New Features

  • Wrapping Improvements
 - Python GetArrayFromImage() and GetImageFromArray() from ITKBridgeNumPy are directly accessible from the Python itk namespace.
 - The itk package loads much faster: individual modules are loaded only when required.
 - Conversion of ITK images from and to NumPy array using Bridge NumPy supports RGB, RGBA, and Vector images.
 - VNL vectors and VNL matrices can be converted from and to NumPy objects with respectively the new couple of functions GetArrayFromVnlVector()/GetVnlVectorFromArray() and GetArrayFromVnlMatrix()/GetVnlMatrixFromArray()
 - The global timestamp is used across all ITK Python modules when built statically
 - Wrap additional classes such as KernelFunctionBase
 - itk_python_add_test CMake function added for Python script testing in ITK modules
