div>You are almost there.<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>First you have created a FileReader, but you don&#39;t have actually read the image. You have to call the Update method in the file reader so that the filter starts doint its job.</div>
<div>Once the file is read, you use the image at the output of the filter, and read it&#39;s contents. Notice that you don&#39;t need to create a new image, you need to use the output image from the filter.</div><div><br>
</div><div>Your code should look like this, modifications shown in bold font (there may be errors in this code as I didnt compiled it):</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; ">#include &quot;itkImage.h&quot;<br>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">Hello,<br><br>I use visualstudio2010 and cmake.I am trying to read an image with the Command  Prompt window (for example a .png image) and then get the data value of a pixel using the get()  method. Finally, I want to take the value of the pixel on the Command Prompt window. So, I have created an imageReader object and an IndexType object as it is shown in the following code. As structures separately, the two objects seem to be correct, but I don&#39;t know how to connect them together to get my data value. Could someone help me with this problem?<br>
