Summary0006503: problems loading big endian meta image date into vtk
DescriptionImages stored by itk running on a sun sparc workstation are not displayed correctly on PC hardware. The reason is that vtkMetaImageReader checks for
the string "true" whereas itk writes "True" for the field ElementByteOrderMSB in the mhd file. A solution is suggested below.
Steps To Reproduce
Additional InformationFor my application, the problem was resolved by applying the following patch
(vtk version 5.0.3):

*** vtkMetaImageReader.cxx.bak 2007-09-19 18:30:09.000000000 +0200
--- vtkMetaImageReader.cxx 2007-09-19 18:30:09.000000000 +0200
*************** int vtkMetaImageReader::GetFileInformati
*** 392,398 ****
          }
        else if ( vtkMetaImageReaderInternal::StringEquals(key, "BinaryData", keylen) )
          {
! if ( !vtkMetaImageReaderInternal::StringEqualsCase(value, "true", valuelen) )
            {
            if ( populate )
              {
--- 392,398 ----
          }
        else if ( vtkMetaImageReaderInternal::StringEquals(key, "BinaryData", keylen) )
          {
! if ( !vtkMetaImageReaderInternal::StringEqualsCase(value, "True", valuelen) )
            {
            if ( populate )
              {
*************** int vtkMetaImageReader::GetFileInformati
*** 407,413 ****
        else if ( vtkMetaImageReaderInternal::StringEquals(key,
            "BinaryDataByteOrderMSB", keylen) )
          {
! if ( vtkMetaImageReaderInternal::StringEqualsCase(value, "true", valuelen) )
            {
            bigendian = 1;
            }
--- 407,413 ----
        else if ( vtkMetaImageReaderInternal::StringEquals(key,
            "BinaryDataByteOrderMSB", keylen) )
          {
! if ( vtkMetaImageReaderInternal::StringEqualsCase(value, "True", valuelen) )
            {
            bigendian = 1;
            }
