ITK/Tutorials/DOs and DONTs

PipeLine

DO

• Do call Update() before using the pipeline output

Image Creation

DO

• On a newly-manually-created image, do initialize the pixel values if you expect them to be so!
  • Example: image->FillBuffer(0); // initialize it to all dark
  • ITK doesn't initialize the image buffer when you call Allocate(). It is your responsibility to initialize the pixel values.

Coding Style

DO NOT

• Do not declare constanst using
  • #define CONST_VALUE_NAME 3
  • Use instead
    • const unsigned int CONST_VALUE_NAME = 3,
• ITK doesn't define constants with #defines in header files
