Re: [ITK-users] ITK and VTK connection problem

Hi,

The itk::ImageToVTKImageFilter should be used instead of the
itk::VTKImageImport class directly. See, for example:

  https://itk.org/ITKExamples/src/Bridge/VtkGlue/ConvertAnitkImageTovtkImageData/Documentation.html

HTH,
Matt

But I don't want to write it but rather display it using VTK renderer. But it seems to be not working. Can anyone see my code and help me out, please? Here's my code:
