[Insight-users] Label Image question again...

You can use:

http://www.itk.org/Doxygen34/html/classitk_1_1SpatialObjectToImageFilter.html

However, that will give you separate points, not a contiguous  
irregular binary shape.
I do not know of any filter that can do that, it might be that you  
have to implement this.

Maybe somebody can help here?
